Housing Information Part 3
Breeding Information Part 2One thing to watch out for while Syrian hamsters are mating is that the female doesn't attack the male. After a female hamster mates, there ..... It is important when cleaning the cage to leave some of the old bedding/nesting material so when the hamster is returned to the cage it recognises it is "home". The home must be cleaned at least once a week by replacing the soiled bedding where necessary. Middle-sized hamsters, such as the Syrian Hamster, especially enjoy climbing the cage walls.
Hamsters are fairly neat in their bathroom habits if their enclosure is regularly cleaned. Carefresh and Megazorb are both examples of safe beddings. Hamsters can be kept both in cages and in terrariums, both of which are available in pet stores.
Some houses add features such as a removable roof that helps to take away collected food (especially perishable items). Litter made from recycled paper pulp works well to absorb odours and is safe for hamsters. Though they cannot see very far, hamsters become more relaxed and curious when positioned somewhat above the ground (at least 65 cm (2 feet)), from where they can perceive their surroundings.
Food Information Part 4No conifer wood must be fed since resin is poisonous for hamsters. Food and snacks containing molasses, honey, sugar, fruit sugar or other ..... A cage with loose bars should never be used as the hamsters will pull at these until they can squeeze through and make a dash for freedom. They tend to choose one small location in which to urinate and defecate, making cleaning simple.
