I wondering if anyone could help me.

For the signs of good health in a hamster i need to mention the P.T.R which is the pulse, temperature and respiration

I have already found out the temperature which is 36.2oC-37.5oC, but cant seem to find the respiration and pulse.

If anyone could help me i would be really greatful

The pulse is about 400 beats per second, and goes to around 5 if hibernating. What are you going to do take an infant stethoscope to pick out a pet?

I know I saw the per second, and was like holy crap, that can't be right, she must mean per minute. She probably realized that you meant per minute, per second would be way too fast.
