Hi! I just adopted my new little hammie, Cubby, (Tubby, according to my 3 year old), today. She, (I checked), is only 4 weeks old, the runt of the litter. I...
You don't want to disturb her when she sleeping....that's usually when they will bite. Hamsters don't see that well, so you need to move slowly and I start...
My hamster Stitch has a lump or growth or something under his head between his front paws. I posted a few pics on here listed as Stitch. I really want to know...
Hello Heidi, The only thing you can do for your hamster is take him to a vet knowledgeable about hamsters if you don't already have one. You need to get him in...
This question is actually for my friend, but I told her I'd help her find out, so I'm hoping some of you here will know what she should do. Two days ago, her...
Yeah, if she can get mom back into the cage, then scoop the babies up with a warmed cleaned spoon and put them back in the nest. She also needs to figure out...
If Cubby is sleeping let her sleep. As already suggested you can wake them up by talking and what not but really would you want to be woken up. You didn't...
Hi, everybody, I`m Isis, from Brazil. I have some pics here, they`re from a friend. One of her hamsters is getting white in some parts of the coat, as you can...
Cubby is a syrian, (teddy bear) hamster. Is it normal for them to not really want anything to do with you? It seems, when she's awake and I put my hand in her...
Hi It is quite simple. She is cowering because you were in HER territory, just like she might do if another hamster went into her space. I would not do that in...
Move slowly and let her come to you. Try placing a treat on your hand and let her come and take it. Talk softly before and while doing this. She will...
So, do I wait to handle her until she's awake? I thought if you woke them up they would adjust to that and know that it's their playtime? Also, how do you feel...
With my hamsters they are mad when they wake up - I only handle them when they are awake. What we did to get them used to us is to put a toilet paper roll in...
... not ... I ... from ... strike ... her. ... My Kenai is a one year old teddy bear hamster too. He does the same thing. I gently pick him up under his front...
yes handle her on her time which means when she's ready to get up. they never adjust to "playtime". they tolerate us but really dont want to be held. they hate...
Hi I always wait for the hammie to come out of their own accord. That way I know it is what they want to do. It can take some time at first and they will...
Thank you for all your help! What size cage would be a good size for Cubby? I don't have a ton of money or space, so what would be suitable? Thanks! ... in ......
Hi. My hamsters cage is falling apart do you guys have any suggestions for my new cage. I was thinking about the OVO, but I"m not intirely sure. thanks, ...
one ovo is too small. but if u put on some add-ons and attach it to a 2nd cage, (even a 3rd) preferably a wire one would be fine. those cages that are all...
unfortunately money and space always make it easier. for the 10 gallon they have toppers like this http://www.martinscages.com/images/full/RT- 615.jpg the good...
My hamster is the same type and he did that at first and then I just reached in and held him. I also have had him since he was 2 days old so he nows me as his...
I wouldn't get the OVO if it's the only cage you are going to use. The OVO has very little airflow which is important to a hamster. I recommend the habitrail...
