The hamster is a very cute-looking pet. Give it a cage and it will climb around everywhere, which makes it very endearing. Many people like to buy a few and keep them at home. So how much does a small hamster cost? How do you raise it so it won't die?

1. Introduction to hamsters:

1. What do hamsters eat?

Hamsters are omnivorous and can eat pine nuts, sunflower seeds, peanuts, apples, grapes, pears, papaya, blueberries, bananas, figs, kiwi fruit, strawberries, star fruit and more. They also eat cabbage, carrots, cucumber and so on, so there is no worry about them having nothing to eat.

2. Will keeping a hamster give you plague?

Keeping a hamster will not give you plague. This is because plague can only be transmitted when there is infection with the pathogen, and ordinary domestic pets do not carry plague. However, if it is a wild rodent carrying plague, then it may be present, so you need to be careful when you come into contact with one.

2. How much does a small hamster cost?

The price of small hamsters varies. The cheap ones cost a few yuan each, while the expensive ones cost around 200 yuan each. Specifically, prices differ to some extent depending on breed, quality and place of origin. For example, first-line (Campbell's dwarf) hamsters cost about 5-15 yuan each, wild third-line (winter white dwarf) hamsters cost about under 5 yuan, and purple hamsters cost about 5-10 yuan each. Ordinary silver fox hamsters cost about 5-20 yuan each, premium silver fox hamsters cost about 30-50 yuan each, ordinary pudding hamsters cost about 15-35 yuan each, premium ones cost about 50-80 yuan each, and white grandmother (Roborovski) hamsters cost about 150-200 yuan each. So the specific price still needs to be checked at your local market. The above prices are for reference only, and the actual local market price shall prevail.

3. How do you raise a small hamster so it won't die?

1. Small hamsters are active, so before raising one, it is best to go to a specialty market and buy a cage. Inside the cage, it is best to have a water bottle, food bowl, little house, chew stone, running wheel, slide, climbing rope and so on, to make it easy for the hamster to move around.

2. After buying the cage, you can spread a layer of wood shavings, dry grass or unprinted paper scraps on the bottom, then put in a little soil, and spread some dry materials such as wood shavings on top, so that it can dig burrows and make a nest.

3. Small hamsters love cleanliness, so you should clean the water bottle, food trough and cage at regular intervals to keep the inside of the cage clean.

4. Small hamsters are not picky about food. Generally, giving them some apple, pear, sunflower seeds, peanuts, pine nuts, cabbage and so on is fine. As for water, try to feed cooled boiled water, and at the same time avoid the water bottle leaking. If it leaks, clean it up promptly to avoid illness.

5. After raising a small hamster for some time, it needs a bath, so you can build a bathing room in the cage and put some bathing sand inside to make it convenient for the hamster to bathe. After bathing, clean the toilet to keep it clean.

Overall, small hamsters vary in price. The cheap ones cost a few yuan, and the expensive ones cost over a hundred yuan each, depending on which kind you buy and where you buy it. For a hamster you bring home, you should first buy a special cage, then set up a running wheel, slide, wood shavings, food trough, water bottle and so on, to provide it with a good living environment.
