Hamsters

In the Wild, Hamsters Live in deep underground homes called burrows, some hamsters dig their own burrows. Other kinds live in burrows of other small animals. Hamsters stay in the burrow during the day and will fight off intruders, but when the Sun goes down the hamsters leave the burrow to go search for food. Some wild hamsters are losing their homes due to construction of buildings.

Hope this Helps!

Yes, balsa wood is a suitable material for a hamster maze because it is lightweight, easy to cut into various shapes, and safe for hamsters to chew. However, it may not be very durable compared to other materials.

Yes, inhaling ammonia fumes can cause health problems such as respiratory issues, throat irritation, and even headaches. It's important to ensure proper ventilation in the area where the guinea pigs are kept to reduce the concentration of ammonia in the air. Consider using bedding that controls odor better and cleaning the cage more frequently to address the smell.

Vitamin A helps protect the surface of the eye (cornea), it is essential for good vision.

Studies show vitamin A eye drops are effective for the treatment of dry eyes. In fact, one study found that over-the-counter lubricating eye drops containing vitamin A were as effective for the treatment of dry eye syndrome as more expensive prescription eye drops formulated for dry eye relief.

Vitamin A eye drops also have been shown effective for the treatment of a specific type of eye inflammation called superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.

Vitamin A, at least when in combination with other antioxidant vitamins, also appears to play a role in decreasing the risk of macular degeneration (AMD). In the landmark Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) sponsored by the National Eye Institute, people at high risk for the disease who took a daily multiple vitamin that included vitamin A (as beta carotene), vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc and copper had a 25 percent reduced risk of advanced AMD during a six-year period.

It also appears that a combination of vitamin A and lutein may prolong vision in people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa (RP). A recent four-year study conducted by researchers from Harvard Medical School and other prominent universities found that individuals with retinitis pigmentosa who took daily supplements of vitamin A (15,000 IU) and lutein (12 mg) had a slower loss of peripheral vision than those who did not take the combined supplements.

Because beta carotene is converted into vitamin A in the body, it's likely beta carotene (provitamin A) offers similar eye benefits as the pre-formed retinol type of vitamin A, though more research is needed to confirm this.

Yes! You should call your eye Doctor, and be seen rather quickly (if not same day, possibly in the next two days) especially if you wear contact lenses and have no glasses to wear as a back up.

This can be something as simple as over wear of contacts, or an infection or sinus infection, that could easily be cleared with an Rx drop, and can be as serious as unmonitored eye pressure (IOP) and could lead to irreversible damage to your vision if not treated.

Not to worry though, its best to just have it checked, and be on the safe side. Chances are, it will be something easily treated, and you'll have peace of mind!

Some people may find it easier to relax and unwind at night, making it a more conducive time for intimacy. The darkness and quietness of night may also create a more intimate atmosphere. Additionally, couples often have more free time and feel less stressed at night, making it a preferred time for sexual activity.

I suggest you let it settle in before you start holding it a lot

because it may not be used to playing with a person rather

then another gerbil. When I got my gerbils, I held them both

a little each day because they still need love and comfort but

they don't want to be squeezed to death. You can also give them

a more special treat like fruit or veggies instead of their boring

food mix, but don't give it to often or they might get sick. The

thing they love the most is a huge area to play in. If you have

and toys that you can make a home or maze for them, they enjoy

it a lot. They love excercise. My Gerbils like to run in balls. They

also like it when I put them on my kitchen chairs. I separate them

from a distance (less than half a foot) and put a long Paper Towel

roll to connect the chairs. But don't worry. They usually

settle in anyway after 2 to 3 days. :)

No, hamsters and dachshunds are different species with different mating behaviors and instincts. It is highly unlikely for a boy hamster to "turn on" a girl dachshund. It is important to keep them separated to ensure the safety and well-being of both animals.

None. In crayfish, females become fertilized externally by mating with males. The male transfers sperm to the female, who then stores it until she is ready to fertilize her eggs.

Redness around your hamster's mouth could be a sign of an infection, irritation, or injury. The missing hair in that area could be due to your hamster scratching or rubbing the affected area. It's best to take your hamster to a veterinarian for a proper diagnosis and treatment.

Hamsters have fur that covers their bodies. It can vary in color and texture depending on the breed. Their fur helps to keep them warm and protects their skin.

The term "hamster" does not have a specific feminine or masculine form. It is a unisex noun that refers to both male and female hamsters.

When you are nocturnal you sleep at daytime and you're awake at nigh time.

Golden hamster's scientific name is Mesocricetus auratus. It is basically an experimental animal used in preclinical testing. It has a small tail and very loosely packed skin with cheek pouch

No, it is not safe to give your hamster tin foil as bedding. Your hamster may chew on it, which can lead to ingestion and potential health issues. It is best to provide safe, species-appropriate bedding materials such as paper-based bedding or aspen shavings.

Yes they are as far as I know they only eat seeds, nuts, some fruit and veg, raisins, corn, cheese, and probably bread, biscuits, cakes, chocolate, and peanut butter. If mice can eat peanut butter, chocolate, cheese, and corn I'm sure that hamsters can to

(NO YOUR RIDICULOUSLY NAIVE)

Edit: No they are not. Hamster are omnivores, which in the wild, they fed on insects, seeds, fruits and other stuff they can find. They eat almost anything human does except for chocolate and alot more things. Hence they are considered potential pest and competitors to rats and mice.

hamster pet food packages actually contain quite alot of dried meat. its compulsory for hamster to consume a small amount of meat/protein like human though their diet consist primarily of veggies fruits and seeds. Hence veggies are still the healthy food for them and meat may be compulsory but not overfed though they like it more than veggies actually.

Try putting laying a tiny dead roach in front of your hamster and you will see it rushing to you impetuously like it will do anything to have it fangs sink inside the roach. <- Even if its the first time he see it, instinct will guide it to do that. It will no longer be the cute gentle hamster you always thought about it anymore, well unless you accept part of that of him as well. Naive peeps who actually think hamster are no more than gentle and cute rodents might actually think this particular hamster's owner had been starving her. But well thats their hunting instinct.

It is generally not recommended to house a male and a female hamster together in the same cage, as they may mate and produce offspring, leading to potential aggression or stress. It is best to keep hamsters in separate cages to prevent any unwanted litters and to ensure their well-being.

Tumors on beef liver can vary in appearance, but they may appear as abnormal growths or masses on the surface of the liver. They can vary in size, color, and texture depending on the type of tumor. It is important to consult a veterinarian or pathologist for a definitive diagnosis.

it is from an Iroquois word meaning 'beautiful lake' or 'beautiful water' used for Lake Ontario

Many types of algae have simple organization, with unicellular species existing as individual cells. Some algae may form colonies of cells or filaments of cells, but they lack the complex tissue organization seen in higher plants.

Two methods of old age transportation could include walking with the assistance of a cane or walker and using public transportation such as buses or trains that offer senior discounts and accommodations for accessibility.

It is difficult to determine the exact amount of money on Earth as it exists in various forms such as physical cash, digital currency, stocks, bonds, and other financial assets. However, estimates suggest that the total global money supply is in the trillions of dollars.

They sleep upside down because they sleep in caves. When a predator enters the cave, they all fly around like maniacs to try and scare of the predator and it is harder to reach the bats when they are upside down.

You can tell a hurricane is a hurricane by the winds are swirling and it seems stormy. It most likely happens in tropical places. Just to tell you, hurricanes are bad!!!! So don't go to Florida!!
