My hamster, Millie 3 months old doesn't sleep in her enclosure and sleeps on me , this is happening this whole week .Is this normal?

I've had my hamster for about a month now and we get along really well.

I know the hamsters only bite when they feel scared or threatened but I've noticed that every time I'm holding my hamster. He likes to gently nip me. It's very gentle and it doesn't hurt at all. My hamster likes to climb onto my hand so I know that it trusts me. It only bit me really hard once and I was bleeding for a little bit but that's my bad because I spooked it. But it only gently nips me now

Hello, I know some people may bash me here for saying " on budget" and talk to me about not getting a pet that I can't afford but I don't really care. I rescued my hamstet about 2 months ago from my aunt that was to throw him outside because he was an accidental litter. He's bin living in a large plastic garden bin (clear) with a mesh top lid. I know that's an odd choice but it's all I could afford at the time. Problem is, he's escaped twice already, no matter what I do. And I am looking for something for 100€ or less. I know I'm gonna get bashed but I can't afford anything else at this moment. I just want him to have a good life. I know hamster owners are usually against barred cages but would a 100x50 or a 120x50 barred cage be ok? That's usually all that is in my budget. Or, if you have any other reccomendations please lmk x I'm in Europe btw. Sooo no amazon.

before i start cleaning up the cage i had to find him first…. think i woke him up…

My boy has decided it’s fun to follow me around my flat does your hammie do this?

I went to wash my hands left the door a jar told him I’d be back in a second an there he was sat having a wash near my feet, an then came following me back out. He be like a dog I’m thinking. 🤔

I recently got a Syrian Hamster(Male) and he is around 2 months old. I got a cage for him whatever the lady at PetSmart suggested. But I feel like that cage is not enough spacious. I need something bigger. Can you recommend some good hamster cages for Syrians with 2 floors and enough space for them to roam around? Feel free to share links.

Also, I am feeding him a mix between oxbow’s peletted food(as suggested by Petland employee) and Sunburst (since internet said it’s the best). Is it a good diet and what else can I feed him?

my hamster kinda like, "gags" (like a person would) and pukes out like a poop, like he puts it in his mouth on the part and eats it and gags it out?? it's kinda weird help

Hi I never had a dark hamster before, wondering if the thinner fur spots his face are cause for concern or not. Maybe it is normal since when borrowing they use their snout but this is not as noticeable on a light colored hamster? He behaves normally. Any one have a dark hamster that looks similar?

I have been feeling really guilty about my hamsters passing and I can't seem to come to terms with it. On thanksgiving my bunny Teddy had to be rushed to the hospital and almost died of septic shock, but luckily we were able to save him. For the past couple of days I have been so worried about Teddy that I have not had a lot of time to spend with my hammy Chunk other than feeding him and giving him water. Two nights ago I saw him running around his cage so I thought he was completely fine, until I woke up yesterday morning and went to take him out to play but when I touched him he was cold and stiff. He must have died either early that morning or late the previous night in his sleep and I am heartbroken. He was a year and 8 months old, so I understand he lived within the average lifespan of a hamster, but I can't help but feel guilty because I didn't get to say goodbye or give him any love before he passed. He was my first ever pet that was truly only mine that I didn't share with anyone else and I am taking it really hard. He brought me the most joy I have ever felt in my life and I feel so lost without him. We would always cuddle in bed together, eat dinner together, and hangout multiple times everyday. He was honestly the kindest animal I have ever met, he never bit anyone and was the most loving hamster I have ever seen. He was always willing to snuggle in a blanket and loved getting his pets which he would chatter to. I just feel like I didn't get to say goodbye because he was never even sick so I would have never known he was going to pass so soon. He died so suddenly and I am just still in shock about his passing. I just hate that he died alone, without his mom. I can't even stop crying and whenever I try to distract myself, it never works. We buried him this morning and I fixed him a little bed in his box made out of cotton balls, a blanket, and some tissues to make it look like he was just sleeping. Every picture in my mind has either been of when I found him after he passed or when he was just a little baby curled up in my arms. I guess all i'm trying to say is that I feel so guilty even though I know I shouldn't. He was just my baby and I loved him more than anything, but I hope he knew how loved he was when he passed. I just wish I had one last moment with him just to make sure he knew how loved he was...

I think you were waiting for me…Your little body was rising and falling as you breathed, but not long after I arrived, you stopped. You must have been waiting for me… Goodbye, my little one. I won’t keep hamsters anymore… It breaks my heart every time. Thank you for bringing me so much happiness. I love you. Rest peacefully now, free from pain. 🐹😢❤️

So it’s December it’s obviously getting colder now my hamster has always had room temperature purified water and it’s getting colder so the water is getting cold obviously is that healthy for my hamster

If Susan Microwave would be a bit more patient she'd learn that her big house got taken away because she's getting a whole hide and toy upgrade later this week

I got this cage off another person who said it was barely used and still brand new, I collected it and their whole house smelt like cigarettes and alcohol, the cage had lizard piss all over it (they housed a lizard in this) and it was filthy, now it has this gross cigarette smell to it

What’s the best solution to get rid of the smell

This is only day 4/5

Our hamster will take a treat from our fingers every time. Yet when we hold him to do a little clean. (He keeps weeing on the plastic so we try clean it up asap). He also has only been on his wheel once and never touched it again

1. How can we tame him?

2. How can we get him to stop weeing on the top plastic bit?

3. How can we get him on the wheel?
