Hamsters

I always feed my hamster Muffin those yogurt drinks where you shake em up and they have fruity yogurt inside. Muffin is as good as new, so I bet it's okay. I wouldn't feed a hamster something with a lot of sugar, though.

Your hamster will probably not walk on that leg, perhaps dragging it. Also, I had a hamster that broke her ankle, and she chewed off her foot. I brought her to the vet, and they said that they could try different types of surgeries, but they can't use any anesthesia. I decided that putting her to sleep was the best choice for her, because the surgeries sounded very painful. :( Good luck, and I hope your hamster's leg isn't broken.

No, hamsters do not hibernate. They are not true hibernators like some other animals. Hamsters are in a state of torpor during times of rest, where they may seem inactive and sleep more, but they do not experience the same processes as true hibernation.

Yes, because my hamster Maxwell climbs the cage every night and i look at it always, when he fell down he is still ACTIVE because you need to put some saw dust or wood shavings for your hamster so that when he/she falls down he/she will not get injured.

Hamsters are not typically eaten by humans. Eating hamsters is not a common practice in most cultures, and they are primarily kept as pets, not for consumption. Additionally, it is important to note that consuming hamsters can pose health risks due to potential diseases they may carry.

Yes, it is generally recommended to limit human contact with a new hamster for the first week to allow them time to adjust to their new environment without feeling stressed. This helps them feel more secure and comfortable in their new surroundings. After the initial adjustment period, you can gradually start interacting with your hamster to build trust and a bond.

A black foot that is not moving in a hamster could indicate a lack of blood flow or a serious infection. It is important to seek veterinary care immediately to properly diagnose and treat the underlying issue to prevent further complications.

I think you should wait another few days. If it is still there, it might be cancer. Take your pet down the vets to get checked out. The vet might give you some medicine. My friends hamster had that and it looked like a grape was in his mouth.

Hope I helped. :) Hope your hamster gets well again. Please reply on any other questions,

It sounds like your hamster may have a rectal prolapse, which occurs when the rectal lining protrudes through the anus. It is essential to seek veterinary care immediately to properly diagnose and treat this condition. Avoid attempting to remove the protrusion yourself, as it can worsen the situation and cause pain to your hamster.

Yes, hamsters can break their spines if they fall from a significant height or are handled roughly. It is important to be gentle and cautious when handling hamsters to prevent any injuries. If you suspect your hamster has a spinal injury, it is crucial to seek veterinary care immediately.

you can feed fruits or vegetables to a hamster. but not all types of fruits and vegetables are suitable for hamsters. bananas, yogurt drops(from pet stores), carrots, apples(not skin)and a little fresh squeezed orange in seeds or regular food is good but things like lettuce, grapes, celery or watermelon are too stringy. dont take chances with their diet. small seving sizes, stick to the size of your finger nail.

Nocturnal hamsters are generally quiet while awake at night. They are more active during the night but tend to produce minimal noise. However, hamsters may produce occasional sounds like running on their wheel or chewing.

The young girl featured in "Bum Fights" videos was not a participant, but rather a bystander interviewed by the filmmakers. Her involvement in the controversial video series sparked backlash and criticism for exploiting homeless individuals.

Hamsters may freeze at random times as a defensive mechanism when they feel threatened or scared. It is their way of trying to blend in with their surroundings to avoid being seen by predators. In most cases, once they feel safe again, they will resume their normal activities.

Hamsters actually CAN explode....but due to a tumor. If a hamster has a tumor that goes undetected/untreated it may get so large that it cannot be contained in the hamsters body, and therefore explodes leaving the poor hammy dead. :(

You have to be gentle. When you first get them you should do steps. It's really easy to make them hate you. 1. First day, leave them, let them explore their new home. 2) Hand feed them. 3) Attempt to hold them in the cage. (If they don't like it or are not sure, leave them but try again the next day) 4) Hold the outside the cage in a small box. Good Luck.

It depends on the species of hamster, but assuming the animal is in good health and living comfortably on the correct diet, 24 - 36 months would be approaching the upper limits.

I have personally known a hamster to live for 4 years... but I wouldn't expect to find another that did.

Usually it is pink, black, brown, or another color.

Hamsters use their keen sense of smell to locate and attract potential mates. They communicate through scent markings and pheromones to signal their readiness to breed. When a female hamster is in heat, she emits strong pheromones that can be detected by males from a distance, leading them to seek her out for mating.

Most likely, the hamster is fully blind in the blue eye. I assume the hamster is getting old. For a hamster 1 1/2 to 3 years is old. It is common for hamsters to lose their sight due to the fact that they are born with poor vision to begin with.

Yes, hamsters can die from internal bleeding, especially if it is not treated promptly. Internal bleeding can occur due to various reasons such as injury, ingestion of a sharp object, or certain health conditions. If you suspect that your hamster is experiencing internal bleeding, it is important to seek immediate veterinary care.

Yes it is possible. Often when hamsters are very young it is difficult to tell what sex they are. you can take him/her to the vets to find out, or you can look at some diagrams to demonstrate what a male hamster and a female should look like so that you can sex them yourself.

Your hamster is likely purring, which is a sign of contentment and relaxation. It means that he feels safe and comfortable in your presence. Keep providing gentle strokes and interactions to maintain this positive relationship with your hamster.

Hamsters are relatively strong for their size. They are able to climb, burrow, and chew through various materials using their sharp teeth and strong claws. However, compared to larger animals, their strength is limited.
