Happy Halloween

My teen daughter is an experienced hammy mom whose last winter white hammy passed peacefully of old age.

She finally felt ready for a new one, but the only winter white at the store looked a little older, definitely not a baby. She decided to bring him home anyway.

It’s been a week. He screams ( hisses? growls?) whenever anyone comes near him and won’t come to the surface, remaining buried in his being at all times (sneaking out for a second at night to grab food to take back to his hiding spot).

I know a week isn’t that long but at what point do we accept that he might not ever be social?

How do I convince my parents to buy me a hamster?

She's getting ready to make pumpkin spice lattes 🐹🎃☕️

So i got a female dwarf hamster about 2 weeks ago, left her alone for 72 hours, she was barely active since she was shy and nervous. Long story short when i introduced myself she wanted to already climb on my hand or tried escaping, and i put her back in the cage and she ran off fast and hid for hours. Days went by and shes active, happily foraging around me, i palm fed her twice and she did great. She also comes straight to me whenever i open the cage, but one thing. Just now she was awake, i opened the cage as she walked towards her sand bath and then ran off in fear to her chamber hideout? I mean she always comes to me gets onto my hand and she does act skittish and runs off fast ready to hide then looks back and goes back to foraging. So confused on her personality?

My hammie has been down w bacterial infection lately, so I’ve been giving her oral meds with some gel treats (so she takes it obediently muahaha).

Not sure if it’s because of the increased interaction (medicine/ “treat” administration time on top of usual playtime), but the past few days, she has been coming out of her hideout (albeit groggily) when i go near the cage.

Then she’ll lick me and give a light nibble before wanting back into cage 🥹🥹

AM I BEING LOVED BY MY HAMMIE 🥹🥹🥹🥹 Or does she just think im food lol

Inserting hammie pic. She’s Umaru hehe 💗

Це Сашко, і він обожнює свою сім'ю!

should I be concerned of miss cuddly whiskers sleeping like this?

I embedded this question in my last post but I figured this might be more efficient.

My new hamster, Fig, is 6 weeks old. I’m wondering if this is just a phase, or if she’s gonna be peeing in these spots forever unless I somehow “train” her. What do I do? I have a sand bath, but should I put a mini one in her chamber hide? And what do I do about the wheel peeing?

i feed my hammy every other day, and i’m just wondering if that’s okay because every time i look it up it tells me something different. he hoards a lot of his food also

He's taken up on sleeping out in the open lately, idk why

This weird slimy goo came out of this bump on the beginning of my hamster's tail we put some medicine on it and the medicine is hamster safe there's no vets available right now because of the hurricane so can anybody help me out and tell me what it is I discovered it whenever I softly pushed on it is it a tumor

So I saw that beginning of his tail and I softly pushed at it and green slimy goo came out of it and then it started bleeding I put some Neosporin on it but it's not getting better my dad is pretty good at veterinarian skills so we did whatever we really could for it I don't have any vets around the can take him in because of the hurricane

I was a bit worried that one side of my hamsters face looks swallowed I am planning on taking him to the vet but just want to know does it look like a lump or is it his pouch

Hiii guys! just got this lovely girlie today, she’s very tame and sweet. Don’t have a name so pls give suggestions!

Hiii

So i got a hammy like a week ago and i slowly try to tame her, i started with offering treats. She hesitated but reached for the treat and bit my finger, but she didnt hissed or anything, i dont know if it was an accident (like she missed the treat for my finger) or it was on purpose (i cant decide because she seemed chill about the situation, didnt showed stress or anything) whats your opinion? Shall i try another method to befriend her? If yes, what do you advise?

Thank you xoxo 🐹❤️
