My stepsister really wanted a hamster so my parents got her run. She's not living with us (only everyother weekends she comes over). So i'm basically taking care of it. I know NOTHING about hamsters.
The hamster is a male panda bear hamster. it is all black with two white spots and named Moonlight. Well it has a nice house (so that's taken care of) I just don't know what to do with it training wise. It always wants to go out. I let him out and run in his wheel for hours and I spend some time with him. But he never sits still (except one time when he was mesmerized by Hannah Montana. lol). I want to teach him how not to bite on the bars and to sit/stand still when i'm holding him. I also want to know the proper things to do things. Like holding him, training him, etc. One thing he does that's annoying is he'll always bite on the carpet. So what should I do?
I just got a hamster and I have NO clue what to do!?abtuvurys 2005
OK hamsters LOVE to chew. you can't train it not to chew on the bars because their teeth never stop growing and they need to chew things to keep them small. hamsters don't sit still because they just want to crawl around. if he has a running ball then put him in there for a while.
feed him every day (no lettuce!!!) hamsters love bananas, apples, celery, carrots, cucumber peelings, and other stuff. feed him a tiny bit of one of those fruits or veggies once a week, and mix PLAIN oatmeal with his hamster food. clean his cage once a week. hamsters need to be held every day, hold him like you think you would. he will be fine. give him fresh water every other day. i hope moonlight is OK!!!! and you can't stop him from chewing on the carpet.
