Hamsters Information

Hamsters chew on the bars of their cage to wear down overgrowing teeth, relieve boredom, and because they are stressed. They also bite their bars when they feel irritated, when their cages are too small, and just for fun.

A dirty cage can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria and parasites, which can lead to health issues for your hamster. Regular cleaning also helps to eliminate unpleasant odors.

Most hamsters are territorial animals and do not fare well when sharing a hamster cage. To prevent fights, keep them separate. Dwarf hamsters are the exception and can share a cage with other hamsters of the same sex.

A female hamster stays pregnant for 16-22 days, depending on the species. Syrian hamsters remain pregnant for 16-17 days. If you have a Dwarf Roborovski hamster, she’ll keep her babies in for 22 days or an entire month.
