What’s Normal and
What’s Not!!!
❤️❤️‍🩹❤️❤️‍🩹❤️

Hamsters are clever and curious companion animals that can make great pets for just about any household.
“Most hamsters are very friendly and active,” says Dr. Sara Ochoa, a small animal and exotic veterinarian based in Texas.
Whether you’re a first-time or experienced hamster pet parent, you may find yourself asking, “Is this a normal trait or behavior?” during the course of your pet’s lifetime.
As a hamster parent, it’s important to understand your hamster’s behaviors and be able to identify when something might be wrong. Here is a list of normal—and not so normal—hamster behaviors that you should understand when caring for your small animal.
Normal Hamster Behaviors
The following hamster behaviors are completely normal and to be expected. If you see your hamster doing any of these things, there’s no need to worry.

1. Being Active at Night�
If your hamster is awake and running around their habitat at night, have no fear—this is a sign of a happy hamster.
“Hamsters are nocturnal animals,” says Dr. Shermaine Wilson Cox, a small animal veterinarian based outside of Atlanta, Ga. “This means they are less active during the day and more active at night. They are really energetic and will exercise for three to four hours each night.”

2. A Whole Lot of Chewing�
You may notice your hamster chewing on a regular basis and could think it’s cause for concern. But chewing behavior in hamsters is a way for these small animals to file and grind down their teeth.
“Hamster front teeth are constantly growing. Since they are always growing, they need to be filed daily,” says Ochoa. “Give them approved things to chew on. Things like wooden blocks or crunchy food are good for them to chew on.”

3. Stuffing Their Cheeks�
We’ve all seen adorable videos of hamsters stuffing their cheeks with food, and this behavior is perfectly normal. Hamsters use their cheek pouches to carry and store food, says Wilson Cox, who adds that hamsters can carry up to 50 percent of their body weight in their cheeks.
“The cheek pouches are used to transport food, bedding material, and occasionally their young,” she says. “After stuffing their cheek pouches with food, they will take it back to their burrow or special hiding place and empty the pouches into their food store.”

4. Burrowing and Hiding�
Hamsters instinctively burrow or hide as a means of protection and staying safe. So, if you see your hamster hiding or burrowing in their habitat, you have no need to fret. “This is their way of hiding from any danger,” says Ochoa. “They will usually hide when they want to rest. This is how the stay safe while they sleep.”

Not Normal Hamster Behaviors
While the above behaviors are things pet parents can expect from their hamsters, the following are signs that a hamster may be sick or unwell. If you notice any of these symptoms, make an appointment to see your veterinarian.

5. Hibernating�
If there is a sudden drop in temperature in a hamster’s environment, a hamster may go into hibernation. Wilson Cox explains that this often happens at a temperature of approximately 41 degrees Fahrenheit. A pet’s habitat should be kept at normal household temperatures to maintain a healthy pet (up to 80 degrees Fahrenheit), so while although may be normal for hamsters, it shouldn’t ever happen with your pet at home.

6. Lethargy�
As previously mentioned, hamsters are active and energetic animals, so if you see a hamster that lacks energy or is being sluggish, have them evaluated by a veterinarian. “Any time a hamster is acting lethargic we start to worry,” says Ochoa. “Hamster’s do not show signs of sickness until they are very sick.”

7. Not Eating or Drinking�
A healthy hamster should have a healthy appetite, so if your hamster is not eating or is refusing food, there may be something wrong. “With them being so small, even just a few hours without eating or drinking, they can get dehydrated very easily,” says Ochoa.

8. Not Chewing�
If you notice malocclusion (improperly aligned teeth) or that your hamster’s teeth look overgrown and you don’t see your hamster chewing regularly—even if you’ve supplied proper chewing tools—this is a sign of possible concern.

9. Uncharacteristic Hiding�
Hamsters do burrow and hide, but it’s mostly when they are sleeping. If your hamster is hiding constantly during regular awake or play periods, it may be a sign of anxiety or stress. “If a pet is afraid, they will usually be hiding a lot,” says Ochoa. “They may do this if a cat [or other animal] is constantly watching them.”

Other Signs of Hamster Sickness
🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

In addition to the above behaviors that may signal a sickness or medical condition, other signs to watch for include:
* Cloudy, sunken, or swollen eyes
* Hair loss
* Weight loss
* Diarrhea
* Constipation
* Sneezing
* Discharge from the eyes, nose or mouth
* Heavy breathing
* Tumors
“If you notice any of these signs, take your hamster to a veterinarian that specializes in small animals to discuss the health of your pet,” says Wilson Cox.

9 Care Tips for Beginners…

📞 Call or Whatsapp us on 0777412536



Four paws, two bright eyes, and a set of twitchy whiskers. There’s nothing cuter than a pet hamster! If you’ve recently welcomed a hamster into your family, here are nine quick care tips to memorize.

1. Choose a habitat

Your little dude (or dudette) needs a safe home in which to explore and feel comfortable. Explore colors, tubes, accessories, and add-ons to create a unique habitat with plenty of places to tunnel, hide and burrow. Use different Crittertrail® tubes to connect two or more habitats and create endless configurations. Pick bedding they can burrow in, and make sure to choose the right-sized water bottle like a 6-ounce chew proof water bottle.

2. Put their habitat in the right place

As is the case with many small animals, placement is essential to a happy pet. Put your hamster’s home near the sounds of your family, but not right in the thick of things. They’ll be comforted by your day-to-day sounds, but will be stressed out by loud noises and lots of hubbub right outside their space. Do also be sure to keep your pets habitat away from any vents or drafty windows to ensure they are in a safe temperature controlled environment.

3. Cover their habitat with a light cloth for the first few days

When you bring your new hamster home, everything is new to them. Give them the headspace to get to know their new habitat for a few days – without the distractions of your home – by placing a light cloth over their space. Feel free to take this cover off for bonding time!

4. Wait a few days before trying to pick them up
Like any new friendship, it takes time to get to know someone and feel comfortable with them. That said, wait a while to handle your hamster or pick them up. After a few days of giving them food and water, they’ll start to trust you!

5. Once they’re acclimated, think outside the box for feeding time

You don’t eat the same things every day, do you? Your hammie will appreciate a varied diet as much as humans do. In addition to their normal, everyday food, try giving them small amounts of carrots, squash, broccoli, cucumbers, apples, pears, or berries. Ask your vet about the best foods to feed your new friend. Remember, treats should always be given in moderation.

6. Clean and wash your hamster’s space regularly
There’s a happy medium between keeping your hamster’s home clean and comfy and creating undue stress by cleaning it too much. In general:

Clean the toilet area daily
Spot change bedding as needed (when soiled/wet)
Wipe out their food dish weekly
Change water daily
Empty their entire habitat weekly or twice a week
Place all new bedding weekly
Every week or every other week, take soap and water and wipe down the entire habitat once it’s empty of bedding, toys, and other pieces. That extra step will keep your hamster's space smelling good.

7. Give them plenty of out-of-habitat time

A great way to give your hamster exercise and get some needed bonding time is to provide ample playtime outside their habitat each week. We suggest setting up a small gated area with lots of toys and some treats so they can explore and say hi to their human family! Remember to always supervise your hamster when he or she is out of their habitat.

8. Take time to bond with your hamster
Patience, regular feeding, lots of out-of-habitat playtime, and soft talk will go a long way in helping you bond with your hamster. Make sure to always approach your pet slowly and talk to them in a conversational manner. They’ll learn to recognize your scent and voice and see you as a source of comfort.

9. Handle your pet with care

Unlike other small animals, hamsters and gerbils need to be picked up with both hands and cradled in cupped hands. The same goes for putting them down, but use extra caution so they don’t accidentally escape from or slip through your hands. Because these pets are naturally nocturnal, be sensitive to the time of day you are trying to handle your hamster. You wouldn’t want someone snatching you up out of your sweet dreams!
