Hamsters

Hamsters prefer a temperature range of 65-75°F (18-24°C). It is important to provide a consistent temperature in their environment to keep them healthy and comfortable. Make sure to avoid sudden temperature changes or exposure to drafts that can make them stressed or sick.

Yes, "garage" is a French word. It is commonly used in English and other languages to refer to a building or space used for parking vehicles or storing equipment.

In my experience, my son was born w/curly, kinky, brown/black hair. A couple of days later, his hair turned VERY strait and dark brown... from there, he went to lighter brown, then red, then strawberry blond, to BLOND. Now he is 14yrs old, and dirty blond, like his dad :) Go figure..lol

Yes, a 6-month-old baby can suffer serious injuries or even die if dropped when the mother falls. Babies' bodies are fragile and their heads are particularly vulnerable. It is essential to take precautions to ensure the safety of the baby, such as using carriers or keeping a secure hold on the baby while moving.

The cost of a golden hamster can vary depending on the breeder, age, and location, but generally ranges from $10 to $30. Additionally, there may be additional costs for supplies such as a cage, bedding, food, and toys.

Baby hamsters are born deaf, blind, and hairless. Not only do baby hamsters hump at their mother, but also at their siblings. Research has shown that this is just a territorial or a dominance trait of baby hamsters..

It is not possible for a female hamster to become pregnant without being in contact with a male. The symptoms you are observing may be due to other health issues that should be evaluated by a veterinarian. It's important to seek professional advice to ensure the hamster's well-being.

Yes. If not intergrated with other hamsters (including even averaged sized hamsters) at an early age, they do become defensive and territorial. This can go as well with an average hamster. But remember, this may vary from animal to animal.

it either starts to look skinny, or seems to be scavenging for food.

But either way, hamsters LOVE food, hungry or not if u hold out your palm it will most likely eat, or it is still full

The price of a hamster at PetSmart can vary depending on the location and the type of hamster. On average, hamsters typically cost between $5 to $20 at PetSmart. Additionally, there may be additional costs for supplies such as a cage, food, and bedding.

It is recommended to thoroughly clean and disinfect the cage after a hamster dies before using it for another pet. This helps prevent the spread of any potential diseases and ensures a fresh environment for the new pet.

Nibbling is a term that refers to grazing or eating small amounts of food frequently throughout the day, rather than having set meal times. It can be a way of managing hunger and maintaining energy levels.

It is generally not recommended to walk a hamster on a harness outdoors. Hamsters are small, sensitive animals that can easily get scared or injured outside their familiar environment. It's safer to provide a secure and enriching indoor habitat for your hamster to explore.

If you dont play with your hamster it will quickly get very lonely and therefore more vicious. If you have one hamster it will get more lonely as at least with two, they have eachother. You must play with your hamster i you want it to lead a happy normal life. I guess giving it treats or letting run around your room is better that not playing with it at all because at least then it gets some freedom and a different scenery. But playing with your hamster is always better!

A hamster can generate a small amount of energy through activities like running on a wheel or moving around its habitat. However, the energy output of a hamster is minimal compared to larger animals or machines.

== == Even these little creatures have their own individual personalities and some hamsters loved to be handled or run up and down their owner while others don't. When hibernation time comes they may get a little moody and just want to rest. You need to pick up a book at a pet store or go on the Internet to learn more about Hamster's habits. It may take patience and not too much handling right off the bat so your hamster can get use to you. Many people are afraid of hamsters because you simply do not know if they are going to bite, or wriggle away, before handling him/her, wash your hands with soap and warm water to get rid of food smells. Hamsters eyesight is extremely poor, so they use their nose to find food, so if your hand smells like food they are likely to bite it. If you are frightened just take a deep breath. Then place your hand inside their cage and gently cup your hands around him/her. Lift them out of their cage, corner of a part of a room with boxes, or items that your hamster will not be able to climb over, and make sure this space is big enough for you and your hamster. Sit inside the space and let go of the hamster, and every now and then pick him/her up,like you did when you got him/her out of the cage, and bring them back near to you. This way they do not run off, and they get used to your handling to them. Lay little treats out in this space too so they can eat, and feed them little treats too so they know you do not want to harm them, but you want to care for them. I know this may sound silly, but talk to them too, don't shout, just use a soft,calm voice, and they will soon get used to your voice, which will make them more comfortable around you. Do this as much as you can, the more you do it, the more they will get used to you. However, do not wake them up to handle them because they will then get grumpy, and they are then more prone to bite you.

Hamsters generally give birth to 6-8 pups, though they can have more.

you get a peice of food and put it on the ground your hamster will sniff it and go right to you11works like a charm!!

If your hamster is in a room and the door was closed when it got loose, just stay perfectly still. Try to listen for scratching sounds. If not, scratch any dresser or deks type thing and listen. If you hear it, look EVERYWHERE you hear it. In droors, behind droors. Basically behind, in, or under anything you can think of that's nearby

By hamsterluver224:

Yes, I also think the old bucket trick works too. You put up a plank or something and a bucket baited with yummy food. Your hamster will walk up the ramp and fall into the bucket. Start looking in common hamster hiding places, like under droors, under beds, in bookcases, etc. My hamsters usually hide there. If you cannot find it there, look in unusual places like in blankets, in shoes, and in wrapping paper tubes. Or, you can leave its cage door poen with a trail of sunflower seeds leading to the cage and it will fall asleep in its cage by the next morning. Or, if you have more than one hammy, put a new nesting box in the cage and put the old one outside its cage with bedding. Or, you can buy harmless trap hotels for mice and bait it with treats.

Good Luck!

oh whats above `might work but make shure you put your hamster cage on the ground AND PUT WATER IN IT!

I'm not sure but i believe dwarf hamsters but most dwarf hamsters are mean i prefer teddy bear hamsters (but they only last about 2 years) there really nice thought

NO My hamster is not a rat he is a hamster... he doesn't even have a rat tail and anyway did you know hamsters arn't related to the rat they are more related to the ground hog and praire dog more then anything!

The wheel continues on forever, it never ends.

This in Algebra, is called a fractal: a pattern that endlessly repeats.

[BTW: Every fractal has an equation to find that certain pattern to the Nth time]

It is unlikely for a spider to bite a hamster as they are usually kept indoors in enclosed cages. Additionally, most spiders are not aggressive towards animals larger than themselves. If a spider were to bite a hamster, it may cause irritation or a small puncture wound.

never ever put syrian or dwarf hamsters cannot be put together because they fight but boys and girls do not (but they have babies obviously!) they fight and it can lead to death!!! :(so dont do it!!!

Edit: Actually, male and female hamsters will also fight in between mating and the male will eat the babies or stress out the mother so much that she will eat them.

Hamsters are solitary creatures by nature and so it is best to keep them apart once they aren't babies anymore.

If the guinea pig is squealing when you touch a certain place

Also, if it doesn't eat as much as it usually does, is kind of hunched over in a corner, if its hair is puffed or if it isn't as active anymore.
