Yes, you can over feed your dwarf hamster. Do not give it more than a handful of food. When it's plate is clean wait until it goes to its food bowl. Then that means its hungry. So feed it.

Will two roborovski hamster fight if put in the same cage?

all hamsters housed TOGETHER have the potential to fight, but u can minimize it:

1.) litter mates are the best, two sisters, or two brothers works the best! more than 2 and u can have more constant "HEAD OF THE HOUSE changes" meaning they will fight over whose in charge with EXAMPLE: brother C is in charge..... so what about brother A and brother B? those two will fight to determine their pecking order... and if any falls ill, that ranking order may be challenged and u get more fights..... best is 2! siblings is best

2.) i house 4 of dwarfs in colonies, but heres the thing, either buy food dishes (large enough for like everyone to SIT in the dish at the same time, with room for at least 1/2 more guests..... so in a group of 4? buy a dish that will sit at least 6-7 dwarfs in the dish so that no one hogs the dish and theres some space between them if they all decided to eat at the same time.... food and water and shelter are the priorities in SURVIVAL... everything else they can fight over with less, but those 3 are very crucial to their survival

*** lasagna dishes (1.5 cm deep, 8" across, and 3.5" down, makes for a nice 6 ham buffet dish, also food enough for more than the hamsters u have in the cage, so if u got 4 hamsters, food for 5 or 6 works best.... theres less rush to grab and stuff their cheeks cuz they worry they won't get enough.... i gen feed enough for 2 whole days DAILY, so they never worry and btw mine don't even hoard at all.... food for thought right? no hoarding?

3.) if u can buy one wheel per HAMSTER, PLUS 1, so a group of 4? have 4-5 wheels..... or if budget is an issue? at least put 2 in for a group of 4, and buy the next size up, so dwarfs can use the 6.5 but get them the 8" this will allow 2 to run same time, and place at opposite ends of your cage, so that they gotta run to either sides of the cages to check if its in use, this will reduce crowding at the base of one wheel

4.) if the hamsters do fight? always take the BULLY OUT FIRST, it sends a message to the bully (it takes away its power, cuz it feels powerful when it wins a fight) then take the victim out, and if u want THEN place back the bully ...... by doing it this way u won't be telling the bully that he won

*when putting the victim back in the tank/cage/bin whatever, take the bully out, place him in a holding cage (like a transport cage) scoop out most of the bedding, add fresh bedding, and then put the victim in, leave him/her in the newly cleaned cage for about 30 mins so that "victim becomes elevated in that its now his/her home" and then add the bully back opposite side of wherever your victim is currently at, so that they can sniff their way towards each other, it doesn't absolutely work, but it does work better than adding victim back into the tank that the bully is sitting and waiting for him/her to return.

They'll get depressed if lonely but they will fight as i have found out with mine found it dead yesterday night eaten by the other.

What do you feed a baby hamster?

Feeding hamsters is rather simple, at your local pet store, you can buy high-protein food for them or at home you can feed them 'treats' such as fruit and vegtable. I find my hamster enjoys popcorn, but some of these vegtables help their immune system;

  • Seedless apples
  • Blueberries
  • Seedless grapes
  • Broccoli
  • Carrots
  • Cauliflower
  • Clevery
  • Peas
  • Uncooked pasta
  • Unsalted pumpkin seeds
  • Unsalted sunflower seeds
  • Alfalfa
  • Cooked chicken (no sauce, brine, etc.)
  • Melo
  • Kale (decoritive lettuce)
  • Cucumbers

Hope I helped you & your hamster!! (:

How long till you know your pregnant?

A pregnancy test can be taken from two weeks after you last had sex.

Typically even if you conceive on the day that you have sex it takes 6-10 days for a fertilized egg to implant itself before you're pregnant, and for hormones to reach a high enough level to be detectable. Otherwise you may notice bodily changes such as missing your next menstrual period.

Why do hamsters yawn?

Well no body can be completely sure but people think that...... #1. The first states that yawning occurs when the animal's blood contains increased amounts of carbon dioxide and, therefore, becomes in need of the influx of oxygen that a yawn can provide. Researchers believed this theory to be true at least since Hippocrates, but studies have since shown it to be either incorrect or, at the very least, flawed. Yawning may, in fact, reduce oxygen intake compared to normal respiration, not increase it. #2. The second notion states that yawning is the body's way of controlling the animal's brain temperature. The process is thought to cool off your brain, much like a fan cools the inside of a computer. #3. Another speculated reason for yawning is the desire to stretch their muscles, prefurably after a nice and resting nap. All these are just thoughts and beilifs, but you never know one of them could be true! well I hope that helped!

How do you train a robo dwarf hamster?

To train your hamster, I belive you should get the small hamster use to its' new sourounding, and you. Then you can let the pet crawl around in a hamster ball on the floor, and later you can start to call his/her name. After a while the pet will know his/her name, and that is how you can teach the hamster to come. You don't have to say the pets name than say come, all you have to do is call the hamsters' name, that's it!

Which breed of dwarf hamster is the best for kids?

In my opinion, the Chinese Dwarf Hamster is the best. It isn't truly a dwarf but it is the size of one. It is very timid and never bites. I have had two. I currently own one. I recommend a female though. This breed isn't very common due to it's high demand. If you live in California don't get this breed because it is illegal there. Don't have two males/females with each other in the same cage though. Males will fight to the death 7/10 of the time and females 9/10 of the times. They are nice to humans though. I STRONGLY recommend a female Chinese Dwarf Hamster. Hope this helps!

How much does a dwarf bunny cost?

Find Yourself a BunnyThe best place to get any rabbit is from the breeder - the farmer who actually raised the rabbit and its parents. These people can be found in almost every town and village, but the best place to look is at a County Fair or youth agriculture show. There you may find rabbits for sale, or even for free, directly from the people who can help you give them a good home. Your veterinarian may know of a local rabbit breeder. Also check with the House Rabbit Society for animals that have been given up for adoption. Do not buy rabbits from pet stores - they often have undesirable congenital health issues that cannot be detected, and you cannot know what sort of animal farm you are supporting (and that could be really bad).

Unless you're looking to breed, or for guaranteed pure-bred, I suggest adopting your bunny from your local humane shelter. The bunny will be in good health and neutered if they're letting you adopt it. I got mine (a Netherlands dwarf) for $30.

Can a female hamster die after giving birth?

Yes they can up until 6 weeks depending on the gender females can stay with there mom for up too 4 months but males a two month period would be the max because there are always the chance of them getting there mom or sisters pregnant all the males should be seperated by the females by a month and all the babies should be seperated by 4 months hope thus helped i have alot of experiance as i have bred six litters of hamsters before

What breed is best for hamsters?

The best type of hamster to get, is the teddybear hamsters. A short teddybear hamster are easier, in my opinion, because they require less grooming, and when you let them outside of their cage, the stuff stuck in their long fur doesn't track all over your house.

Teddybear hamsters are by far, the most well tempered, and adore nothing better than attention.

Don't expect your hamster to be lovable the minute you get him/her! They can bite, because they are scared!

Don't touch them for two days, to let them get used to their home.

Also, NEVER buy a hamster just because they are cute and tiny.
