How do you tell if your hamster is healthy?

Question

Quetip (my hamster) isn't looking to swell her fur is all rufflled up and not clean looking and she wkes up in the daytime to eat which s really odd especailly for her... she loves the nigt time and never gets up when the sun is up... is she ok...

Answer 1

If it is ruffles up, it's okay. Just pet her if you feel it should be smoothed out. A hamster's teeth should be yellow. Everyone needs a little mid night-or mid day snack. Hamsters are usually nocturnal. Sleep at day, awake by night. She's fine.

-t.h.

Answer 2

yes, your hamster is perfectly healthy.  Hamsters are nocturnal so that is why she loves the night time :)  if hte fur does not look that clean try to clean the cage more regularly :)
