Hamsters

A hamster is old when they're about 2 years old

You can tell when they're old if you don't know their age because young hamsters run about a lot but old hamsters only run a bit

When I had a hamster, when it was old it was completely still for a few minitues. This is because he was tired.

You shold fill it's bowl up and put more food in once it's empty which takes about a week for me, the length of time may be differant depending on bowl size and what you are feeding it but standard hamster food is the best thing with some veg.

Dwarf hamsters may squeal when they are scared, in pain, or stressed. It could be a response to being handled roughly or being in an uncomfortable environment. It's important to provide a safe and calm environment for your hamster to minimize stress and prevent unnecessary squealing.

If they are Syrian (aka teddybear, golden and many other names) ABSOLUTELY YES!!! They will not fight until they are about 2 weeks old though if they have been growning up together. All Syrian hamsters do except for during their mating season. You have to keep them separate because they will fight to the death. They are very territorial. Dwarf species do not usually fight.

well if you are interested in breeding hamsters.

I herd that you should leave a boy hamster in the cage with the girl hamster for 2 week then take him out then she should have them in 30 days or less.

Bleeding from the rectum can be caused by a variety of health issues in hamsters, such as rectal injuries, tumors, or gastrointestinal problems. It is important to consult a veterinarian to determine the exact cause of the bleeding and provide appropriate treatment.

Well bud the same thing is happening to my hamster.... And sad to say... If you have had him for a couple of years... These my be his last hours... Make them pleasurable... But if not... He may just be sick... Take him to a vet and see what they say

well if you are outside and watch your hamster and don't lose it then you are good to go. When they are wondering about in the grass, make sure they don't eat anything unusual, but clover is fine. Don't let the wonder anywhere that is contaminated.

Hi Call me Bubbles, Its a basic fact that a Hampster will divhour a banana in a mintue, and it can also lose a stone of weight in a day! But back to the importants of a hampster and its banana, These little furry guys LOVE banana. Remember kids, Never touch a hampsters banana. Its basic fisics

No, it is not necessary to cut a teddy bear hamster's hair. Their fur will naturally shed and groom itself through normal activities. If you notice any mats or tangles in their fur, gently combing it out with a soft brush should suffice.

It usually costs around 10-12 dollars but it usually depends on the age and the type of breed. Also take into consideration where the hamster is bought. You may want to look at the atmosphere and surroundings of where you buy your new furry friend.

Hi ,

A guinea pig's price is always depending on the kind of guinea pig you are buying and where you buy it. But if you are planning on buying a guinea pig at a pet store like , PetSmart, if you had about 35$ you should be able to buy one considering their prices are usually in the late 20's (without tax) for guinea pig's.

But if you buy a guinea pig from a person selling them it could be any price.

Well you can try to find a way to scold your hamster. When you let it out of the cage and it runs away, scold it. If it doesn't run away praise it. You should do this everyday until it learns.

I don't think because i make a lot of noises when my fancy hamster is sleeping and all he does is satnd his head up with his eyes close i think they need to get used to it or they are if you got him from a pet store so it is ok.

Generally speaking, no. Russian (dwarf) hamsters are more apt to bite, because they are smaller and easier to frighten. However, it depends more on how and how often the hamsters are handled then on the breed. Gently handle your hamsters starting with a couple of minutes a day and building up over time (do not handle them for a few days after initially bringing them home, they need time to adapt to their new home).

After 4 days of being with the male rub her back firmly, If she stands still with her tail in the air she is not, If she does not keep trying for a few days. Also if she starts to fight with the male and shows no interest she probably is.

Maybe she has a cold or the flu (influenza) it is quite common in mice, seek advice from your vet on ways to treat her, but try to keep her warm, maybe a blanket over the cage at nights and keep her away from drafts....

Well first of all there should not be mold in a hamsters cage. Try taking your hamster out of the cage and keep her/him in something else for a while. Scrub his/her cage really well, get hamster "cage clean" to get the stink out. Your hamster should be fine.

It is possible for a male hamster to help build a nest for a pregnant female, but it is not a guarantee. Female hamsters are typically independent in preparing their nests for their offspring. It is important to provide your pregnant hamster with nesting materials and a quiet, safe environment to give birth.

Leaving aside for the moment of exactly what you were doing with your tongue that would place it at risk of being bitten by a hamster...

It's going to hurt a lot, and it's probably going to bleed a bit too. It could potentially become infected. You should probably see a doctor... be sure you tell him what happened, because even doctors need a laugh now and again.

Our hamster has started biting also after almost 2 weeks of perfect behavior. My 6 year old is in tears. But I think it may be hormonal. She (the hamster) is probably going through puberty and from what I have read they can have false pregnancies that last for 10 -15 days. What I am wondering is since they are fertile every 10 days and can have false pregnancies that last about that long also, when will she ever be sweet again? Can somebody shed some light on this problem?

No. Sorry, but Baytril (enrofloxacin) is an antibiotic and won't have any action against Aspergillus (a fungus).

If the hamster is showing symptoms and the fungus is the cause, it is probably too late already.

But you would need a veterianry assessment to be sure of what you are dealing with.

Prevention is the key -- avoiding high humidity in the cage environment. Often related to excessive urine buildup or spoiled food in the cage / tunnels.

All hamsters bite, but luckily teddybear hamsters... not as much. there more luvable and you can be a bit more rough with them unlike other hamsters! Dont push him-or-her though if lack of handle they will bite hard!! hope i helped:)

Not all Teddy Bear Hamsters have red eyes. Most have black eyes, grow to be about five inches long, and will bite if not cared for gently. Teddy Bear Hamsters have a light brown or gold coat, and prefer to live alone.

Hamsters can make a variety of noises including squeaking, chirping, hissing, and even some soft vocalizations. Their vocalizations can indicate different emotions, such as excitement, fear, or contentment. It's important to pay attention to these sounds as they can give you clues about your hamster's well-being.
