There is nothing wrong in choosing a hamster with health problems but you must be willing to get it immediate vet treatment, be aware that you may have to make repeated vet trips through the hamsters life and that the hamster may not survive if the sickness is severe but you will be making a big difference for that hamster if you are able to help it.

Method 1: Choose a plump hamster that is hanging from a vine and is not resting on the ground. A good hamster will be green all over, no yellow splotches. Clip the vine so that another hamster can grow

emeraldquartz hamsters don't spread diseases and they're not dirty unless you don't clean them, (you don't clean them with water, you use a sand bath)i haven't got mine yet, but I know a lot about hamsters because I have done so much research on them, if you really want a hamster, do lots of research on them and make a powerpoint about hamsters saying what good pets they make and show it your mom. Also if you have never owned a hamster before I suggest getting a Syrian hamster they are bigger and easier to tame (all hamsters are different so it doesn't apply to all Syrians, but generally speaking) Hope this helped :)

I have a special hamster currently. He is fine and perfectly normal but he has a special tooth. He has 1 tooth that is pearly white and all of the others are normal. It grows faster than the others but thankfully it grows outward! :) He defiantly has a special place in my heart. Awe I love him. And yes I do take him to an exotic vet every few months to get it trimmed.

I was sad. but I'm getting one this summer!

I went to petsmart yesterday and they had 1 hamster (Syrian) and he was so cute! The lady took the cage out that he was in and I put my hand down in the cage he came right over and sniffed my hand he didn't even mind people holding him because at petsmart he gets very spoiled since he is the only one! I was really surprised how tame he was! So I'm going back in a couple of days cause they are getting more hamsters I was thinking about getting him! Do you think that's a good idea?

Get the hamster from where ever you want. Petco & Petsmart do not get their hamsters from mills, they have contracts with breeders who sell hamster pups that aren't good enough for shows to pet stores. Nobody breeds hamsters for profit, hamsters cost 100x more to keep than can be earned selling them.
@bhammy7552
@bhammy7552 8 жыл бұрын
El Gordo That is actually not true. Backyard breeders (which are the breeders you are talking about) and rodent mill still exist, where the animals are bred in very poor conditions (which reduces the cost for the animals). I don't think an ethical breeder would ever sell their hamsters to a pet store, so the breeders you are talking about are probably unethical. Unethical breeding can cause genetic problems and different health problems. Some even die due to genetic issues! That is why it is always preferable to adopt, but if you have no other option and still want a hamster, then you'll have to buy from a pet store.
@elgordo687
@elgordo687 8 жыл бұрын
Also, many dwarf hamster breeders aren't even breeding for show quality...dwarf hamsters are easier to keep than mice and are feeders for their reptile collection. Any that don't get eaten are sold to the pet store. So technically every hamster at the pet store was considered not fancy enough to show or by chance wasn't eaten by something else and is a rescue.
@elgordo687
@elgordo687 8 жыл бұрын
The individual breeders were paid $1-$2 per hamster or were given store credit. Not enough money made to be considered profit.

Hello Erin! Amazing video (as always :3). I am planning on adopting a Syrian hamster soon, and I have some quick things to ask. I usually come to my local PetSmart in the day time (I know it's PetSmart, but this particular one actually gives them solid wheels, good bedding and usually don't keep Syrians together), and I don't often get a chance to see them much. Do you think it would be okay or stressful if I asked a store associate to take out the hamster? And I said usually when I meant they don't keep Syrians together. I saw two cute little black ones sleeping yesterday. Would it be alright if I chose one of the two, or do you think that because they are kept together, then one or the other would have some kind of stress-related health problem? -Thanks!

I just want to make sure my hamster won't get hurt while I'm out so I'm not sure when to take hamsters and when not to. Thanks!

Don't worry, as they are nocturnal its like the middle of the night for them. They sometimes get up for a drink, a pee or a snack but they usually have their ears down and go back to sleep.

Yes. Males have a ball shape to their bums, even when their testicles are not visible. Don't take the absence of testicles as a sign of gender because they can go up and down.

I was listening to my hamster sleep to check if his breathing was okay. I TOTALLY heard a clicking sound and I was so scared. Of course then I left my room to go ask my parents if we could go to the vet. While I was going down the hall, I passed my brother's room. I decided he needed to know (he likes my hamster) so I went into his room. He was on his computer and was CLICKING on his mouse. This was the source of my hamster's "breathing problems". I felt so stupid.

what does it mean if a teddy bear hamster has bald spots behind its ears because I have one has bald spots behind his ears but all of them didn't the pet store doesn't mean they're not healthy or are they fine because they were in a huge enclosure and they had everything they needed so I don't know if it's sick but acted really active when we went to the pet store to get it so I don't really know I mean all the signs were perfectly fine it was active it looked healthy and everything so can you please just answer this

I had a hamster, our closest pet shop is about 40 kilometers away and I didn’t want to go any further, it wasn’t the best pet shop around but as I said, it was quite a while away. I picked out a roborovski that I was told was a male. Two weeks later SHE had 4 babies.

Hamsters aren't "mean" they don't bite for no reason, it's either confusing your hands for food or you've upset/scared it in some way and it's defending itself kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2Oad6xni5d2kKM

I dunno My winter white Rumple passed away In his sleep yesterday after nearly 4.5 years for him It was a full life and I am left with plenty of happy moments and fond memories of my furry buddy. He looked pretty peaceful and only the day before he was burrowing and bathing In his sand living It up. So to me It was worth It. I am satisfied at the personality he developed over his time with me, satisfied I was able to have him for as long as I did and personally I had a lot going on these passed 5 years and he was my buddy through nearly all of them. So to me he was my friend and I'm glad I could share In his life however short It may have been.

My hamster was healthy but had attacks were she would kind of freak out and run and bite it was so sad she ended up dying from one in May and she was so sweet. In her last moments she wouldn't eat or walk and when she did she walked in circles and kept falling over I know the cause just can't spell it but anyway it was one of the saddest days ever.

I had bought a Robo hamster yesterday, it was doing fine and was pretty happy, and I am in the middle of taming it right now. I noticied this morning that there was a bald spot on its hip twards the back. It was red on the bald patch but not bleeding. I hung a round with it for a while. Then I left for a few hours and then came back. He then had a nother spot. I looked a round the cage to see if he was scratching at all but he is not. I was thinking maby he had glands there like syrian hamsters do, but I am not sure. He isnt very old I do not think the pet store did not tell me. P.S. His name is Kane.

I'm really worried now! I got my little Millie about 3 weeks ago, but since having her she has developed a little bald path just above her nose (my last hamster of 2.5 years had one) but does this mean Millie is poorly?? She's still very young and not 100% tame yet so don't want to take her to the vet and stress her out unless it is something that needs looking at xx
