Choosing and buying a hamster

In order to decide which hamster will suit you best, you should visit many pet shops, because the choice of these animals is quite large. The characteristics of the different species should also be considered. Think about what kind of hamster will ideally suit your needs, what gender it should be - male or female, or maybe you want to have a parka. What kind and ointment should it be.

If you decide to buy a hamster, it is best to go to the zoo shop, rather in the afternoon, because that's when the hamsters wake up and it's easier to observe them. The shop we visit should be characterized by general cleanliness and cleanliness of rooms where animals are just staying. When choosing a hamster, let's be guided by its behaviour and appearance. A hamster that is healthy is neat, clean, has a shiny and dry coat, clean skin without any changes.

The hamster should also not be scratched or bitten. His ears should be sterile and his eyes should be glossy and convex, they shouldn't be glued together, they shouldn't have purulent exudate. The nose should be dry and without exudates. The hamster should never be indifferent, it must be alert and responsive to every move. The hamster you choose should be packed in a cardboard box with holes. During transport, be very careful with the box and its contents. In the future, you can also buy a transporter to transport such animals. Even if you buy a single pet, you should know your pet's sex. This affects the characteristics of the animal's character and behaviour.

Females are more temperamental than males and are usually more aggressive. Some hamsters like jungle hamsters can be kept in pairs, but only if they are brothers and sisters from the same litter or if they have been joined together at an early age. They should not be separated, even for a short time, because then the most important distinguishing mark, which is the smell, will be missing. But even siblings will bite, take food or drive it out of the nest after some time, then they should be separated and separate rooms should be provided. Before deciding on a hamster, let's consider what species and gender it should be, and whether we want one animal or a park, this will help us to avoid unpleasant situations at a later stage.

To sum up, a hamster that is healthy is neat, clean, has a shiny and dry coat, clean skin without any changes. The hamster should also not be scratched or bitten. His ears should be sterile and his eyes should be glossy and convex, they shouldn't be glued together, they shouldn't have purulent exudate. The nose should be dry and without exudates. The hamster should never be indifferent, it must be alert and responsive to every move.
