Ok, This Is My Second Post Of The Day But I Need To Solve This Problem:

* My Ham Is Acting Very Weird... Well... She Is Very Active Even In The Day ( She Is In Her Wheel All The Day And She Climb The Cage) And I Don't See That She Is Sleeping. She Eat A Lot And Today When I Open The Cage To Take The Food Dish She Came To My Hand And Bited Me! Me Finger Started To Blood Very Much :( I Don't Know How To Solve This And I'm So Worry...

Where is her cage located? When did you get her?

First of all, do a spell check before posting.

Second, don't stick your hand in there. It is her "territory" and she will think you are an invader and threat; it will scare her.

I always get mine out with a big tube or deep cup and let them walk on my hand when they want to.

She's Located In My Room (in The Floor To Be Exactly) And I Have It For 21 Days.

How old is she? She is just fine you are getting worked up over nothing. Oh and does your username have anything to do with "Teen Titans?"

[azarathzinthos]

[yodelinghamster]

[azarathzinthos]

Coool!!!! Hahaha!!! :d

Yea, your hamster is fine, nothing is wrong with her!! You just either startled her, your hand was near food, or she was protecting her territory!

Nothing is wrong!

Ok Thank You So Much For The Help :) ... She's In A New Cage ( More Big ) But I Want To Buy More Hams To Accompany Her But I Really Don't Know What Kind Of Hamster Is Her ( Hehe ) And The Pics That I Have Isn't In Great Quality Because Is From My Celphone. So What Can I Do????? :p

Ok, first off, Syrian hamsters love to be alone, they CANNOT have a cage mate or they will kill it. Syrians are large, they can grow to be 7 inches, and they DO NOT have a line down their back.

Here are two pictures of Syrian hamsters:

Dwarf hamsters CAN have a cage mate or two. They DO have a line down their back, and they usually have a white underbelly.

Here are two pictures of two DIFFERENT types of dwarves:

Thank you so much for asking us BEFORE buying a cage mate. Now I want you to tell me which one of these photos looks more like your hamster. Thanks for asking and ask anymore questions if you need to!

THIS IS THE INLY IMAGE IF HER THAT I HAVE :( BUT SHE'S SO CUTE!!!

[dwankrista]

your ham is a syrian. if you get her a cagemate she will kill it. syrians are solitary animals and prefer to be alone. please do not get her a friend!

[azarathzinthos]

Ok Tha, But... If I Want To Breed Her How Can I Do It?

[PetLuver21257]

Please, DO NOT BREED SYRIAN HAMSTERS!!
Syrian hamsters can have 17 or more babies! Here is a picture of a litter ONE mother had:

Please, DO NOT BREED SYRIAN HAMSTERS!!

Since they are solitary animals, each of the babies would need a separate cage. If you kept 10 of the babies, this is how much it would cost:

Wheel- $4 x 10 =$40
Water Bottle- $5 x 10 =$50
Food Bowl- $4 x 10 =$40
Wooden Houses- $7 x 10 =$70
FOOD bag- $7 x about 3 a month = $28 A MONTH
Bedding- $7 x about 2 a month = $14 A MONTH
Cages- $25 x 10 = $250
And the list goes on and on, so if my calculations are correct, you would have to spend about (on the first month)

$492 NOT INCLUDING TAX!

Do not breed syrians, not a good idea at all, unless you have the time, and a ton of money to do that! Please don't!

Hahaha Ok Tha For The Tip!! Hahaha :)

Ok, lol just thought that you would like to know!
