What else can I help you with?
Can you have a hamster in a flat?
Depends what you mean, If you mean in the cage.. Then yes. If you mean outside of the cage.. Well that'd be an easy no, Since hamsters commonly tend to "nibble" on cords & things that they shouldn't & also it's more than likely that the hamster would escape the room.
Can hamsters chew through metal?
If the hamster is chewing the bars of the cage, nothing as long as you keep an eye on the cage bar and make sure that the hamster is not eating through the cage! If it is chewing the cage bars it's a sign that he wants to come out. However if your mean that you are feeding him wire then stop cos it'll get caught in the hamsters throat or organs and cause a very traumatic death!
Why do hamsters bite their owners?
Beacuse it is scared and trying to defend its self. an example (this happend to me): The hamster just wakes up. You stick your finger in its cage (its "territory").Hamster bites finger because it is frightened and it's trying to defend its home. i guess that is a no given.... how would you like to have a giant finger in your house... creepy...
What should you do if your hamster is biting the bars of his cage?
This is hard to stop because its teeth keep growing, they chew to wear the teeth down. You can put wooden toys in the cage for it to chew on instead of the cage but it still may chew on the cage.I do give my hamster stuff to chew on and he keeps chewing on the bars everyday...Any other suggestions? a Liquid?Alright its good to make the cage a little different! Interest him/her just like give it lots of stuff to do because if it keeps chewing, it could get brain damage or chipped teeth!Many people put lemon juice on the bars because it is non toxic and deters the hamsters from chewingAnswer 2:Also, you can take a squirt bottle and squirt them. but only if you can catch them in the act. i got one of the small perfume bottles from Victoria secret and cleaned it out really well and just use plain water. it doesn't have a hard enough of a stream to hurt them and they stop cause they are too worried about cleaning themselves. Or another alternative that worked with my girls is blowing in their face. one quick decent blow and they usually stop. after the 2nd day i didn't have a problem with them chewing the bars.Answer 3:To stop them from chewing on the cage first thing you can do is try what the other people said but if that doesn't work replace the cage with a plastic cage that's what i did and it worked great!This is for Answer 3; I have a plastic cage, and my hamster bites where she knows it opens. She keeps me awake at night, it's SOOOOO loud! When I'm downstairs, she is upstairs, and it sounds like the washing machine going on full blast upstairs, and that's with all the doors closed... her cage is in my bedroom! I rubbed lemon juice on the areas that she bites and scratches on. It was fresh lemon, I tasted it, and I couldn't open my eyes from the sourness for several minutes! My weird little hamster was licking the lemon juice off the cage! She even tried to take the lemon slice that I was holding, off me, so that she could eat it! It's not that she's bored; she has loads of toys and good biting items, big windy tubes to explore, and a nice comfy nest. She doesn't even want to escape, because when I open the cage, she just sits there and stares at me. No, she bites and scraped at the cage because she wants me to hold her. She wants to go out in her ball, and be petted by me and my family and friends. What can I do to stop her from chewing on her cage? The fairly NEW cage has minor damage from scratches and bites... please help?Answer 4:I just recently (and I mean just a few minutes ago) discovered my hamster chewing on the bars of her cage. We opened the cage, and put her ball up to it and she just crawled in. All she wanted was to roll around and explore. It gives her a different environment to play in for a little while. Since hamsters are nocturnal they want to be played with and handled at night. Maybe before going to bed, just get her out for a while and get her a ball to roll around in. She might stop chewing on the bars then.Answer 5:VERY SIMPLE AND CHEAP WAY TO STOP BAR NIBBLING, WATER BOTTLE NIBBLING, AND WIRE BOTTLE HOLDER NIBBLING: JUST GIVE THEM A METAL SPOON, Nothing fancy just plain metal spoons.. teaspoon is fineI actually couldn't believe my eyes it was so simple, yes he will chew it, but not for long, and after he's stopped take it out, it will also give him something to investigate, and discourage biting of objects u don't want him biting, and while he's biting the spoon get some toilet paper, I'm talking yank out 30 cm at a time, and gather like 10-12 pieces of it, and scatter it all over the cage, esp in the corner he's biting, he will become preoccupied with all that paper, and eventually wear himself out and go snoozeTested: Syrians, male, female, several times now its worked every time and when I take the spoon he doesn't even notice and some days I find him curled up in the paper vs his igloo.Answer 6:Just put rubber o the cage when the hamster goes to chew it the taste would be yuck and will stop for good.

If your hamster bites you and draws blood and it is old will it die?
no, this does not mean that your hamster will die soon. However, if you have a dwarf hamster, the life expectancy is only about 11/2 - 2 years. A regular hamster lives about five years. But if you are bitten, you should watch out for sign of a flu-like disease or an infection in or on the bitten are. Many hamsters carry diseases that can be easily transferred to human so always keep bites clean and wash your hands immediately after holding your hamster.
Could a hamster lose hair from no attention?
Stress is the main reason why hamsters lose fur. Another reason could also be from scratching the area. It depends in what sort of attention you mean. If the hamster has not been fed or cleaned or given water then yes, this will cause the hamster great stress. If you mean the hamster has not been taken out of its cage and played with there is a possibility that this is causing the hamster stress. Hamsters do need attention in that respect and it could cause them stress from being alone and trapped in a small cage for a long period of time. If you think the hair loss is from something else then you should take the hamster to the vets. The best way to avoid this is by taking the hamster out the cage regularly and giving it some attention.
