Hamsters

Yes, a very young female hamster could get hurt if a male hamster is trying to mate with her. It is not recommended to allow hamsters to breed at such a young age as it can be dangerous for their health and well-being. It is best to separate them to prevent any injuries or unwanted pregnancies.

If your hamster is dragging both her feet, it is essential to take her to a vet immediately. This behavior could indicate severe pain or complications from the broken leg that require urgent attention and treatment. Delaying medical care can worsen the situation for your hamster.

my hamster is hiding in our air vents. I know because it smells like an old hamster cage. My question is how do I get it out?? Our last hamster died in there and it smelled almost as bad. (ps: if you have a 3 year old, don't get a hamster!) One way to get a hamster out is to look for a ceiling vent in your basement. If you have floor vents in your first floor, then the ceiling vent will be on the same level. Once you find a ceiling vent, find where hammy is hiding. Listen for little footsteps in the air vents. When you think he's near the ceiling vent, stuck hamster tubes up inside of it. Hammy won't be able to resist crawling in his hamster tubes! That's how i got my hamster out of the air vents. - ya u totally copied that from the hamster hideout forum...

teddy bear hamsters are 6 to 7 inches (15 to 17cm) in length.

I think that your cat would be licking its paws, chops, and maybe even acting bit strange. It would maybe poop the dead hampster out or have side effects! Yuck

The cost of a teddy bear hamster can vary depending on where you purchase it, but generally they can range from $10 to $20. Keep in mind that there may be additional costs for supplies like cages, food, and bedding.

Sometimes guinea pigs lose the use of their back legs. This is somewhat common and is not a sign of injury. If the guinea pig is dragging itself around, administer a dose of liquid calcium. This seems to solve the problem.

Hamster balls are safe but you just want to make sure that your hamster doesn't go down any stairs or get stuck behind anything. Your hamster can only be in a hamster ball for about 10-20 minutes otherwise your hamster may get hungry or thirsty just like you if play sports. You need a brake for water don't you? Well that's the same thing with hamsters. :)

yes perfectly safe. they love the freedom to explore, but you might not get them out of the ball again as they love it too much

Make sure you have something Blocking Stairways and Places where he can get stuck (ie; under beds, Laundry rooms, Closets,)

When a hamster bites its cage door, it could be due to boredom, stress, a lack of space, or a desire to explore beyond its enclosure. It may also be a sign that the hamster's teeth need trimming, or it could simply be a natural behavior for some hamsters. Providing enrichment activities, ensuring adequate space and exercise opportunities, and monitoring the hamster's dental health can help address this behavior.

Well, in the summer my hamster had babies. When I got her she wasn't pregnant. Like a day later she was pregnant. I would say about two - three weeks... I think.

No, Russian Dwarf Hamsters and Winter White Dwarf Hamsters are different species and cannot successfully mate. Even if they were able to reproduce, the offspring may not be healthy due to genetic differences between the two species. It is recommended to keep hamsters of the same species together for breeding.

Hamsters may chew on their paws due to stress, boredom, or skin irritation. Make sure your hamster has enough enrichment, such as toys and tunnels, and a clean environment. If the behavior persists, consult a veterinarian to rule out any underlying health issues.

No- no hamsters can't take baths because they hate water and it makes them very ill and they die!
Hamsters groom themselves and so don't need to be washed so baths won't be necessary anyway.
If they are smelly from 'someone' not cleaning their cage they can use Chinchilla dust bath, available at most pet stores.

A red nose in hamsters can sometimes indicate an underlying health issue such as an infection, injury, or skin irritation. It is best to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause and appropriate treatment for your hamster.

It is not recommended to house a male and female hamster together in the same cage, as they can breed quickly and produce unwanted litters. It is best to keep them separated to prevent any potential aggression or mating behavior.

Yes, it is possible for hamsters to be stillborn. Factors such as genetics, maternal health, and environmental conditions can contribute to stillbirth in hamsters, just like in other animals. If a hamster gives birth to stillborn offspring, it is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the cause.

Hamsters might bite, because of medical problems. If your hamster does bite regularly make appointments with a vet. If the vet says your hamster is fine then you cannot stop it from biting.you should take the end of a pencial and start sroking it so it gets used to being touched and it wont bite you

can it move?

if it can move its back is probably not broken i would recomend taking it to you local vet they will tell you what is wrong with it.

be very carefull picking it up as if there is something wrong you might hurt or further injer it. try to get a vet to visit you if you are worried about hurting it. the vet will know how to pick it up without hurting it.

Try not to wake your hamster up too much. You don't want it to be tired all of the time. If I tried to wake my hamster up, she would bite me, so I would get a treat for her (carrots, nuts, ect.) and put in front of her nose. Then she would be too busy happily eating to bite me!

Hamsters are induced ovulators, meaning they do not have regular ovulation cycles like humans. Instead, ovulation in hamsters is triggered by mating or physical interaction with a male hamster. This allows them to remain fertile and reproduce throughout their breeding season.

Hamsters show affection by grooming themselves and others, cuddling with their companions, and squeaking with delight when interacting with their human caretakers. They may also nibble gently as a sign of affection.

You know when to breed hamsters when the female is in a distant space of the male and the male begins to show signals such as- commonly approaching the female or feeding or sleeping near her. If the female avoids the male like- the male approaches her to feed himself and the female turns away suddenly, you are being shown that the female is not comfortable with the male or having a pleasant time with the male. The worst case sanarrio is the two hamsters fighting with eachother.

DO NOT PUT THE MALE AND FEMALE TOGETHER IF THE FEMALE SUDDENLY TRIES TO FLEE BACK TO THE ORIGINAL CAGE! This is a sighn of discouragement.

As soon as the two opposite hamsters are finally sleeping side by side, this meens that they are ready to have.... sorry about this....SEX! and hav babies.

Dwarf hamsters are pregnant for about 18-22 days before giving birth. It's important to provide them with a comfortable and stress-free environment during this time to ensure the health of both the mother and the babies.

Yes, Chinese hamsters are nocturnal and tend to be more active during the night. They may appear to sleep a lot during the day to conserve energy for their active nights. It's important to provide them with a quiet and dark environment during the day to ensure they get the rest they need.
