HOW TO TAKE CARE OF DWARF HAMSTERS?
Dwarf hamsters make great pets. They look so cute and they are relatively easy to take care of. They are also fun to be with. If you are thinking of making this pet your companion, there are some things you need to know.
First of all, just like any other pet, you need to take them when they are young. The best time to get the hamster is right after it has been weaned from the master mother. This means he will have a minimum of four weeks. The best adoptable age for a hamster is minimum two months old. The best time to get one is after two months since birth. It may come as a surprise for you but the hamsters can get pregnant at the age of 2 months. So adopt one between 4 weeks and two months. It will be perfect like that. It is important to not get an old one because it will be harder if not impossible to tame them. If the hamster is young, he can easily be socialized and trained.
After reading this, you may now want to go to a pet store and take a look at some hamsters.
Wait a little till it’s afternoon. The hamsters are nocturnal pets. In the morning the hamsters are not very friendly because they are sleepy. You can see them at the peak of the energy level during late afternoon or even in the evening. Then you will be able to spot their cute personality.
The main elements about hamster care
If you want to take the best hamster in the shop or just see the most agile and independent, you need to look at the hamster’s eyes. The healthy hamsters have very clean eyes, beautiful shiny fur and a good and energetic disposition. If you see that the hamster is loosing the fur, it means he has a health problem. Also, lumps on the body indicate the same problem too. Healthy animals don’t have lumps.
You need to pick an energetic and fresh looking hamster. That is if you don’t want to have problems. Taking care of a sick hamster is not that easy as you may think. Nursing a hamster back to health can be problematic. You need to make an appointment with a vet and let him diagnose the pet. There are many illnesses hard to discover in a hamster and some have no treatment.
Treating the sick hamster could also drain you of energy and emotion. Hamster care also means finding the suitable companionship. Hamsters need each other. They can not live by themselves. Many vets and breeders recommend buying hamster pairs because they need to socialize. This is not all the time true with the hamsters but with dwarf hamsters is true. The male needs a female and the other way around. This is very recommended if you want to have hamster babies too. You can also place together hamsters of the same sex, if you don’t want hamster babies. But determining the hamster’s sex can be very tricky and full of surprises.
Hamster feeding
Feeding your precious hamster is something that deserves your whole attention. They need the basic requirements and nutrients, every day or else they get sick. In the local pet stores there are many hamster types of food at good prices. One hamster needs to be fed one time a day. He only requires two table spoons and plenty of water.
Unlike other pets, they need to be fed in the evening. Because they are nocturnal, they need sustenance before night fall. You can also make at home a mix of some fresh leaves, add some vegetables and give them to the hamster. He will be most pleased with that. Hamster love fruits and vegetables. If you notice a disorder or some irregular bowel movements, you can stop feeding the hamster for at least two days. In this time, he will recuperate.
After the two recuperation days, give him only vegetables for other ten days. After the pet eats, take away the excess vegetables and fruits. Don’t leave them there to root. Besides that, try not to give him too many foods that contain sugar. Some hamsters easily develop diabetes. Try to give them the hamster food from the pet real food.
If you do that, you will have a healthy hamster.
