Hamster as a pet
If you have been wondering what it would be like to take
care of a hamster, then you have come to the right place. Keeping hamsters as
pets is easy, but it is a commitment of your time and resources.
For starters, hamsters take up very little space. They
require no more room than the amount of space required by a large fish tank.
Because of their tiny footprint, you can successfully keep hamsters as pets in
a tiny apartment or small house just as easily as you can in a large spacious
home.
Although hamsters are small, in order for you to own
hamsters, you will need to make a commitment of time and other resources.
Keeping hamsters as pets can require as much time and dedication as owning a
dog. Daily, you need to feed your pet and make sure it has clean water.
Several times a week, you need to clean out their toilets. Each day, you must
provide about an hour of playtime and interaction for you and your hamster. You
also must plan on thoroughly cleaning out their cages about once a week.
Hamster facts
Financially, you may spend as much money to care for a
hamster as you would spend on any other pet. While the initial expense of the
hamster is minimal, there is a not an insignificant investment on its home and
for supplies. Your hamster will eat only about a teaspoon of food a day.
You will need to keep a fresh supply of bedding material on hand. The largest
potential expense, however, may come from the veterinarian. Your hamster can
get sick like any other pet, and you must be prepared
If you want a small pet that you can cuddle, then you must
choose your hamster species carefully. The dwarf hamster species are not tame, are exceptionally fast, and can fit through and into
tiny spaces. The Roborovski been

Although hamsters hoard food, you cannot expect to leave
your pets alone in your home for over one or two days. These animals are
social creatures and will become distressed if they do not hear your voice regularly.
Another thing to keep in mind is that hamsters cannot
cool themselves once the temperature gets about 85°F (30°C). For this reason must keep them and their home below this temperature at all times.
One final note about keeping hamsters as pets is that these
animals are nocturnal or crepuscular. You must plan your interactions with
them either very early in the morning or late in the evening. You must
also keep them in the house in a location where they will not disturb your
sleep during the night.
Hamster pet
If a hamster dies a natural death in old age, then it
typically can live between 1 ½ and 3 years. Unfortunately, not every family's
pet lives that long because there is a multitude of important factors that can
cause premature death in a hamster.
For a pet hamster, probably the number one cause of early
death is trauma. How long a hamster lives in a family's home depends to a great
extent on how cautiously the hamster is handled what precautions are taken

after the escape occurs.

then everyone in the house needs to pay attention to where they are walking.

Next, family members must exercise great caution when using
furniture. Hamsters like to hide in small enclosed spaces. A shifted couch
could crush a hamster that is hiding between it and the wall. Similarly, the
household members should check underneath each cushion and in the crevices of
the furniture before they sit down. A small space can lead to death by
suffocation when a person's body weight is added
Finally, all laundry items must be shaken
So, as you can see, how long a hamster lives can depend on how adeptly hamster owners handle their pets and what precautions
they put in place if their pet hamster escapes.
