Hamster Care

Well this is something people don't often think about... It wont exactly blind the hamster but it can damage its eyesight and scare it badly!! I would suggest put your camera on "flower photography" and put your hamster in a spot that isn't too dark or bright. It will make the perfect Christmas Card!

usually about 8-12, but sometimes they eat some of their young so they will have less to look after, so you might find less than a normal amount if your hamster has babies.

As far as I'm concerned, baby hamsters should NOT do this!

They're diet consists of sunflower seeds, alfalfa, corn, etc. For more information, click the link below.

It depends on where you are going. But usually, yes. The hamster may have a disease that people won't want going cross country, it is part of protecting the habitat of countries. Even if is very unlikely the hamster has a disease, if it is expected that it has then tests may be run on the hamster to make sure it is healthy and can pass across. People may be suspicious though if you are taking your hamster on a holiday, but if you are moving, then of course the hamster would come with you.

At 30 years old you should be able to tell quite easily the sex, the males shell underneath tends to be concave (dips in) and the females straight but sometimes the female does have a concave shell so the best way is too look at the tail, a males tail is long and thinner than a females and he will keep it to one side when he walks the female tail is short and dumpy almost triangular in shape.:)

Miner bees - harmless.......

If you look under your horse's tail where its anus is, a mare will have a loop shaped slit under its anus which is the mare's vagina. If you look under your horse's tail and see there is only an anus and no slit then your horse is a male.

To confirm, look between the horse's hind legs. A male horse will have a triangular sheath hanging down, which houses his penis. If he is a stallion (rather than a gelding) you will also be able to see the scrotum, which is quite large - it's unmistakeable.

A female horse's udder is between her legs, in the same place as the genitalia of a male. When she is not in foal or nursing, it is flat and you might be able to make out two teats. When she is in the last few months of her pregnancy, or when she is actually feeding a foal, the udder will be swollen with milk and the teats will stand out.

I have Serbian hamster and they eat sunflower seeds other than that they throw the rest...

Yes, but you need to get your hamster to the vet as soon as possible, before the tumors grow even bigger.

1. You need to pet it

2.Feed it

3.Give it water

4.Play with it

6.Be gentle with it

7.Look after it if it's out of its cage

8.Clean its cage

9. You should be 7 or older to have a pet hamster ( unless it's a dwarf hamster you have to be at least 9 years old and 5 months)

If you are just bathing your hamster then make sure it's not to hot or to cold and make sure it's not to high. You must bath it in a sink. Also when you remove your hamster from the sink make sure you dry it well else it might catch a cold.

Now you are asking how to bath a hamster's eyes. First you get a bowl and put in warm water add a little salt, but not loads else you can blind your hamster. After that you get a cotton wall bud or ball. As long as your gentle it can be ever but if you are worried then use a cotton ball. Then hold your hamster. Maybe someone else could hold it if it's easier. Gently go under its eye slowly about 5 times. That should do. If you fell it needs doing more then maybe you should think about doing it once every week until it looks better.

They both have their cons and pros.

Barred cages have more ventilation and your hamster can climb, but it's bad if they're chewing on the bars and it can get very cold.

Tanks are virtually escape proof but need a lot of cleaning.

Depends on the type (where it came from). Most like warm, humid environments.

When you are framing a wall. The studs should be between 14 and 16 inches apart depending on the kind of wall you are putting up, typically they are about 16 inches apart.

If you are asking how long they should be from the ceiling to the floor then that is simple.

Framing means you need to make a solid square with the studs inbetween, so you need to put a 2x4 along the top, and along the bottom as well as the sides. Once those are in put the 2x4 'stud' between and trim off excess to fit inside the bottom and top frame.

if you don't know what you are doing, you should probably be consulting a professional. Especially if you plan on running electrical wires through the wall.

make sure the walls are insulated, and depending on the room or location you may also need a moisture barrier.

Yes, hamsters can eat strawberry's, but i recommend that you don't give them to your hamster very often. Use them as a treat.

i wouldn't recommend using dryer lint as it can contain chemicals and trash.

The same as any old hamster. If you look up: What is the best way to take care of a hamster? You will find a good answer.

It may be the male hamsters testies or if it is female it may be a tumor.

my Friend has one it doesn't bite her, she calms her down by giving her a treat and brushing her but that doesn't work with all of them

it will abandon its baby.

Most likely the mother of the hamsters.

Hamsters can eat apples but without seeds. They can eat a lot of (but not all) fruits. However, they can't eat citric fruits. They can eat lettuce, carrots, celery, broccoli (uncooked), corn, etc. From my personal experience I have noticed that they especially like carrots, lettuce, corn, sunflower seeds, and broccoli. They usually eat uncooked foods, though.

Yes I believe so. My cousins have different types of Dwarf Hamsters and they can climb up about 2 feet of plastic tubes and probably more! I assume because of this your Chinese dwarf hamster would be able to do the same. You know the little bumps in the tubes? They use those to climb up! Cool, right?
