Hamsters

Hamsters defend them selves by trying to scare you like scratching but when you grab a hamster they nibble on your hand but just for a while to taste your hand then it stops and you have total control over it and hamsters will bite you when they really need to.

The answer below should be that they will all be black: the last portion is right (3 homo. black to 1 het. black) but all the mice will have black coats.

3 black to 1 white, ......B equals black, w equals white, 3homozygous black to 1 heterozygous black.

When a hamster puts its ears up, it is usually a sign that they are alert or inquisitive about their surroundings. This behavior allows them to better listen and determine if there are any potential threats or interesting things nearby.

Typically, it is not common to lose multiple teeth in a single day under normal circumstances. In cases of traumatic accidents, it is possible to lose multiple teeth, but this is rare and usually requires immediate dental intervention. Regular tooth loss from natural causes or decay generally occurs over a longer period of time.

A happy hamster sits in the corner of his cage nibbling away at food, or runs around his play wheel. A scared hamster will not be eating and makes furtive movemnts of the body while looking around ina panicked way. A sad hamster - sorry can't answer this one.

A sad hamster sits and uh uh uh nvm

Introduce them slowly in a neutral territory to allow them to get familiar with each other's scent. Ensure the cage is large enough to accommodate both hamsters and provide multiple hideouts and resources to avoid competition. Supervise their interactions and be prepared to separate them if any signs of aggression occur.

If it is like that, cold and not breathing, yes, it is dead.

If your hamster fell from your shoulder, carefully pick it up and make sure it is not injured. Keep an eye on it for any signs of distress or injury, and consider consulting a veterinarian if you notice anything concerning. In the future, be cautious when handling your hamster to prevent accidents like this from happening again.

I am an AI, so I don't have personal desires or a job to get. As for buying a new cage for your hamster, that decision is up to you! Make sure to choose a cage that is spacious, safe, and enriching for your furry friend.

I am buying a hamster and the totaled expenses[even with discounts and such] has summed up to be 126.08$. This is only in Florida though because the tax rate is different and i have included it in the total.

Hamsters sell for $4-$11. If it is higher, you are getting ripped off, but this is only for HAMSTERS. For dwarf hamsters are gerbils or mice it ranges from $6-$40.

Get a large cage for hamster and make sure the wheel inside is large for hamsters other wise it might damage the hamsters back. Wheels should be full plastic because sometimes hamsters can slip through the wire wheels and get caught.

For dwarf hamsters, I don't suggest getting tubes that go straight upwards because the dwarf will not be able to climb the tube because it{hamster] is so small.

For mice and gerbils, you must not place them in direct sunlight, and try not to get cages with wires because they can escape the standard wire cages easily.

They probably could if they wanted but I'm pretty sure that their not supposed to. They can eat plain biscuits though used to give my hamster them but they cant eat them too much one or two a week is reasonable.

The gestational period for a hamster is typically around 16-18 days. During this time, the female hamster will prepare a nest for her pups and give birth to a litter usually ranging from 4 to 12 babies. The mother hamster will be very attentive to her newborns and will care for them until they are ready to be independent.

Signs of a pregnant teddy bear hamster may include weight gain, increased appetite, nest-building behavior, and visible nipples. Teddy bear hamsters are pregnant for approximately 16-18 days before giving birth to a litter of pups.

It's important to take your hamster to a vet as soon as possible for proper evaluation and treatment. Hamsters can recover from a dislocated shoulder with appropriate care and medication, so early intervention is crucial for its well-being. With prompt medical attention, chances of recovery are good.

It is possible that the mom dwarf hamster may exhibit aggressive behavior towards the dad if she feels threatened while protecting her babies. It is recommended to separate the parents once the babies are born to avoid any potential conflicts.

It is a really easy responsibility. It doesn't always need to be played with and you just need to feed it and give it water once a week. every 1-2 weeks you should clean it's cage. It will start to smell. Hamsters can have a lot of fun with you and by themselves. To exercise put them in a ball and they will run around. It is a lot of fun and loves to crawl around. don't think of it like a mouse or rat. Its a small animal with no long tail. Its usually only about a centimeter long. They usually cost from $5-12. The expensive part is the cage. But after you buy the cage the rest is easy. I recommend not to get a plastic cage.

Your hamster may be trying to get your attention or may simply be trying to explore or mark its territory. However, if the scratching is excessive or accompanied by other symptoms like hair loss, it could indicate skin irritation or parasites, and you should consult a vet.

Syrian hamsters are the largest if you buy a baby Syrian hamster it will be tiny but when it is fully grown it will be huge. long haired Syrian hamsters are sometimes called teddy bear hamsters because they are so much like a teddy bear

There could be several reasons why your hamster is not running in its ball. It may be scared, anxious, or simply not interested. Try placing some treats in the ball to entice your hamster, or provide a more comfortable and familiar environment for it to explore. Make sure the ball is the appropriate size for your hamster and that it is not feeling unwell.

I gave them time and proved them wrong. Also one of the things they had a problem with was me not having enough room so simply did the measurement and told them there was. Prove to them how responsible you are/can be. Research hamsters and get a lot of pros and cons about them. Let your parents know that you can handle all the "cons" that hamsters have. Whatever you do don't fight with them and don't beg,both of these will lower your chances!! You can also write them letters because that will sometimes help them understand that you really are ready to get a new little hamster. Good luck!

Hamsters normally sleep during the day but they may come out to drink or eat .

Its not good to wake them up ! They are nocturnal animals So they make a lot of noise during the night and run around the cage . They dont wake up at a particular time !

Diarrhea in hamsters can be a sign of various health issues such as dietary indiscretion, stress, or an underlying infection. It is important to monitor the hamster closely, ensure access to fresh water, and consult a veterinarian if the diarrhea persists or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms. Adjusting the diet and providing a comfortable, stress-free environment can help alleviate diarrhea in hamsters.

The only noise I can remember hearing from a hamster is the spinning of the wheel. Although it may not be uncommon to hear a slight squealing occasionally.

I found this info about hamster noises:

"Sometimes you will hear a single small squeak. We believe that the hamster is calling to another hamster in the hamstery, but a lone hamster is still know to make this noise. Also you may hear a 'terrible squealing when you put your hand in to handle a new hamster. This means that the hamster is afraid. It will not usually bite while it is making this noise. Pick up the hamster gently and cup it in your hands. It will gradually stop. It may take several days to stop it making this noise when you go into its cage but it will stop as it gets used to its cage and you. Some colours are renown for making this squealing noise, particularly YELLOW."

A Short haired hamster has a memory span of a few days to a few weeks. They may remember familiar scents, sounds, and routes within their habitat, but they do not have long-term memory like humans. It is important to provide a consistent environment and routine to help them feel safe and secure.
