How do you get something out of the cheek of your hamster?

It is perfectly normal for a hamster to pack its cheeks. They have pouches built into the for the purpose of packing them. It is how they transport things. They are kind of like their own "personal suitcases." If you try removing things from these pouches yourself, you can actually hurt it. They can shove amazingly large things in those little pouches, and it will make their cheeks look HUGE. It is okay. Check out the video below, and you can see a hamster in action stuffing whole baby carrots into her pouches. You can tell that she knows what she is doing, and it isn't hurting her at all.

When You feed your feeding your little piggies make sure you DO NOT give him too much. It has a lot of water content and too much could cause diarrhea. Apples do have alot of acidity but not a lot give him in moderation. Like half a slice to a slice per half week or so.Capemaster3000

Can black lights harm hamsters?

Black lights are no more harmful than normal florescent lights. Black lights that are available commercially are normal lights, but with a coating on the inside of them to block the visible light spectrum. Black lights are sources of the UVC wavelength which is harmless to any animal.

Here is a great example of the ignorance of people regarding black lights

"Seriously, don't even try it! And it probably can. If it doesn't it will shock them anyway!"

There are high intensity/high power UltraViolet lights which can be produced to kill microorganisms using UVA radiation. these are being adopted in water treatment plants because it doesnt leave any harmful chemicals such as chlorine in the water. but these are thousands of dollars each, and would burn your skin from direct exposure. (very different from black lights)

Does it make it more difficult to go to sleep at night if you train yourself to stay awake by doing homework in bed?

Yes, because by studying your brain is more active when it actually should be slowing down so you can go into REM sleep (deep sleep) and get up rested. If you can try studying earlier in the evening and not doing it in bed. If you have to catch up on homework at night then do it sitting on the couch or at a table and don't hit the bed. Train yourself that bed is for sleeping and a table and chair or the sofa is a place for homework.

If I use soft bedding for the ferret to sleep on can I use wood shavings for the litter tray?

Hi, i honestly do not recommend laying soft bedding in a ferret cage, they sometimes like to chop on soft things and most of the softer bedding is chewy as well which if they swallow it they will most likely get it lodged in their intestine and need emergency surgery. Pine bedding works the best, they find comfort in almost anything. iv seen my ferrets sleep on top of a stack of CD`s!

100% Pine bedding Is what i recommend.

_______________________________________________

Pine bedding is dangerous to ferrets. Period.

A better option for litter would be recycled paper pellets such as Marshall or Yesterdays News. I use wood stove pellets.

Blankets and hammocks are fine for them to sleep on.
