To keep your
hamster healthy, make sure to follow these guidelines.
|
|
Do's
1) Clean your
hamster cage every week. This means, change the bedding. Wipe out any wet spots
and add more bedding.
2) Once a month, clean your hamster cage with mild
detergent. Dry it completely so it stays sanitary.
3) Change your
hamster's water everyday.
4) Change your hamster's food everyday.
5) Every other day, clean anything that's soiled.
6) Every day,
if there is any, remove wet bedding.
7) Give your hamster pieces of
unscented toilet paper to make a nest.
8) Keep the hamster cage away
from doors, direct sunlight, and pets or small children.
9) Make sure
your hamster is in the temperature range of 60 - 90 degrees, otherwise it could
be fatal.
10) Spend plenty of time with your hamster everyday and handle
it often. This will keep your hamster tame and
healthy.

|
|
Dont's
1) Never use cedar bedding. Always use aspen, pine, or other softwoods.
Cedar will cause respiratory problems and death in dwarf hamsters!
2)
Never give your hamster a bath, no matter how dirty it is. Chinchilla sand,
which can be purchased at a pet store, is a good alternative. It is safe for
dwarf hamsters and many of them like to roll in it. It will remove excess oils
from the fur.
3) Never leave vegetables, fruits, or any other spoilable
foods in the cage for more than 24 hours.
4) Never leave the top of the
cage off for long, or the hamster could escape.
5) Try not to drop your
hamster.
6) If your hamster becomes sick, don't try home

stuff you HAVE to do to your hamsters.
Every
Day
1. Observe your
hamster to make sure he/she is healthy.
2. Dump out uneaten food and
refill the bowl.
3. Change water in water bottles.
4. Check for
any wet bedding. If there is any, remove whatever is soiled.
5. Spend
some time with your hamster: hold it and give it some TLC!
|
|
|
|
|
Once A
Week
1. Change the
bedding in your cage.
2. Clean out water bottles.
3. Check your
hamster(s) over for any physical problems, like lacerations, cuts, etc.
4. Check your supplies: make sure you have plenty of food.

|
|
|

etc.

your
list. |
|
Here are two
shopping lists; one for Petsmart and one for Petco. I made these lists for these
two companies because they are national and are located in many regions. Some of
you may not have access to them, but this list should be of help to you, anyway.
These lists will get you started with the necessities you will need for
your first dwarf hamster. There is a price listing of all the items and a total
below. I have chosen wire cages and all other items suitable for dwarfs. These
lists are economic, and you will be able to find similar items at other stores.
So, get started!
|
|
My Petsmart List
1. This is a
compact, two story wire cage any dwarf hamster will love. It comes with a food
dish, water bottle, wheel, and house, so those items don't need to be worried
about. It is $24.99.
2. Bedding is
another important item you will need. Remember, no cedar! Carefresh or Kaytee
brand are perfect for dwarfs. 1500 cubic inches is a perfect size for several
months if you only have one cage. A 1500 cu. in. bag of litter is
$3.69.
3. A water bottle
is a definite need, but dwarfs only need a small water bottle. As shown in the
picture, many sizes are available, but you will only need the smallest one, the
4 oz. It is $1.99.
4. Chew sticks
are a must in the world of dwarf hamsters. These chew sticks, shaped like fast
food, will last your dwarf a long time. There are other, smaller types of
chewsticks for slightly cheaper, also. These chewsticks are $2.99.
5. And, last but
not least, food. There are so many varieties of hamster food on the market, it's
difficult to choose which is the best. Look for brands like Nutriphase and
Vitakraft. This bag of food is 2.75 lb. It costs $4.99.
Total: $38.55
Not including tax or price of hamster.

My Petco List
1. This is a cage
suitable for dwarf hamsters. It has a quiet exercise wheel and comes in various
colors. It is $19.99.
2. Bedding is
another important aspect of hamster care. Don't use cedar! There are many sizes
available, but if you only have one or two hamsters, than a smaller size is
right for you. This is Carefresh bedding, which works as good, if not better,
than pine. It is especially good for dwarfs with allegies or sensitive skin. It
is $5.49 for the smaller bag.
3. This water
bottle was designed for dwarf hamsters. It is small and durable. It is
$3.19.
4. Food bowls are
important when keeping your hamster's cage sanitary. They keep the food clean
and are easy to refill. This bowl is $1.99.
5. Your dwarf
will need chew sticks to control the growth of its incisors. These cost
$2.09.
6. And lastly,
food. Every dwarf needs it. As mentioned to the left, be careful when selecting
your food. This is a 3 lb. bag, and it costs $5.49.
Total: $38.24
Not including tax or price of hamster.

Here is a list

What To
Do
1. If possible,
try to cleanse wounds with a tiny amount of hydrogen peroxide. Keep the wound
clean. Otherwise, see a vet.
2. Check inside mouth and try to remove any
objects. This is rather difficult so consulting a vet is your best bet. Be sure
the pouches actually have problems before taking the animal to the vet. Lots of
hamsters always overstuff
their pouches.
3. Try to rehydrate the
hamster by offering more water. But, you must contact a vet. This is probably
wet tail and you will need medication immediately.
4. Ask a vet. It
could be mites or possibly, disease.
5. Isolate and rehydrate. Take away
all green foods. If problem persists, take to the vet.
6. Take to a cool
room, and while holding in hand, set the hamster into cool water. Keep the head
above water. Carefully and completely dry the hamster. Make sure you keep them
out of drafts! As soon as they are conscious, rehydrate.
7. Trim the
tips of the nails down to the quick with baby nail clippers. If you are afraid
to try this, take your hamster to the vet; they'll be glad to do it.
8.
First, what kind of bedding are you using? If it is cedar, remove it
immediately!! Otherwise, get your hamster to the vet quickly.
9. First,
observe whether the hamster is able to move. If after a while, he resumes normal
activities, he will probably be okay. Otherwise, if he continues to act stunned
and won't move, eat, drink, etc., take him to the
vet.

Dwarf hamsters
need lots of exercise, and they love to run. Here are someddwarf hamster suggestions for
accessories for your hamster.
|
|
There are many options out there to enhance your hamster's fun.
Pet stores
will have many choices for toys and wheels.
Your hamster definitely, if
anything, needs a wheel. They can run up to eight miles in one night on these
things! Make sure, if you have a dwarf hamster, that you don't get a wheel with
rungs. These cause hurt hamster feet and possibly broken limbs.
Plastic
toys are very popular. They come in almost every shape and form and can be
bought at local pet stores.
You also might want to consider purchasing a
hamster ball. While cleaning the cage, you can put the hamster in the ball and
they can run around on the floor without getting lost. It works like a charm.
So, you don't have deep funds? Try homemade toys! You can come up with
just about anything, just make sure it is nontoxic. Try a toilet paper roll.
Hamsters love these and they're virtually free. Also, try using plastic water
bottles as tubes. Cut the bottles with scissors very evenly. Stick one bottle
slightly inside the other and tape them together. You can make long or short
tunnels for crawling and climbing in.
This is a cheap toy to make, also. Cut the bottom of an egg carton so the
bottom of it has 12 open holes. You can turn the carton upside down and stuff
it with bedding and let your hamsters use it as a nest or a fun toy.
