Question by maddie: How long do you keep baby hamsters with the mom and how long is the gestation period for a Dwarf hamster?
We just had and unexpected litter of hamsters they are at least 2 weeks old.How long do they need to be in the same cage as mom?They are eating regular food and drinking water and running up and down the ladders of the cage.
Also how long is the gestation period for the momma?We didnt get the daddy out of the cage until at least 2 days after we noticed the babies.We believe the momma may be pregnant again she has gotten very big , the first batch of babies are 2 weeks old.How old are they when they start to mate?

Answer by H P
I found in a page that they need to be separated as soon as they get hair and coming out of the nest. You need to separate them all since they will breed with each other. The mother most probably is pregnant already.

Differences between Long Haired & Short Haired Syrians and Teddy Bear Hamsters?

Question by Emerson: Differences between Long Haired & Short Haired Syrians and Teddy Bear Hamsters?
I am interested in getting a long haired or short haired syrian or a Teddy Bear Hamster. Orginially, I merely wanted a Syrian hamster, but I didn’t realize there were different types of Syrian hamsters! What are the differences between the three? Ex: Size, personalities, activeness, etc. and which would you recommend? Thanks so much!

Best answer:

Answer by Andy D
Well first off long haired syrian hamsters are teddy bear hamsters, just two different names for them.
The only difference between long haired Syrians and short haired ones is grooming. Long haired Syrian hamsters should be groomed 2-3 times per week to avoid clotting of fur, and to get things out of their fur that can stick in (bedding, feces etc).
The only size difference is from the puffiness of the fur, nothing else. No noticeable personality / activeness on the whole. Remember every hamster is different, but these types aren’t.

How Long Do Hamsters Live?

How long hamsters live depends on a variety of factors.

The first factor is genetics. Some hamsters simply have longer life expectancies than others. For example, Roborovski hamsters tend to live longer than the other hamster species.

The second factor is vulnerability to predators. Many hamsters in the wild die an early death because they become a satisfying meal for an owl, hawk, or other raptor. In captivity, as long as cats are kept away from a pet, this is unlikely to happen.

The third factor is trauma. How long hamsters live in captivity can be seriously reduced if they are subjected to traumatic events. These include being dropped; being stepped on; being crushed by furniture, either because it moves and crushes them or because someone sits on top of a cushion under which they are hiding; being electrocuted if they chew through the cords of common household items, such as lamps; being drowned when put into the washing machine with the dirty clothes in which they were hiding; dying of exposure if left outside; or dying due to overheating if their cages are exposed to direct sunlight or other sources of heat (if these descriptions are making you cringe, then use that as a guide as to how to proceed the next time that your hamster escapes).

A third factor is disease. How long hamsters live depends on their not contracting a deadly disease. Hamsters, by nature, are rather healthy animals. They are susceptible to several diseases, and some of these are deadly. Of the more common diseases, probably the worst disease that hamsters can get is called wet tail. It is called this because it describes the appearance of a hamster with this disease. The hamster gets a terrible case of diarrhea and the feces end up being smeared all over the anal area.

Wet tail has two causes. The first is due to a bacterium called Lawsonian intracellularis. The bacteria invade the cells of the ileum, causing them to become inflamed, which is a condition called enteritis. If the intestines do not work, then food is not digested, and instead is passed as diarrhea. The hamster gets no nutrients and dies.

A second cause of wet tail is a bacterium called Clostridium difficile. This is a one-celled organism that is typically present in all healthy intestines – even in those of humans. (In fact, Clostridium difficile is more of a problem for humans than it is for hamsters!). In healthy intestines, only about 3% of the bacteria population is composed of Clostridium difficile. When a hamster (or human) is given antibiotics, then all of the bacteria die, not just the healthy ones. Clostridium difficile, however, can form spores that are impervious to the antibiotics. With no competition in the intestine from other bacteria, Clostridium difficile will multiply rapidly. Then they will release toxins that cause pain, bloating, and diarrhea. It can also cause a severe infection in the colon.

If a hamster avoids all of these causes of death (and others), and dies naturally of old age, then it can live from 18 months to up to 3 years.

What Are The Long Black Sticks In Hamster Food?

Question by BuddhaForKerry: What Are The Long Black Sticks In Hamster Food?
I have a hamster mix for my syrian hamster, and she always avoids the black stick-like things in her food. Because it’s a mix I don’t know specifially what they are. Does anyone know so I can avoid buying anything similar to them seperately? Thank you x

Answer by Madison Maxwell
umm, i dont know. If its black, it might be a seed. But if its brown its just a little pellet for their vitamins. My hamster avoids those the most. But yes you can buy them seperatley.
