I think you should try apet that would live longer like a bird or you cold get a kitten or puppy. Definitely something that would live at least 10 years. Have fun :-)

I don't think you should get a different animal, just get another one, I'm 12 and I <3 My hamster!!!

I think you should get another hamster, I am 13 and the next hamster I get (BETTER BE SOON!) will be my 11th hamster. They make wonderful pets, but then again trying a new pet isn't always the worse. Hope I helped :)

Should you take an injured hamster to the cet?

If your hamster is injured and you are worried, it is perfectly fine to take the hamster to a vet. The vet can treat the hamster like they do any other animal.


Is a hamster sick if it is losing fur near its ear and shoulder area?

Check your hamsters food. It doesn't matter where you get the food, how you get the food your food could have weevils. The weevils go inside the cage when you put food in there and cause irritation. Put your hamster food in the freezer to prevent this. OR, It probably has mites. My hamster had mites, and she was losing fur on her back. We were wondering if we should take it to a vet, but she ended up healing by herself and is now perfectly fine. I'm not saying this is what you should do, because your hamster might not heal by itself; she might get worse. If she loses more hair, and still doesn't seem to be getting any better, I'd suggest bringing it to a vet. I hope your hamster gets better soon!


Is my hamster going to die it dislocated its shoulder?

Your hamster is gone what should you do?

If your hamster is gone, look for it really good. Hamsters need soft bedding to burrow in. Look for somewhere soft and cushiony where the hamster would rest.If you can't find your hamster and it got out of it's cage by itself don't feel like it's your fault even if you opened and it ran out. Hamsters don't come back to you like dogs do. Look for your hamster in the daytime when it should be asleep and also don't open any doors unless you have to. Buy another hamster to replace it and it will make you feel a lot better! But this time be extra careful!

Should I buy your dwarf hamster a hamster friend or not?

They might cause a fight, if same gender, If not the same gender, the they will (most likely) have babies, and when a female hamster has babies, you have to help the babies come out. And if you touch the hamster babies AT ALL, the mother will eat them. I don't recommend buying another hamster.
