Hamsters

No, placing a hamster under a heat lamp can be dangerous as it can cause overheating and potentially lead to heat stroke. Hamsters are sensitive to temperature changes, so it's best to provide them with a warm, cozy environment with appropriate bedding and a temperature-regulated habitat.

Yes they land anywhere and carry that with them. Also flies throw up everytime they land.

Yes, hamsters can eat kiwi in small amounts as an occasional treat. Kiwi is rich in vitamins and fiber, but it should be given in moderation to prevent digestive issues. Make sure to remove the skin and seeds before offering it to your hamster.

Increasing fiber in your hamster's diet by offering hay, fresh vegetables, and limited fruit can help relieve constipation. Ensure your hamster has access to fresh water at all times. You can also provide a small amount of olive oil or canned pumpkin to help with constipation. However, if the problem persists, it's best to consult with a vet for proper diagnosis and treatment.

if you belive he wont die, he wont. but if you lose hope and belive itll die, yes it will die!

once my hamster threw up blood and was dying, but i belived that he could survive and i kept telling him that its ok youll be better...days past and i kept telling myself that hell get better and kept praying and after a week he was better than ever!

In Hamsterz 2 for the DS, you can have multiple hamsters in the same cage, but they must be compatible. It's essential to monitor their interactions to ensure they get along and don't fight. If they don't, you may need to separate them into different cages.

Yes, I use regular paper that has been shredded, junk mail and even envelopes. Just make sure that no plastic ever gets shredded or things like paperclips or staples this may harm the hamster. Plus, the shredded paper is cheap and eco-friendly. My hamster seems to love it because I can give him a whole lot of it and he goes nuts with it ;)

Hold your hamster on its back to look at the belly area. You can cup your hand over your hamster and gently turn it over onto its back, or hold the hamster by the scruff. Holding the hamster in a slightly upright ("sitting up") position will help you determine if testicles are present. The surest way to tell is by looking at the anogenital distance. This is the distance between the genital openings (penile opening in the male, vaginal and urinary openings in the female) and the anus. This distance is much shorter in females than males (in fact the openings can be difficult to distinguish in females while they are separated by about half an inch in males). The back end of the male tends to be elongated and rounder in appearance in comparison to the female (especially noticeable in Chinese hamsters). Males often have a noticeable scrotum with testicles after about 4 weeks of age, although the testicles can be retracted. Only females have nipples

nothing your hamster is young and just loves to chew things try buying wood blocks and hamster toys for it to chew on and she should stop if not dont worry its not hurting her =] nothing your hamster is young and just loves to chew things try buying wood blocks and hamster toys for it to chew on and she should stop if not dont worry its not hurting her =] dont worry my hammies do that too they love chewing stuff my hamster just had babies and i cant touch them:(

A hamster water bottle should be positioned low enough for the hamster to easily reach the spout with their mouth, but high enough to prevent bedding or debris from getting into the bottle. Placing it at the mid-level of the cage is a good starting point, and you can adjust it based on your hamster's size and habits.

You may be able to find human hamster balls or water walkerz for under $300 on websites like eBay, Amazon, or at local classifieds like Craigslist. Additionally, you could check out outdoor recreation stores or toy stores that sell inflatable toys.

No because hamsters clean theirselves. They lick themselfs and kick off the dirt off their fur well... if you put the smallest amount of water in a sink, they wont like it but they will be ok! but just put a tiny,tiny bit of water... so it covers half of your fingernail

"Feces" means bodily waste discharged from the intestine, so hamster feces means the droppings or turds in the bottom of the cage. Feces a word that ends in "s" and there is no such word as "fece".

Girl hamsters are territorial and also protective of their young so they will fight other hamsters. Most hamsters (excluding dwarves) prefer to live alone and may fight if caged with another hamster.

It can be a long process and you need patience and understanding. The hamster is biting most likely because it is afraid and feels threatened. First of all, talk to him through the bars, let him get used to the sound of your voice without fear that he is going to be grabbed. You may notice him come closer to you to listen.

After a few days, try feeding him treats through the bars, always talking to him. hopefully you will notice him become more relaxed.

The next step is to place your hand in the cage. Don't try to touch him or pick him up just yet. he has to learn to trust you, placing treats in your hand can help. Let him sniff and climb on you. You can then try to handle him.

Remember that any sudden movements can startle him into nipping you. Let him know you are there by talking to him, and letting him smell your hand before you try to pick him up. Move slowly and try not to grasp him from above. To him, your hand will look like a bird sweeping down on him, and he will instinctively be afraid. Try gently scooping up.

As said, the secret is gentleness, patience and understanding. Good luck! x

Hamsters don't actually purr like cats. If you hear a sound resembling purring, it could indicate respiratory issues, stress, or discomfort in the hamster. It's best to observe the hamster closely and consult a veterinarian if you notice any concerning symptoms.

1.The people at the pet store don't know crap. they told me i was getting 2 boys but i got a girl and a boy and i had 3 babys soon! its called Wet tail. its very rare for your hamster to surrvive this. im sorry. there is nothing you can do to help it. just separate it from other hamsters and pray for him/her!

A hamster usually won't eat her babies unless if it is ill and/or dying. The mother may also eat her baby if anyone has touched it. If you touch a baby the mother will smell an un-natural scent and the first thing she'll think is 'danger'. A hamster.. in this case.. will either abandon the baby or eat it to keep her other babies safe.

If you have a pregnant hamster; DO NOT pick up the babies when they are born (even though its hard to resist). It'd probably be best if you left the mother and her babies alone for a while. When you clean the cage, work around the mom. You don't want to disturb or distress her in any way.

Well, not really, they do become mature. Females go into heat every 2 or 3 days, and males can be bred as long as they are mature. My hamster was killed recently.

I wouldn't say yes because you could lose him/her on the leash.

i say you can get him/her a leash, but beware, he/she mite not like it!

Signs your hamster doesn't want a leash:

-eating leash

-acting odd

-not moving when leash is on

-not eating/drinking

but, it's your choice if you want to buy him/her a leash.

leash tips:

-don't drag hamster

-buy a good sturdy leash

-keep your eyes on him/her at all times

It would be 150 years old in human years because a hamsters years goes by 25's but a hamster is VERY lucky if it lives that long.

Slowly get your hamster use to your smell. Put your hand in her cage with a treat and wait, just let her take it. Do that everyday. After 2 days try picking her up. Put her in your lap and let her explore for about 10 minutes. Then put her back in her cage. Do that everyday gradually lengthening the time she spends in your lap until she is comfortable with you. Then bring in another person and repeat.

if you put 2 hamsters in the same cage together if you have a female and a male the female will EAT THE MALE that's why you should never put that breed together always have 2 male hamsters or 1 female or 1 male never together if you really want one of each put them in sepret cages no where in sight of each other bcuz if there on a table they will push and push until they fall OFF of the table or any thing that there on and some how open the cage to eat each of another tip is if anyone has 1 male and 1 female and they have babies keep them in sepert cages now might want to take my tips unless you want dead hamsters or guinea pigs.
