hamsterluver224's answer

When the time is right, in mating season and when your hamster is mature, or old enough

to mate, then they will. Place the Male in the female's cage. If the female injures the male, try again later, she is not ready. Female hamsters will kill males. If the female accepts the male, he goes over to investigate. The breeding will begin when the female makes a position called Lordosis. She stays perfectly still and raises her tail. Even experienced males have trouble if the female's tail gets in the way, etc. Eventually, the male will mount the female, breed, and dismount. This may have to happen several times for it to work. You cannot mate dwarfs with syrians or dwarfs with other dwarf species. (Ex. robo and campbell's russian)

Hope this helps---

How could you feel your hamster without you getting biten?

You have to train your hanster to get used to you. Hamsters bite your two reasons, firstly because they are scared and secondly because they think that your fingers might be good to eat. First, it is a good idea to hold food in your fingertips, and let the hamster take the fod from your fingers. After a few days of this, you can move onto touching your hamster gently. The hamster still may try to eat your fingers, if so just move away your hand quickly. When your hanster gets more used to you touching it, you can start letting it crawl onto your hand. Place food into the middle of your hand and let the hamster crawl on by itself. If the hamster still tries to eat your hand (quite common) you can place a towel over your hand so if the hamster bites, you will not get hurt. After this, you can start trying to pick up your hamster in your fingers. This will distress the hamster the most so firstly, pick it up for just a little then out down. Gradually extend the holding time and reward the hamster with a treet after each trial. Hamsters require a lot of careful handling and patience. This process takes maybe a month. Good luck.

Can hamsters sleep with a blanket?

Some bunnies do sleep with blankets.

Beware of the dangers though: Bunnies can nibble holes in blankets and get their feet stuck in the holes. When a bunny gets trapped they can panic, causing injury and death! Another risk is that the bunny could eat some of the blanket, which could lead to serious illness, and even death (GI stasis). So, you have to consider the risks!

As cute as a bunny with a blanket may seem it is probably not worth the risk, and the bunny would most likely prefer a nice bed of hay anyway! Other safe things your bunny can sleep on are grass mats (untreated, completely natural), and cardboard (plain cardboard, unbleached, minimal colours, no glossy bits, no tape or staples).

If your rabbit has a blanket, you should check it every day for signs of nibbling and if you ever see any, take it away.
