Hamsters need salt for the same reason we do, without it our nervous system could not function. It is not mandatory to have a salt lick or salt wheel for your hamster but it would be a good idea. Hamsters live in the wild where they get their minerals from plants and stuff. Hamsters can't always get minerals and the salt they need in their cage that's why its a good idea to get a salt lick or something for your hamster.
No, hamsters should not eat bacon. Bacon is high in fat, salt, and spices, which can be harmful to a hamster's digestive system. It's best to stick to a hamster-specific diet of fruits, vegetables, and pellets.
who actually cares I need a better answer
Dwarf hamsters typically do well with bedding made of paper-based materials like paper pellets or shredded paper. Avoid using cedar or pine shavings as they can be harmful to hamsters' respiratory systems. Make sure the bedding is at least a few inches deep to allow for burrowing and nesting.
It wont kill you its just animal food its like eating dog food if it was poisonos the would not sell it
Don't give them salted peanuts, give them unsalted ones.
HAMSTERS NEED SALT! it is a good idea to give them sticks of salt or put it in their food!
Hamsters eat fruits and vegetables.
yes
Too much salt raises the blood pressure, and remember that a hamster's body is so much more tiny than ours, that a small amount of salt could have a big impact. So don't give it salty foods. Hamsters do need salts, just like we do. But the best way to supply it is with a salt lick from a pet store, this is not table salt, sodium chloride, it is a mineral lick with all sorts of things.
Yes because salt can burn their insides and it is not good for them anyway
They actually don't NEED any salt. If you just get them a salt block they can have a lick whenever they like but really there is no need because its too sour for those small creatures.
no because they breed by the salt water and do it by themselfs
yes hamsters can eat peanuts. It is their favorite food! :)
Yes you can, and some hamsters need to live in pairs. However, syrian hamsters are very territorial and need to live alone.
Hamsters need shelter so they have a place to eat, sleep, and do what is necessary to survive.
No! this might severely damage or hurt your small hamster.
teddy bear hamsters like what every other hamster likes there is no difference in prefrenceses withen all hamsters.
