The Do's and Don'ts of Hamster Handling

The Do's and Don'ts of Hamster Handling In this video we will cover the Do’s and Don’ts of handling your hamster. Hamsters, are by nature, afraid of anything that is not a hamster, including you. Your hamster can be trained to become accustomed to being handled and learn that humans can be friends too. First and foremost, unless your hamster is in pain (and needing medical attention), you should never startle a snoozing hamster. When aroused from a deep sleep, the hamster’s first instinct is to be defensive and protect itself from the intruder the only way it knows how; a big, nasty, painful hamster bite! Since hamsters have very poor eyesight, they depend primarily on their sense of smell and hearing to guide them. Tap on the cage, move the water bottle, and talk to him—be sure he is awake, alert and knows that he is in no immediate danger. Always wash your hands before handling a hamster—the odour of that last piece of chicken you ate may smell like a delicious tidbit instead of the hand of his loving owner and friend. Do talk to your hamster in a soft gentle voice. Do move slowly prior to and during the handling of your hamster. Do Wash hands prior to handling your hamster so your scent is always the same. Do allow your hamster to smell your hand so they know what is intruding into their domain. Do allow your hamster to calm down if they are afraid at first. Do be patient; hamster confidence is not built in a day Don’t make quick or jerky movements, a startled hamster is a defensive hamster. Don’t make loud noises, their sense of hearing is acute. Don’t let your hamster fall from great heights. Don’t pick up your sleeping hamster. Good luck training your hamster! The results of your patience and care will be worth every moment spent gaining your hamster’s trust. And as a responsible hamster owner, make sure that you have pet insurance in case your cute hamster needs an operation. Simply Google the Best Pet Insurance companies and compare the various premiums. If you look, you'll find a pet insurance plan you can afford. Pet insurance should be arranged for all your pets at home to prevent stress for both you and your animals.
