Erin please help I'm crying right now my hamster is a Syrian hamster got her a week ago she does not take the treats off me and left her to settle in for four days and she feels threatened she opens her mouth and bears her teeth and squeaks I'm worried should I take her to the vet?

Thats not a vet issue, you just need to be more patient. Most hamsters will not be tamed in a week. It can take several weeks or even several months to gain their trust and tame them. Just keep practising, don't rush her and be very, very patient :)

Hey Erin. Is it okay to be waking up my hamster during the day to give exercise or should I be waiting until the night to be taking him out when he's already up? Thanks a lot! :)

You should wait until your hamster wakes up on its own :) Just think how you would feel if someone woke you in the middle of the night to go down the gym :P

Help Erin my syrian has one red eye and one black I got him a week ago and petsathome offer free vet check after two week and I've to contact them should I??

Kaye Serkes
Don't worry thats a rare but normal condition, your hamster just has slightly different genetics that has caused its eyes to be different colours. It won't affect him at all :)

Hi Erin can you do pushout the hamster vids for a week and give some bunny info please?

Aishah Mohd Hatta
Its a hamster care channel not a rabbit care channel, my viewers are there for the hamsters I can't give them videos they don't want. If you want rabbit videos you will have to watch BudgetBunny or 101Rabbits :)

Hi Erin, well since you know about hamsters I wanted to ask: since Syrian hamsters are to be kept in large cages and they are nocturnal, is there a hamster that is not too small but can be kept in a "small cage" and it's active at day and sleeps at night? If so which one? And do you recommend it?

No there are no hamsters like this, hamsters are all crepuscular or nocturnal. The smaller species of hamster also need larger cages than Syrian because they have a lot more energy so a Syrian cage is consider as 'average' size for a hamster and not large. There are no smaller cage options that this sorry.

Hi Erin, I was wondering if you could help us? Our hamster Sandi is in a cage that is way to small for her but she always seems to panic in the bin cage, we introduced her to it slowly and started increasing the time but we don't think its working. Any ideas?

A hamster who has always lived in a small space will need lots of time to adapt to a new home. Just make sure you provide lots of hideaways and covered areas and give him time to adjust. It might take a couple of weeks but as soon as she realises it's safe she will be more confident in herself :)

My dwarf hamster developed a scab on her side. Is it okay? I'm really worried..

A scab should heal in a few days but if it becomes red, hot to the touch, begins leaking fluids or starts irritating your hamster then she will need to go to the vet

I'm about to buy a hamster, what sex do you suggest?

Emma_Fin’s Profile PhotoEmma C Finlayson
Chose your hamster by its personality, watch how it behaves and see how it interacts with you. That's the best way to chose a hamster as their sex does not always mean they will behave a certain way :)

Hey Erin, are winter whites happier with a partner? Like I just want two females or does it have to be male and female?

Shane lee
They can be just as happy in singles or pairs :) If you had a pair they would have to be the same sex, you can't put males and females together, they will always breed.
