Exercise and Enrichment: Hamsters are active animals that require regular exercise. Provide a solid-surfaced exercise wheel and safe toys for mental stimulation. Creating a variety of tunnels and hiding spots using cardboard tubes or small boxes can also keep your hamster entertained.
Handling and Socialization: Handle your hamster gently and regularly to build trust and prevent them from becoming fearful or aggressive. Always supervise interactions with children and other pets to ensure the safety of both your hamster and other animals.
Healthcare: Monitor your hamster’s health closely and seek veterinary care if you notice any signs of illness or injury, such as changes in behavior, loss of appetite, or difficulty breathing. Regularly trim your hamster’s nails and check their teeth for overgrowth.
By following these guidelines, you can provide a loving and nurturing environment for your hamster, ensuring they lead a happy and fulfilling life as your cherished companion.
