What necessary equipment do you need to look after a hamster?
Hamsters are simple to look after. the must is a cage, make sure it is a decent size, also you must have a water bottle. i suggest a running wheel, and exercise ball and wooden toys to keep teeth blunt. for the cage you need news paper and sawdust, beds can be wooden boxes or you could buy one.kitchen roll tubes are great toys too. obviously you need food, but that's cheep!
The animal needs to see a vet, so get an adult to arrange this for you. Try to avoid handling it and possibly separate it from the others to try and keep it still.
How do male hamsters attract a female hamster?
Female ferrets have seasons. And in those seasons, it's not really about the male "attracting" the female. It principally involves the male ferret leaping on the back of the female ferret, biting her neck so as to hold her in place, and consummating the "relationship".

What are you writing on your hampster with? Ink? Paint? Magic Marker? Highlighter? Sharpie? Crayon? Woodburning stylus? Eyebrow pencil? All of those things are pretty dangerous, except for maybe the eyebrow pencil.

Pets are not for writing on.
Can dwarf hamsters fit into a iMac Fantasy Cage?
The product description does say it works for dwarf hamsters, so I would assume yes. The dimensions are 38cm L x 58cm W x 38.5cm H, so if you believe that is enough space for your dwarf hamsters, I would say yes, they can.
Yes they can. To prevent that from occurring never house a hamster in a cage that has wire floors, and keep the cage clean and dry.

How can you prevent your hamster from getting wet tail?
Yes, wet tail is diarrhea. It can be especially severe in hamsters, and it will make their bottoms stay wet with liquidy waste. That is why it is referred to as wet tail. You will need to treat it quickly. They sell drops at most pet stores that you can either deliver orally, or add to their water. If left untreated, it can be fatal due to dehydration issues.
Do hamster chocolate treats make Syrian hamsters ill?

when your hamster eats to much it could not actually be eating the food it could be hiding it somewhere in the cage
but if your hamster is eating to much you should try removing the food bowl for a day or two but nothing happens when your hamster eats to much it just gets chubby.
Roughly the same way we do. The female needs to mate (copulate) with a male hamster. To do this, put the male and female in a box together. Watch carefully and separate them if they start fighting. They will fight because they are solitary animals. After mating, return them to their cages. Then let the magic of pregnancy begin.
What type of bedding should you use for your pregnant hamster and her babies?
If your hamster has babies, NEVER touch them because if your smell goes on the baby the mom will eat it. It's best when you put something cozy and soft so the mother can make a nest for them. DO NOT EVER disturb them because it can cause a lot of stress. Put the hamsters in a warm room where it's dark and put a light cloth on top of the cage. Do not separate them; keep in the same cage.

What do I do when my hamster's eye is red and dry?
Assuming his eyeball is red, with mucus, Polysporin works quite well. You can purchase this over the counter at any drug store. You can purchase Polysporin in drops or ointment (looks like Vaseline). The ointment I believe works better.
It works well on Dogs and Humans to clear up conjunctivitis.
Give your vet a call though, and ask if you can try it on your Hamster.
It's just a phone call.
If you decide to try the Polysporin, (after you talk to your vet), sooth his eye with a warm damp washcloth and keep the eye clean of mucus, before you apply ointment. Only apply ointment once a day.
YOUR HAMSTER MAY HAVE A RARE DISEASE THAT MAY NEED SURGERY (MINE DID)
What you need to do is go to a pet store and ask what they would say to do. Then call 1800PETMEDS and order an eye drop prescription. After that you need to call your vet for tips how to put the eye drops in.
Some hamster's eyes are naturally red but if you see anything abnormal about his eyes besides them being red you may want to take them to the vet. I wouldn't suggest using creams or topical's because the hamster can lick it off. If a hamster licks off creams it can be life-threatning. The best thing to do is probably to take the hamster to a vet or a local pet store and see what they say.
Why can't my Russian dwarf hamster open one of his eyes?

A Hamster Doesn't have to be old to eat cheese. Cheese is a food item to hamsters that must be given rarely.
Cheese is a Dairy Product That Hamster shouldn't have. But this can be given in Moderation but be careful when giving your Hamster Cheese. Give very little and a Hamster has to be 7 weeks old to have cheese.
The only cheese that you can give a hamster is chedder. Other cheeses like:
- Mozzarella
- Frulano
- Provolone
- Swiss Cheese
- Proccessed Chedder Cheese
- Cream Cheese
Are very dangerous to be given to your Hamster.
