Hamsters

To make your hamster wheel silent, you can try lubricating the wheel with a small amount of vegetable oil or pet-safe lubricant. You can also consider placing a small piece of cardboard or felt between the wheel and the stand to reduce friction and noise. Additionally, regularly cleaning and maintaining the wheel can help prevent excess noise.

It is unlikely for a dwarf hamster to gnaw off its own leg if it is broken. Instead, it may become immobile and require veterinary care to assess and treat the injury. If a hamster is in distress or suffering from a serious injury, prompt medical attention is recommended.

Yes that is big enough but you will need a lid so it doesnt escape

The name of a girl is a Doe and a baby is a kit.

This is not grass, it is seed from the food you feed your pet. You should clean the hampsters cage, if you have seed growing, the cage is MUCH too dirty. You need to clean the cage every week, or your pet can become sick. Not to mention the bad smell it must have.

Hamsters are not entirely colorblind, but they do have poor color vision. They primarily see in shades of grey and are more sensitive to brightness and movement. However, they can distinguish between some colors such as green and blue.

Lefse originated in Norway. It is a traditional flatbread made from potatoes, flour, butter, and milk or cream that is cooked on a griddle.

You can find blueprints for a hamster cage online on websites like Pinterest, Instructables, or by searching for DIY hamster cage plans on Google. There are also books available that provide detailed instructions for building your own hamster cage. Be sure to follow the guidelines for proper sizing, materials, and safety precautions for your hamster's well-being.

A hamster would make a great pet. There needs to be parental supervision. He will learn a lot.

hamster's are great!!! i had one myself!!!!

but if He wants one that he can handle more, you probably want a pet rat (female), they are VERY sweet, and they will sit on your shoulder all day!! :)

sorry, but i say no!!!!!!! if they escape and get lost od die, which happenes easy, he would be sooooo sad!! i have 6 year old twin brothers, and if a fish dies, they cry for a long time!!!!! plus, its hard to hold, who knows what their temper will be, and if the bedding is in the cage to long, it smells!! i have a hampster!! good luck!! - jona

i disagree with jona, i had a hamster myself that escaped quite often no matter how hard i tried to keep it contained and it still survived. it finally passed from old age. just make sure that he can be good with handling it and a lot of hamsters when are handled first may try to and likely succed at biting you. just give the hamster a few days to get used to him and all should go well. supervise that he feeds and handles correctly with the hamster. you might want to get the hamster a wheel as well for it to exercise and something to knaw its teeth on because (i know this sounds gross but its true!) their teeth will grow up into its brain and kill it. that's what the pet shop owner told me. hope this helps and good luck! -sj

i also dissagree with jona ive got two hamsters and there really cute but don't get dwarf hamsters ya sure they don't get wettail but they are really mean!-Jim

Sometimes. Generally, hamsters are wide awake at night. This means they search for food in the dark and quiet of night. While they are sleeping during the day, you don't usually hear much, except for maybe if they scratch around a little, because of te instinct to remain silent, so to not be detected. I have had three dwarf hamsters before, and I have never noticed any of them making much noise, except for the wheel in the cage.

hamsters can be given small amounts of milk as a treat, it's not often done because a hamster can easily tip a bowl of milk over, compromising the hygiene of its enclosure

it also sours quickly in warm conditions

there have also been cases of lactose intolerant hamsters becoming ill, but these are rare cases.

Male hamsters have large scent glands located on their hips that produce a musky odor. These glands play a role in marking territory and attracting mates. The enlarged rear end helps to accommodate these scent glands.

---- Well its quite symple really, firstly you need a boy and a girl of the same breed and then you put them in a cadge together ! let them play for about an hour a day then next time you visit the pet shop they will tell you if shes pregnant then weight 7 - 14 days and she'll have the baby it'll stay with your hamster for a wile but then move into a vacent cadge!

If your hamster's claws are overgrown, you can trim them carefully using pet nail clippers or seek help from a veterinarian or professional groomer experienced with small animals. Avoid cutting the quick, the pinkish area within the nail that contains nerves and blood vessels, as this can be painful and cause bleeding. Regularly provide a sand-covered surface in the cage for your hamster to naturally wear down its claws.

A hempster's gestation period is typically around 4-5 months.

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.
