Hamsters

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 Weak or injured hamsters/rats/mice are usually withdrawn and will be picked on by their peers, sometimes to the point of death.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.

You shouldn't leave them in the ball for to long as their feet will start to hurt them. ! :)

I leave mine in for 5mins in the morning 15min at dinner and 5mins at night...

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

They are rodents, and therefore belong to the same Order of mammals, but they have their own separate families, one is in the hamster and vole family, the other in the 'True' Rat/Mouse family. The Order Rodentia contains many families besides hamsters and rats, like are mice, squirrels, capybaras, gerbils, guinea pigs, rabbits, chipmunks, groundhogs, beavers, jerboas, porcupines, chinchillas, etc. There are over 4000 types of rodents.

My hamster had his birthday three months ago. I made a birthday party with my sisters and Madison (my sister's friend). We had cheese crackers, muffins, a little show, and a few games. It was awesome! Midnight had a great time to!

well...teddy bear hamsters usually eat food pellets..but they are very picky with their foods so stick with seeds,pellets,broccolii,carrots and absolutly NO CHOCOLATE!!!!!they will get very ill if u feed them chocolate or any other sweets.

Hamsters do not have good eyesight they depend on their sense of smell. so hamsters having long whiskers help them know were they are going and what they are doing its like anoth pair of eyes for them.

Hamsters typically go poop multiple times per day, as they have fast digestive systems. The frequency can vary depending on factors such as diet and stress levels. It's important to monitor their bathroom habits to ensure they are maintaining regularity.

It's generally not recommended to house different types of animals in the same cage with guinea pigs, as they may stress each other out or can be a danger to each other. Guinea pigs are social animals and do best when housed with other guinea pigs. If you want to have different types of animals together, it's best to provide separate cages for each species to ensure their well-being.

NO guinea pigs should not be housed with any other animals except for their own kind. It would most likely end in one (most likely the guinea pig since they are more docile) being seriously injured or killed.

Goddesskieryn: The two animals have seriously different habitat and food needs. While the guinea pig needs extra vitamin C in its diet, that much sugar would be bad for the rats. Not to mention that guinea pigs have rather bad eye sight, and rats being very good climbers need many levels in their cages. Guinea pigs living with multiple levels and bad eyesight equals a falling piggy. If they fall from say a third level they could be seriously injured. Also guinea pigs need long open spaces to run and play, i believe the rule of thumb is something like 7.5ft of space for up to 2 pigs.

Yes, some flowers are safe for hamsters to eat in moderation, such as pansies, roses, and dandelions. However, it's essential to ensure the flowers are free from pesticides and other chemicals before offering them to your hamster. Always introduce new foods slowly to monitor for any potential allergies or digestive issues.

Teddy bear hamsters are generally tamer and more sociable compared to black bear hamsters. They are known for their calm and docile personalities, making them easier to handle and interact with. However, individual hamsters' temperaments may vary, so it's important to handle them regularly to build trust and socialization.

if the hamster has long har all over the body quite (scruffy looking) then its proberly a russan hamster or if its a small long haired its a russan dwaf if it has short har quite normal sized then its a syririan hamster if its got shortish har (not very long) then its a average chinesse dwaf hamster if its not any of these then i could be a roboroviski dwaf hamster these are quite speedy hard to handle then its one of them hamsters come in differant sizes breed and color my guess if its a syrian hamster if you are not satisfied with this awnser then check the web site at pets at home look at the small pets part and at the left hand side and click pets at store

Excuse me for writing this on this. You do have an awesome point(whoever wrote this) but I am guessing the hamster is a Teddy Bear Hamster. This is just a guess but I think it is correct!

Some common hamster breeds include Syrian (golden), Dwarf (Roborovski, Campbell's, Winter White), and Chinese hamsters. Each has its own unique characteristics in terms of size, behavior, and care requirements.
