Dwarf Hamster - Lolly Brown - Bog

At roughly 50% the size of conventional hamster breeds, Dwarf Hamsters can make excellent pets for people who need a low-maintenance companion with a big personality. These tiny creatures may be too fast and too agile, however, to be kept by younger children without adult supervision. It's important to understand a Dwarf Hamster's husbandry needs well in advance of any adoption. All varieties are best suited for life in an aquarium as a habitat. Dwarf breeds have a lifespan of approximately three years and will thrive on a diet of commercially available pellets mixed with fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and seeds. Entertaining and personable, Dwarf Hamsters do require patient and progressive socialization to become truly tame. Breeds like the Robovorski, however, are often best handled inside their enclosure only because they are not only active, but skilled little escape artists. This simple and accessible text presents all the basic information necessary to establish a Dwarf Hamster habitat, manage your pet's dietary needs, and monitor his health for potential illnesses. Although not difficult to keep as pets, Dwarf Hamsters - indeed all hamsters - are often "impulse" adoptions. Your best course of action is to acquire all the necessary supplies for your pet, assemble his habitat, understand his needs, and then bring your hamster home. By following straightforward directions for socialization and training, your Dwarf Hamster should settle in quickly and happily!
