Our
site covers a lot of information on dwarf hamsters and you can obtain
information from reading the articles, however we have included some
of the most common asked questions here.
Can
I have more than one?
Yes you can, and we would actually recommend it especially if you are
buying Robo dwarf hamsters as these is very sociable creatures.
However it would not be recommended to have more than two as this can
lead to fighting. One hamster is still perfectly acceptable as long
as you can provide adequate stimulation in the form of toys and
exercise.
How
long will my hamster live?
Generally
dwarf hamsters will live from anywhere between 2 to 3 years; however
it is not unheard of for a dwarf hamster to live for 4. They
typically have a longer life span than their cousins the Syrian
hamsters.
How
can I tell what sex my hamster is?
The
hamsters have two openings on their underside and the female’s
openings will be close together and the males will be further apart.
The best way is to look and see if you can clearly see two openings;
if you can then you have a male. If it is more difficult to decipher
then you have a female. Sometimes they are so close together it
actually looks as though they only have one.
Are
they easy to tame?
Yes
and no is the answer to that. They are not difficult in terms of how
you tame them, however it does require patience. If you have your
dwarf hamster from an earlier age then you are more likely to be
successful as they have not got into the habit of being scared of
humans.
Can
I place my dwarf hamster with my other hamsters?
No
most definitely not, they are not to be mixed at all as the larger
varieties of hamster bully and most likely kill your hamster, they
are not to be placed together and should be kept separate at all
times.
