    Extractions: © 2002 Whim Whams Illustration Studio Hamsters were living in relative obscurity until just 70 years ago, when a zoologist discovered a family of these rodents in the Syrian desert. Today, hamsters' friendly nature and adaptability have placed them among America's most popular small pets. To learn how to fulfill the special needs of these cuddly creatures, follow the suggestions below. Set up House When putting together a hamster's living quarters, consider the animal's natural habitat. In the wild, hamsters live underground, emerging under cover of darkness to search for food. Domestic hamsters still prefer the "night shift," so it's best to house them in a quiet, dimly lit room away from drafts, direct sunlight, and noisy animals. An aquarium that holds at least ten gallons is usually suitable for hamsters, as long as the top of the tank allows for proper ventilation. A fine-mesh screen will do the trick, but make certain it's fastened securely to keep curious hamsters from attempting an escape. (Avoid the colorful plastic rodent homes sold in pet supply stores, as they are difficult to clean and offer easy escape routes.) Want to learn more?

    Extractions: Whereas owners of pet rabbits have ready access to quality pelleted, commercial rabbit feed, owners of small rodents must obtain feed from the array of colorful boxes of food and supplements at the pet store. Included among these feed may be seed mixtures, seeds mixed with vitamin and mineral pellets (often ignored by the pet), hay cubes, pelleted complete diets, salt blocks, pieces of chewable wood, and a variety of treat foods that lure the unsuspecting buyer because those treats resemble the snack foods preferred by pet owners. Of most pet rodent feeds available, only the pelleted, complete diets (with at least 16 percent quality protein) have use as primary diets. The standard pelleted, complete diets may be fed to the Old World rodents: hamsters, gerbils, mice, and rats. The recommended diet for these pet rodents, therefore, is a reasonably fresh pellet incorporating essential nutrients, containing at least 16 percent crude protein, with the box labeled "meets NRC requirements" or a similar message. Conventional (natural ingredient) pet animal diets produced by reputable companies usually contain adequate balanced nutritional components, but even those diets can be altered by damp, heat, oxidation, and vermin contamination. Owner-compounded diets, on the other hand, are more likely than are commercial products to lack certain trace nutrients, to be unbalanced, or to be contaminated with bacteria or mold.

    Extractions: How to care for a pet hamster BUYING A PET HAMSTER: Pet stores are usually decent sources for hamsters. There are many varieties: regular and dwarf, short-hair and long-hair (i.e. "teddy bear hamsters"), and they'll come in several colors. As with most pets, try to choose animals that have bright, clear eyes and seem active. Hamsters are nocturnal, however, so some of them may be asleep when you visit the store. Obviously you should avoid animals that have runny discharges from either end, bald patches on their fur, or seem to be moving unsteadily or with a limp. bodyOffer(198) Your hamster is going to need a home to live in, food to eat, and bedding to sleep on (or rather, in). All of these should be at the same store. Metal cages are preferable over aquariums, since they allow for more ventilation. You can choose from a number of different beddings. Wood shavings are generally fine for hamsters. If you have a shredder, you can put paper shreds in as well. (Avoid newspaper entirely, as the ink can rub off, and you'll end up with a very black, and possibly very sick, animal). Once you have the basics, you can get extras for your new pet. Wheels are a good choice, so that your hamster can exercise. Be forewarned that a hamster can chew through a thin plastic wheel. However, it can also get its feet caught in the rungs of the metal kind, so if you can, try to get wheels that are solid (no spokes) and are fairly thick and sturdy. You should also get chew sticks for your hamster to gnaw on; it is an instinctive behavior for them, since their teeth grow throughout their life. Try wedging a stick through the bars of the cage, in a corner, rather than just putting them on the floor. In addition, hamsters will appreciate something they can hide in, whether it's a little store-bought plastic house or the cardboard tube from a roll of toilet paper.

    Extractions: I. Hamsters: Housing INDEX Your hamster's cage is his home, sweet homeand it's up to you to make sure it's spacious and sturdy, and is kept as comfy and clean as possible. A well-made cage and accessories are the most important investments you'll make for your pet. When selecting a cage, keep in mind the golden rule of happy hammy housing. Syrian hamsters, also known as teddy bear hamsters, prefer their own turf and MUST live alone. Dwarf hamsters, on the other hand, like to live in pairs. When you know the species of your pet, you can properly pick out his or heror theirdigs. Either way, there will be a variety of cages to choose from. A ten-gallon aquarium with a mesh cover makes a cozy, easy-to-clean home for hamsters of all kinds. Wire cages are great, too, just be sure that the space between the bars is small enough to prevent your pet from escaping. If you've decided that wire's the way to go, be sure the bottom is plastic. Wire bottoms can be tough on sensitive hamster feetand besides, the plastic will be a lot easier to keep clean. All-plastic cages with tubes, tunnels and hideaways are also an optionand are great fun for hamsters. However, they usually cost more and are much harder to maintain. Dwarf hamsters in particular may have trouble climbing up and down the tubes, but you can help your little guys out by putting a thin tree branch in the tubes for them to climb. Take extra-special care when deciding on a location for the cage. Your hamster's home should be situated away from direct sunlight and drafts. And remember, these fuzzy fellows are nocturnal, so you may want to think twice before setting up the cage in a bedroomunless you don't mind being awakened at 3 A.M. by a busy hamster hard at play. And since your pet will be sleeping during the day, he'll do best if the cage is in a dimly lit area without too much noise or traffic.

    http://www.animaland.org/asp/petcare/hamster411.asp
    
    Extractions: The most common pet hamster is the Syrian hamster. If you have one of these hammies, he's a descendant of the first hamsters captured from the wild in 1930. Syrians are sometimes called golden hamsters, because of their honey-colored fur, which can be long or short, silky or fluffy. Syrian hamsters like to live alone and prefer their own turf. If you put two in one cage, very soon they will begin to chatter their teeth at each other and start to fight. Battles can be fierce! This little guy is the most common dwarf hamster available in pet stores. Dwarf hamsters look pleasantly plump and like to live in pairsbut you must introduce them when they're young. As a rule, don't put a new hammy in with a group who've been living together, or with an adult who's used to living alone. Another dwarf species is the Winter White Russian hamster (Phodopus sungorus), also known as the Siberian hamster. He's gray, but sometimes turns completely snowy white during the winter. Roborovsky's hamster (Phodopus roborovski) is the smallest dwarf hamster kept as a pet. This little guy is about two inches long but can live three to four years. Even smaller is the Chinese hamster, who's about the size of a mouse.

    Extractions: Mice and Rats ... Health Problems of Pocket Pets Pocket Pets include guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats. The care of each of these pets is similar. Each require a roomy, safe cage appropriate for their size and climbing habits. The cage can be bedded with wood shavings or shredded paper and food should be supplied in suspended feeders or heavy crocks that can't be tipped. It is best to accustom these pets to drink from a water bottle with a sipper tube to prevent water from spilling in the cage. Guinea Pigs Guinea pigs are native to the Andes Mountains of South America, but are commonly seen here as pets and research animals. They are related to chinchillas and porcupines. Guinea pigs make excellent pets if handled gently and seldom bite. They can be housed in a large aquarium or other open top enclosure as they seldom climb. They are best kept at 65-79 F. Guinea pigs are fed commercial pellets. Because they, like humans need vitamin C, they can be fed one small handful of kale or cabbage or one quarter orange daily. Lifespan: 4-5 years Litter Size: Breeding Onset: Male 3-4 months Gestation Period: 59-72 days Female 2-3 months Weaning Age: 14-21 days Hamsters Hamsters are members of the rodent family and are related to wild golden hamsters from the middle east where they live solitary lives in deep burrows. They are generally nocturnal. Hamsters are best kept alone and are usually gentle if handled carefully. Many acceptable hamster cages with tunnels and wheels are available at pet stores. They should be fed a commercial hamster diet or rodent chow with about 16% protein and 4-5% fat.
