Hamsters

Yes, however, would not recommend using it in the cage every time you clean it (preferably once a week). It is good to use it about once a month. What you do is you mix a good amount of dish soap (if using a fish tank like me) and then you add 1 and a half CAPS of bleach. Not cups... when you are done rinsing it and sponging it, I would recommend you rinse thoroughly until all of the smell of bleach is gone. If using a cage, do the same steps but i would recommend using about only one CAP of bleach. And of course rinsing thoroughly until the smell is gone. Hope this helps:)

Hamsters have a relatively short lifespan due to their small size and high metabolic rate, which can lead to faster aging and increased vulnerability to diseases. Additionally, hamsters have been selectively bred in captivity for certain traits, which can also impact their overall health and longevity.

Hamsters tend to have a stronger odor compared to bunnies, as they have scent glands that produce a musky smell. Regular cage cleaning and proper hygiene practices can help reduce the smell associated with both animals.

You can tell if a hamster is a girl or boy by looking at the distance between the urethra and the anus. In male hamsters, the distance is further apart and their testicles are also more visible, while in female hamsters, the distance is much closer together and they have a vaginal opening. It is best to consult with a veterinarian for confirmation.

Yes, hamsters can be kept indoors as pets. It is recommended to provide them with an appropriate cage that is spacious, well-ventilated, and escape-proof. Additionally, make sure to provide them with proper bedding, food, and enrichment activities to keep them healthy and happy.

Hamsters are territorial by nature as a survival instinct to protect their resources, such as food, shelter, and mates. In the wild, territorial behavior helps them establish and defend their own space against potential threats or competing individuals. It's an innate behavior that helps them feel secure and in control of their environment.

I'm sorry to hear about your hamster and hopefully this will help! Hydrating your hamster shouldn't be too hard. Just make sure the little creature always has nice cool water in it's water bottle. If you don't have a water bottle you can just put water in a dish for him. Sometimes if you put water in a dish though, your hamster might knock it down, but and some pet shops they sell heavy dishes that it can't knock down. Just give it plenty of water and refill it everyday for the next three days and the thirsty guy should be fine! I hope it works out for you!

It is not recommended to house hamsters and chicks together as they have different care requirements and behaviors. Hamsters are nocturnal animals that may be stressed by the active and noisy nature of chicks. Additionally, they may pose a risk to each other in terms of territorial disputes or aggressive behavior. It's best to provide separate living spaces for hamsters and chicks.

It depends on the breed, age and health of the hamster. Dwarf hamsters can have up to 14 pups; Syrian hamsters can have up to 24. The average litter is usually 6-10.

Hamsters' diets are relatively same among breeds. Of course, you could just give them regular mouse/guinea pig/hamster food, but hamsters also like... * nuts (walnuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds) * vegetable (anything green and leafy, carrots, corn) Some types of hamster have evolved in the desert so giving them vegetables daily would not be good for them because of all that vegetabley water. * cereal * yogurt drops * hay * chocolate chips ;D

It is not recommended to bathe your hamster unless it is absolutely necessary, such as if they have soiled themselves or are visibly dirty. Bathing can strip the hamster's fur of natural oils and disrupt their skin's pH balance, leading to health issues. Hamsters are generally adept at grooming themselves and do not require regular baths.

A balanced diet for a hamster should include a mix of commercial hamster pellets, fresh fruits and vegetables (like carrots, cucumbers, and apples), and occasional treats like mealworms or nuts. It's important to avoid feeding them sugary or fatty foods, as well as toxic foods like chocolate, garlic, and onions. Make sure to provide fresh water at all times.
