My Lovely Hamsters

I have a lovely pet, my pet are hamsters. This is the first time I have a pet. At the first time it’s very strange because I must clean the cage and it’s very disgusting. Actually, I’m not good to care some pet, but I tried it and I want to know I can do it or not. 

First time I have a hamsters and the type is Dominant Campbell. This type is not good for people who afraid to touch the hamster. Campbell really loves biting. And when I bought it I never touch it because I’m afraid. When I cleaned the cage I move it into a box and I closed the box. First day it’s okay, nothing happen. Next day, I enjoy to had the pet and I always kept it, feed it. It was very funny when you see it eating. 

It needs some attention from us. We must see the drink bottle, never let it empty. The food are contain of sunflower seed, concentrate (rabbit food), fish food and some seeds that I don’t know the name. They were funny when they slept.

For their bed, sometimes we can use the sand or sawdust. For me the sand is better because it’s very cheap and you will not worry about the bad smell, it really helps you when you don’t have time to clean the cage. 

Not only seeds that I give to my hamster, but I also give some vegetables like carrot, ramble and bean. Never give them vegetables like spinach, lettuce or anything that have green color because it will make them get diarrhea. And if they got a sick it will be some dangerous things for us, because sometimes they can die. For the vegetables food we called it a snack for hamster, never give it every day to them because it’s not good. Only once or twice a week and it’s not waste your money because you can asked your mom or find it in refrigerator. 

My female hamster has white and brown fur and also with red eyes, when night come the eye look like a red lamp. The male hamster has white and grey fur with the black eyes. Both of them, the male are very love biting. He ever bites my finger and it was hurt. Twice a week I cleaned the cage. I bought them at July, 29 2011. I ever let the cage dirty for a week and the smell was very bad. 

I never think if my hamster will have a baby. At August, 10 2011 my hamster have a new baby. I was excited when I saw the baby because it was disgusting. I don’t know how to care the babies. I never had experience before. But I tried to browse some information in internet ‘How to care the baby hamster’ and I tried it, I only have one cage. I was confused because I read in internet that the mom and the babies must be separated with the dad. So, I put the mom and the babies in a shoes box.

I put sawdust in the box and put it in the place that dark and quite. The information said we couldn’t see them in many times because it will be dangerous for the mom, they can ate the baby. The baby is only two, I think it can be more, but it’s not. You can’t touch the babies till the age about 3-4 weeks. When I cleaned the box I will move the baby with spoon. 

Bad accident happen when the babies age about 3 weeks, the mom was gone she bite the box and make a hole. When it happened I was at school and my mom send me message. I was shocked and I want my mom to find where the mom is.  When I went home from school I tried to search it used flashlight and I can’t found it. At that day, I know that my hamster gone and the babies don’t have a mom they only have a dad. I really felt it I was sad and I want to cry ….

But, I looked the baby , they still can’t live by self. They still need milk from their mom. So, I search more information again about ‘How to care baby hamster without the mom’ they said we still can care them and we can give them with water and vitamin. I don’t know if hamster also need vitamin for their live. I bought the vitamin and I gave to the baby hamster in their drink bottle. 

But now, the dad and mom has gone, the mom went  away and the daddy I give it to my neighbor ….

So, this is very interesting challenge for me ….

I hope you will have more interesting experience about hamster ….
