hey all! I've had my hairless Syrian hamster since the first of march and she's great! she's really friendly and likes to be held and played with...but i think she was old when i got her. so what do you have to do to make them live long and happy lives?
the set up i have it this cage (http://www.petplanet.co.uk/product.asp?d鈥?/a> but i though it wasn't quiet big enough, nor was there enough ventilation so i got a few more tunnles and connected a 10 gal tank with a SECURE screen on top to the cage for extra space. Also, i didn;t like the water bottle included with the OVO cage so i have a regular water bottle as well as a house/sleeping den in the tank. I use two different types of bedding. a corn-cob for the tank and main house in the OVO, then a softer carefresh bedding and ribbed up T.P. in the blue house and bed areas.
i clean the cage every week (more if it's eeded, but usually it isn't) and i take out the "bathroom" every two day. the cage doesn;t smell, but i do give her a quick bath every 2 or 3 weeks.
and she has a exercise ball that she gets to play in for like 15-20 minutes 2 or three times a day as well as an exercise wheel in her cage. she always has enough food and water and it;s always fresh and about once a week or so i give her something fresh (like some carrot or something)....so do you think this is a good set up?
is there anything else hamsters need? also, not sure if i said it or not, but she is a hairless and the size of a teddy bear hamster. thanks for reading!!|||I think your hamsters life is ok! But remember to provide chew toys for your hamster or provide home-made chew toys:
-wooden chopsticks
-ice-cream-sticks
-toilet paper rolls
And remember to play with him for at least twice a day.
Teddy bear hamsters life-span is about 2-3 years.
Hope this helps!|||You are really doing great with your hamster. I do try and give my hamster a little tiny piece of fresh veggies everyday. Carrot, parsley, cilantro, romaine lettuce, baby greens, small piece of apple, etc. She seems to love them. I also have one of those chew houses for her and she destroys one a month.|||What your doing sounds great your hamster is probably really happy!! But i give my hamster some VitaKraft drops the drops our like a little treat for my hamster and my hamster loves them!!
