Hamsters

A teddy bear hamster and black bear hamster are the exact same animal, both are given "fancy" names in pet stores but are properly called Syrian Hamsters. They, of course, can mate. This is a difficult process though and the female has to be monitored closely. When she's in heat (about every 3-4 days), she'll raise her tail when you run your hand down her back. At this point, she can be put into the male's cage or place them both in neutral territory (NEVER put the male in her cage, she will kill him). Once mated, separate them immediately. If she became pregnant, you'll see signs around her second week of pregnancy. She'll give birth about three-four weeks after mating.

Make sure you have homes for the babies BEFORE breeding! She can have up to 15! Most pet stores will NOT take babies from someone who isn't a breeder.

yes but watch them when they meet they might fight I am not an expert but I am pretty sure that they can if you have any more Q: about hamsters please contact me @ Samantha.loo1@yahoo.com

You should probably really clean it out really well first, so it is sanatized so it won't make your fish sick. Or you could buy a brand new aquarium so then you won't have to worry if you cleaned it good enough or not, so then your fish can live healthily.

No, teddy bear hamsters should not eat the wood of trees. It can be harmful to their digestive system and may cause choking or blockages. It's best to provide hamsters with safe, commercial hamster food and appropriate treats.

The best thing to do is make home-made toys:

A toilet paper/paper towel roll would be the best for hamsters because they can crawl in and out of it and chew on it to make bedding.Also you can make a hamster swing by doing the same thing but making it higher and you can watch your hamsters enjoy swinging back and forth in it.A cool way to do something is to make a maze with toilet paper/papertowel rolls and cardboard from cereal boxes or moving boxes and cut a hole that the roll will fit in and stick the roll in it until it goes to the middle of the cardboard and do this pattern until you run out and you can collect this and make a huge maze and put the treats at the end of the maze (makes the hamster go through it faster)

If you know how to make a bird feeder you should know how to do this:

Get an item that is nontoxic and can fit in the cage ( if you dont know of any items type in on google "home made items to make a hamster treat") then get some sticky food around it but not glue or probably not peanut butter you can get plainlow fat yogurt and get a spoon and put it all around the item then stick hamster food around it and get some thread and hang it at the top of the cage

Syrian hamsters are often recommended for children due to their larger size and tolerant nature. They are easy to handle and can bond well with their owners. Make sure your child understands the responsibility involved in caring for a pet hamster before getting one.

It may just decide to sleep on its back, or for some reason it may be uncomfortable or painful to sleep on its front. If it happens sometimes but not very often then it is probably fine, just see how it gos really.

Urine can tell a person what is wrong with them, or what is going on with their body. The same applies to animals, if a hamsters urine smells fishy, it maybe due to an increase of protein in their diet.

A hamster would likely not be able to stir ham as it is a small animal with limited strength and coordination. Thus, the amount of ham they could stir would likely be negligible.

Hamsters commonly do not have long memories. A typical hamster can only remember something for a few hours, although some would argue that hamsters can remember certain things their whole lives.

If your hamster's ear is swollen like a blister, it could be due to an infection or injury. It's important to take your hamster to a veterinarian who specializes in small animals to properly diagnose and treat the issue. Do not attempt to treat it at home as it may worsen the condition.

You could wash your hamsters but not in your hot tub or shower, cause that could be really dangerous for them. If you really think you should wash them then you could use a TINY bit of baby shampoo, and you would need to wash them in warm water. I would really recommend not to wash them because they get really stressed and COULD die. If you thought about it and really want to try it, use warm water, baby shampoo, and when you are finish you need to wrap them up quickly and carefully in a towel or sweater or you could just put them in a sock until they dry up... Some hamsters really enjoy playing in socks :)

Hamsters can enjoy treats like small pieces of apple, pear, carrot, cucumber, or broccoli in moderation. It's important to remove any uneaten portions after a few hours to prevent spoilage in their cage. Avoid giving them citrus fruits, onions, or seeds with pits.

Hamsters can have babies as early as 4-5 weeks of age, but it is recommended to wait until they are at least 3-4 months old to prevent health risks associated with early breeding. Additionally, female hamsters may become less fertile after 1 year of age. It's important to separate male and female hamsters once the female becomes pregnant to avoid stress or aggression.

The first thing you should do is stay calm everything will be okay.

1. get a tub of peanut butter and a bag of hamster food.

2. scoope the peanut butter with a spoon and put it in a screwable bottle cap. then take the the hamster food and sprenckle it on the peanut butter in every room.

3. at night you'll have to stay up(hamsters are nockternail) and try to listen for strange sounds. most important if you hear the sound coming from behind the stove,refridgeorator, washer,or dryer NEVER EVER move them because you could squash the hamster.

4. if you cant hear the sounds go a head and go asleep. in the morning when you wake up check the peanut butter things in each room if you notice food/peanut butter missing from one room you've narowed it down to just that one room. shut the door and start shakeing the hamster food bag and it might come out if it's hungry enogh.

5. if it doesn't it's okay. at night focace on that one room. if the sounds are coming from the wall and if you love your hamster you can have someone make a hole in the wall to get it.

we found my hamster in a jar in my bathroom

Male hamsters generally have larger testicles and a visible scent gland on their stomach, while females have a smaller distance between the anus and the urinary opening. Additionally, female hamsters have a vulva, which is not present in males. Behavioral differences can also be observed, such as males being more territorial and prone to fighting.

Your hamster could eat its babies and then again it might not. You do need to separate the male from the cage because he definitely will eat them. Make sure that you are feeding them the best food possible

While hamsters and guinea pigs have some dietary similarities, it is not recommended to feed hamsters guinea pig food. Guinea pig food is formulated specifically for the nutritional needs of guinea pigs and may not provide the right balance of nutrients for hamsters. It's best to stick to a diet specifically designed for hamsters.

The oldest recorded Russian Hamster lived to be around 4 years old. Hamsters typically have a lifespan of 2-3 years in captivity, so reaching 4 years is considered quite old for a hamster.

No, it is not necessary to clean a hamster's butt with a cloth. Hamsters are very clean animals and groom themselves regularly to maintain hygiene. However, if you notice any unusual discharge or signs of illness, it is best to consult a veterinarian for proper care.

Her belly would begin to get bigger and start to swell, she's going to be very territorial,she will start eating more food for the young ones in her belly, she will sleep alot , and she will put alot of bedding in the area of where she sleeps.

It depends on your lifestyle and preferences. Cats are independent and low-maintenance, dogs are loyal and great companions, and hamsters are small and easy to care for. Consider the time, space, and energy you have available before deciding which pet is best for you.

Take them to the vet- that is if your local vet accepts hamsters. There, they can either give them pain medication and make casts for the hamsters. They will next splint the leg. If the leg is severely broken may ask to remove the leg.And maybe kill them

The average number of pups in a hamster's litter is typically between 4 to 12, depending on the species and the age of the mother hamster. Syrian hamsters tend to have smaller litters compared to dwarf hamsters.

a hamster has 4 legs 2 main longer ones and 2 shorter ones he uses to eat

You need to find a good recipe for a basic cake. You can get one from a regular recipe book from your library. You also need to research the kinds of foods that a hamster can have and substitute those for what is in the recipe. You may also be able to but the cake in a pet store.
