Hamsters

Missing fur patches on the inside of a hamster's back legs could be due to over-grooming, an injury, or a skin condition. It's important to monitor your hamster for any signs of discomfort, inflammation, or other skin issues, and consult a veterinarian if the patches persist or worsen.

Dwarf hamsters do not require a wheel to survive, but having one can help provide mental stimulation and exercise. It is recommended to provide a wheel for dwarf hamsters to prevent boredom and promote their natural behaviors, such as running.

Female Syrian hamsters can get pregnant every 4 days as they have a very short reproductive cycle. However, it is not recommended to continuously breed them as it can lead to health issues and stress on the mother and offspring. It is best to allow the female to rest between pregnancies.

Smaller than a human baby's fingernail or the same size.

Hamsters can eat carrots, some people actually use them as treats.

Robo hamsters very rarely bite, although they are very difficult to catch and hold. They will jump out of your hands from any height and will run and hide to avoid being caught. Despite their skittish nature, they are not generally aggressive. I have never even been nipped by my robo.

yes they do. if you bring your finger close to there eye slowly, they will close it.=]
Yes they do but they are so small that it is hard to see them.

If your hamsters food bowl is more than 1 inch deep, then dont put water in it, or your hamster may slip and fall in, which is bad for its skin.

I hope this helps you and your hamster,

The average weight of a hamster is around 2-6 ounces (56-170 grams). However, this can vary based on the breed and age of the hamster. It's important to regularly monitor your hamster's weight to ensure they are healthy.

Well, it depends on the breed, not usually the gender. I have a Long Haired Teddy Bear Hamster female that has never bitten ANYONE while my friend has a Long Haired Teddy Bear Hamster male and he has only bitten once. Dwarf hamsters are known to be very territorial and bite A LOT. Especially two males together.

could be a number of things. maybe you should buy some spray on shampoo like i had for my hammy. the company is Hagen. it comes out like a foam and you don't have to rinse it out. it smells a little funny but it also helps with lice or fleas (or prevents if your hammy doesn't already have them). and it's really easy to use. you can use it without any water. just spray on (i would recommend spraying on a cloth first instead and then wiping them with the stuff instead of spraying directly on them because it scares them pretty bad sometimes mostly the noise but also the feeling) and leave it.

Short haired hamsters typically reach maturity around 3-4 months of age. At this age, they are considered adults and may exhibit behaviors like being more active and territorial. It's important to provide them with a suitable environment and diet to support their growth and development.

Hamsters do not have visible external sex organs, so it is difficult to determine the sex of a hamster just by looking at them. The size of a hamster's rear end is not an accurate way to determine their sex. It is best to consult a veterinarian or an experienced breeder to determine the sex of a hamster.

Males are generally larger than females. Females have a more rounded rear end. It is difficult to identily the reproductive parts. The males do have testes, but they don't always descend or may descend late. While finding testes certainly means they are male, not finding them does not guarantee they are female.

Signs that your dwarf hamster may have mites include excessive scratching, hair loss, red or irritated skin, and visible tiny black or red dots moving on their fur. Consulting a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment is recommended if you suspect your hamster has mites.

Yes, pesticides can be harmful to hamsters if ingested or if they come into contact with their skin or fur. It's important to keep hamsters away from areas that have been treated with pesticides to avoid any potential harm to their health.

You can visually inspect the nesting area to see if there are any remaining babies. Additionally, you may notice the mother grooming and caring for all of her babies equally if they have all been delivered. If you suspect there may be more babies but are unsure, take the mother and babies to a veterinarian for confirmation.

You can connect two hamster cages by using tube tunnels specifically designed for hamsters. These tunnels can be attached to the cages with connectors or tubes that allow your hamster to move freely between the two cages. Make sure the connection is secure and the hamster cannot escape.

The cost of a hamster at Petsmart in Georgia typically ranges from $5 to $20, depending on the breed and age of the hamster. Additional costs may include a cage, bedding, food, and other accessories. It is recommended to check with your local Petsmart for specific pricing.

The cost of dwarf hamsters can vary depending on the breeder or pet store, but they typically range from $5 to $30. Factors such as the hamster's age, breed, and color can also influence the price. It is important to consider ongoing costs such as housing, food, bedding, and veterinary care when budgeting for a dwarf hamster.

Sure you can. But you shouldn't. It's not suggested by most pet folks 'cause it's easy to injure them in a pocket. If you forget you put them in there and do something, you can crush or otherwise hurt them. We're not used to moving around with a little living critter in our pocket. That's why it is a bad idea. If you want a picture or something like that, go ahead. But remove the little furry beast as soon as the shutter clicks.

The most popular children's show featuring Hammy the hamster was ""Tales of the Riverbank" where Hammy, GP (the Guinea Pig) and Roderick (the rat) had many adventures with their friends in the countryside. They were live animals filmed with a recorded voice describing the action and providing the animals voices. It was originally produced in Canada for CBC and had limited syndication to other countries.
