Hamsters

Syrian hamsters are generally known to be least likely to bite, as they are more docile and less prone to aggression compared to other hamster breeds. It's important to remember that each hamster has its own personality, so proper handling and care can also play a role in reducing the likelihood of being bitten.

Stinky green discharge in a hamster could indicate an infection or digestive issue. It's important to take your hamster to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment. Keep your hamster clean and monitor its behavior for any other signs of illness.

There is a breed of hamster called the long-haired Syrian hamster, not classified as a dwarf. These hamsters have longer fur compared to the short-haired Syrians. The dwarf hamster species, which includes the Campbell's, Winter White, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters, typically have shorter fur.

No, it is not possible.

Im sorry but what were you thinking when you asked this question?

Did you think that the female just gets babies from the stork or somthing.

PS. not trying to be mean

THis is what happens, when a boy and a girl hamster meet for lunch. The boy usually wants to pay, but then the girl doesn't want to feel like a freeloader. So they have a fight and who ever wins gets to choose who pays. So that's the birds and the bees talk in hamster form.

The two most popular types of hamsters commonly kept as pets are the Syrian hamster (also known as the golden hamster) and the dwarf hamster (which includes various species like Russian Campbell dwarf, Roborovski, and Chinese hamsters). These two types are popular due to their small size, cute appearance, and relatively easy care requirements.

Sometimes you can keep a guinea pig and a rabbit together, they usually can be seen together.we have 2 female guineas and a male dwarf rabbit 2gether, although the rabbit has his own cage at night.

well yes you can because i have 6 rabbits and have recently had 2 Guinea pigs and we had no spare cages for them so we put the Guinea pigs in with the rabbits and they got along perfect.

The life span of a hamster is two to three years.

On average, hamsters live for around 2-3 years in captivity. However, some hamsters can live up to 4 years with proper care and a healthy environment. It's important to provide them with a balanced diet, a clean living space, and regular veterinary check-ups to help ensure they live a long and healthy life.

Hamsters need salt for the same reason we do, without it our nervous system could not function. It is not mandatory to have a salt lick or salt wheel for your hamster but it would be a good idea. Hamsters live in the wild where they get their minerals from plants and stuff. Hamsters can't always get minerals and the salt they need in their cage that's why its a good idea to get a salt lick or something for your hamster.

Hamsters just love aquamarine blue, before my little fluffy died, everytime I put on my aquamarine blue t-shirt my little baby would go nuts. If you don't have any aquamarine blue items the next best thing would be to try olive green(that's their second favourite color).

Hamsters teeth can grow to 1 to 2 inches long. That's why they sometimes gnaw on the bars of cages. If your hamster doesnt have bars on its cage, give it some wooden blocks to make it's teeth shorter.

If the injury is significant but not fatal then its behaviour will change, perhaps subtly, perhaps overtly. It really depends on the nature of the injury. Look for changes in the way it responds to normal day-to-day interactions like feeding or handling, and pay attention to its interactions with peer hamsters if housed socially. Weak or injured hamsters/rats/mice are usually withdrawn and will be picked on by their peers, sometimes to the point of death.

Check for any physical differences in the hamster's appearance, such as size, coloring, or markings. Observe the hamster's behavior and see if it is different from before. Also, look for any changes in the hamster's interaction with you or its environment.

No, newborn hamsters do not turn purple. If a hamster appears to be purple, it may have some sort of health issue or condition that needs to be promptly addressed by a veterinarian.

People connect hamsters and Guinea pigs with mice and some people dislike mice.

Some people usually think that hamsters are the same as mice, and that is why they hate hamsters and Guinea pigs.

Hamsters do not hibernate, BUT they go into a hibernating state. Hamsters are not true hibernaters but they go into a state of winter numbness allowing them to hibernate. It hibernates for about four/five months of winter. Normally hamsters should not hibernate.

Yes, paint can be toxic to hamsters. The fumes and chemicals in paint can be harmful to a hamster's respiratory system and overall health. It is important to keep hamsters away from areas where paint is being used and ensure they are not exposed to any paint fumes.

You can clean a FurReal Friend by using a damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid submerging the toy in water or using any harsh chemicals. For stubborn stains, you can spot clean with a mild soap and water solution and allow it to air dry completely.

because to get a pudding hamster u must breed a (best case scenario) FEMALE CAMPBELL to a MALE WINTE WHITE, which allows the babies to safely pass through the mum during delivery as the campbell baby heads are bigger than winter whites and if winter white females were used the babies would get stuck...... as for why? cuz u have a cross, that uses genes from both types of hamsters, and winters change colour, and the campbell has black on its back, so its either temporary or it maybe permanent one reason to be careful when breeding them to know the mum and dads history.... what genes they carry influence the offsprings they create

Running in circles with its ears pinned back may indicate that the hamster is stressed or frightened, not necessarily that it is dying. It's important to observe its behavior and look for other signs of illness or distress, such as lethargy, lack of appetite, or unusual breathing. Consider consulting with a vet for a proper assessment.

It could be a prolapsed uterus or a retained placenta. It is important to seek immediate veterinary attention for the female hamster to prevent any complications.

My hamster has been alive for 3 and a half years but unfortunately died on 18 September 2009 :'( !
