Hamsters

You can try switching to a paper-based bedding that is less likely to stick to your hamster's fur. You can also groom your hamster regularly to remove any bedding that may be stuck. Make sure the bedding is not too dusty, as this can also stick to your hamster's fur.

However, if there is severe pain when you touch the foot, or it has not improved after 24 hours you should take him/her to the vet, who may wish to x-ray.

Please DO NOT attempt to clip a hamster's teeth yourself.

A lot of people bring their hamster to the vet to have their teeth clipped and the majority of the time, the teeth do not need clipping. Hamsters have longer teeth than owners expect, because they are rodents.

Even a vet would not attempt to clip the teeth if they do not need clipping, because each time they are clipped there is a risk of fracturing the teeth right down into the skull, which means the hamster will no longer eat because they are in great pain, and could lead to infection.

It is likely that if you took your hamster to the vet to get their teeth checked, and they did not need clipping, the vet wouldn't charge you for their time.

If your hamsters teeth are too long buy them something hard to bite from the pet shop example wood.

IF you add more fresh veggies, do it in very small bits, like the amount you can pinch between your finger and thumb. You could do the same with some scrambled eggs, this is adding protein and some healthy fat.

Rubbing oil into his coat, he will lick it off and ingest some of it, so I dont reco
