Do Chinese dwarf hamsters like music?

I'm pretty sure they do. My hamster listens she doesn't run and hide and when she sleeps it doesn't bother her so I think they like music. But I play classic, and if anything else I go for mellowed out music.

How come a fancy hamster is not on the list of all the hamsters in the world?

The correct name for a pet hamster (not including the dwarf varieties) is a Syrian, or Golden Hamster.

There are many unofficial names for the species, some refer to colouration, 'black bear hamster' for example. Some refer to fur style, like 'teddy bear hamster', or a mixture, 'fancy hamster'. However none of these are actual species in of themselves, they are all Syrian Hamsters.

What do you do if your dwarf hamster had 4 babies and you got her from a pet store?

I recently purchased two dwarf hamsters (of which I was told both were female) about two weeks ago. I had to separate them after 3 days due to fighting. Tonight I went to clean her cage and while she was out in her ball her bedding started moving! My first thought was that dwarf hamsters gestate for 18-21 days. So either I got a male and a female and they were very early or my little innocent Flip was prego when I got her.

I immediately called the pet store, and they said they would take any unwanted babies after two weeks. The need 2 weeks of alone time in their cage without cleaning or touching the hamster.

I hope you can keep one, but try your local Pet Land stores or a local non-chain pet store. They should take them off your hands for you.

AnswerI can't give you any help on raising baby hamsters, but I can tell you that the babies legally belong to you. Whether the pet store knew the hamster was pregnant or not, they are yours to keep if you so choose. You are not doint anything dishonest nor do you have an obligation to inform the store or to pay "extra" for the babies.

Are walmart cedar shavings ok for teddy bear hamsters?

no, cedar and pine are no good for hamsters they may be too dusty and the oils are not good for a hamster to digest; plus cotton is never good, many people say, "cotton bedding does not tangle around my hamsters limbs," my hamster is not sick from eating cotton bedding". but I am not too sure if some people watch there hamster 24/7, but cotton bedding do hurt hamsters it can tangle around limbs, cause digestion problems, and can even cause a hamster to chew its own arm, tail, or anything that is tangled around the hamster's body or limb off. so paper based bedding it the most best chose.

How do you tame a robo dwarf hamster?

Yes, with patience and persistence. Hamsters are easily tamable but it does take time. Handle it carefully, on its own terms, multiple times a day. Never reach in to simply pick it up, never force it to be held if it doesn't want to for too long, and most importantly: do not get angry if it soils your hand. Daily devotion will yield a pet who might eventually simply scamper to your hand when its laid flat. Removing its instinct to escape because of anything you do by ensuring it is comfortable with your scent and presence at all times is the key.

Do fancy Russian dwarf hamsters run fast?

What sedative can you give a dwarf hamster?

I would not sedate a tiny animal without the help of a vet even with herbals. However, hamster's teeth grow continually, so they must always have hard things to chew on. Their food mix should have hard kibble and seeds in the shell in it, or give them wood hamster toys from a pet store.

You should always educate yourself about an animal's behavior before you bring one home. This will prevent the animal being treated unfairly. If your hamster is keeping you up at night, it probably has more to do with his environment than a need to be sedated. They are nocturnal creatures. If you have it in a wire or plastic cage, it is probably hanging off of the sides and chewing. You can prevent this by moving him into a glass aquarium with tall sides and a wire mesh lid. The tall sides will prevent him from climbing up on his toys and chewing the rim. If it is his running in a squeaky wheel, look in your pet store for the silent alternatives. The old fashioned metal ones will eventually all squeak. Also, look into investing in glass and metal water bottles instead of plastic. This will also do away with chewing noises. Be sure the hamster has wood pieces to chew on. You can pick these up at the pet store. I give our old cardboard oatmeal boxes and such when are done with them. This keeps their teeth worn down. If you assess the situation and try to figure out a solution, then you AND your pet can both be happier.
