How to wash a hamster
Today I am sharing...
Hamsters themselves are very clean
They do not smell at all
But why do some hamsters smell so bad?
The bedding is not deep enough!
Thin bedding can’t absorb all the pee
Not very cost-effective
When you have at least 15cm/6in of deep bedding
The bad smell will disappear
Just spot clean every 3-5 days...
And add some fresh bedding each time
It will last for a whole year!
Domestic hamsters do not carry diseases
They are not born in the sewer
If you are bitten by a hamster...
Just clean and disinfect the wound
Hamsters won't give you rabies
Syrian hamsters cannot use sand baths?
This is pure nonsense
Syrian hamsters were from the desert
They would go extinct if they couldn’t use sand
And...most of them do love sand baths
Please add some in the enclosure
It will make their hair smooth and shiny
Most hamsters are solitary
They are extremely territorial
We must separate them after 8 weeks old
Otherwise they may fight to death
For your hammies' safety...
Please don't take the risk
Many people think hamsters are pets for children
They are not!
Hamsters are naturally timid
Children may not know how to handle them properly
The hamsters can get scared easily
And the kids will get bitten
If your child really likes to have a hamster...
Please supervise them well
While hamsters don't cost a fortune
That doesn't mean they can be neglected
If you want to have a happy hamster
You will need a lot of things
Please reserve at least £150 for each hamster
They are actually omnivores
Apart from hamster food mixes and veggies
They can also eat cooked meat and...
You can feed them chicken, fish etc
Of course...no seasoning or oil
A tiny portion will be fine
Lots of people have asked me...
Can their hamsters have babies?
Please never breed hamsters...
If you don't have sufficient genetics knowledge...
If you breed your hamsters randomly
They might end up being killed
Although hamsters are tiny and inexpensive
That doesn't mean they are easy to care
Please research before getting a hamster
They are not toys
What do you think is the biggest myth?
