Out of all the kids select what with dry hair, shiny eyes and a clean, wet nose. That there was no murder, homok need to settle alone. In a cage put branches of fruit trees to have your pet's healthy teeth. And so he is not bored, "vygulivala" his apartment is in a special balloon�
Son tearfully begged all summer I have some kind of animal. I have long thought him to buy that fluffy was, and space is not occupied, and care required minimum and was cheaper. The conclusion suggests itself - hamster. The truth was daunted by the fact that we live hamsters long - only 2-3 years, and the baby can survive for a pet. But we can safely settle in splendid isolation, because they are by nature loners.
Solved - made. Now we live in a brown fluffy ball, which is funny hides food for the "cheeks" and riding around the apartment in "homecare". Helped us to choose and talked about how to care for, breeder Djungarian hamsters Maria Streltsov and veterinarian Irina Savinova.
Choice
Take the animal is not under the age of 4 weeks: at this age, they are independent and can easily get used to the new environment.
Carefully inspect future pet: the coat should be no bald patches, clean and dry, the same goes for butt; eyes shining, without suppuration; the nose is moist, clean. Holes and scars on the ears is a result of fights with dangerous diseases they are not connected.
Mostly found 3 main breeds of hamsters. Syria - the largest, are, as a rule, in cream, white and brown tones. They are very peaceful, easily domesticated. However, very Grazuciu.
Jungar and sungarskie hamsters do not differ from each other is brown-gray with stripes on the back, like chipmunks. The only difference between these breeds that "Dzungaria" a little larger and more aggressive than "songwrite". But they are more awake during the day and behind them more interesting to watch.
Tame hamster
In the first days after arrival in the house this fluffy lumps do not bombard him with their attention. Start its domestication only when he poolfitness.
The first step is to thoroughly wash your hands so that they did not smell the food, otherwise the hamster may bite. Can RUB them on his bed to make home smelled a familiar smell. At first, every day stringing him in the palm of the pieces of food, after a while he will omelet and will take it myself.
The next stage is reach out his hand, allowing the animal for her to climb, but in any case not grab him against his will: it may hurt to snap, and the location you experience will be. At first, taking him in his arms, give him something delicious and cover with the other hand, that he felt in "the burrow". Then you can flip it back and stroke his tummy. When the hamster gets used, it will be really like.
Depending on the nature of the pet, its domestication may take from a week to a month.
Movement is life
Hamsters are very important to move a lot, or they may even die from obesity. Because necessarily let his homco for a walk in a special ball and put in a cage wheel. Also in pet stores sell special folding cages, in which you can release your animal.
Nutrition
A day hamsters enough 2 tbsp. dry the grain mixture. Be sure the cell should be a stick, covered with grains: it is not only nutritious, but also helps to grind down the teeth. You also need to give fresh greens, vegetables and fruits, except citrus and kiwi: they have a lot of acids that hamsters are contraindicated. Occasionally feed hamster pieces of boiled chicken and small meat bones. You can occasionally indulge insects, for example, Anacom. In time removed from the cell rests of food, so it does not disappear. Contraindicated soft foods (porridge, cottage cheese, bananas): remain in the cheek pouches and decompose there.
Disease
Most hamsters suffer from injuries: wrong taking or dropping the animal, you can break his foot or severely hurt. More often hamsters eat fabric or foam rubber, gnawing holes in the sofas and carpets. They fear and drafts: from hypothermia can be an inflammation of the lungs. Hamachek can be a carrier of fleas, ticks, worms and other parasites, therefore be sure to wash your hands after dealing with him and when you bite treat the wound with antiseptics. In any case, do not treat yourself, if you see that with the hamster something wrong (sad, not out of the house, pulling the foot). Immediately contact your veterinarian.

Cell place away from drafts, outdoor solar lights, batteries and radios (hamsters can not stand the background noise). If you do not want the furniture was damaged, do not put an iron cage next to the bed or curtains: animals can otgruzhat from them the pieces to build the nest.
On the floor of the "house" sprinkle sawdust (preferably deciduous trees), not Newspapers hamsters can chew, and in printing ink contains harmful chemicals. Place the bundle of hay, from which the animal will twist their nest, and branches of fruit trees - she will gnaw. In the cell must also be a house: you can buy ready-made or tailor an ordinary clay pot for flowers, widening the entrance to 4-5 cm, so that the hamster could get out there.
