About Katie
Expertise
I can answer general questions on care for hamsters, I have an extensive knowledge for syrian hamsters. I can answer questions about weird behaviors in hamsters, such as eating habbits, sleeping more frequently, or abnormal habbits. I can answer questions on breeding hamsters as well. I can not answer questions on medications for hamster and gerbils, I would advise that they you take your pet to a vet, but that is about the only question I can not answer.

Experience
I have had hamsters for quite some time now. At this time I have had one hamster have babies and I am planning on another batch in late May. I have experienced the death of hamsters as well. At this moment I have one that is one his way out. He will not make it to morning. UPDATES: Another hamster of mine has given birth to fifteen happy healthy babies.

Gerbils & Hamsters - difference


Expert: Katie - 1/1/2008

Question
is there difference between dwarf hamsters and regular hamsters?
Which do you reccomend if im only getting one to be by itself in the cage?

Answer
Yes there is a differnce between dwarf and full sized hamster. One obvious difference is that dwarfs are much smaller. There are also more breeds of dwarfs. I personally enjoy syrian hamsters, but either will do fine in a cage by itself.

Thanks for writing.
