Is it good if i shed newspaper n ade it for the hamster?

Question

i just found out it was a golden hamster thanxs to sumone :)

well he name is tobby tabber

but i gotta change it cuz i don't know how to tell if its a boy or a girl

Answer 1

Kind of gross but this is how you tell...

pick up the hamster and hold him in your hand with his back leaning on your palm. Very gently push the area right on top of where it looks like they pee from. If a p***s comes out its a boy, if nothing happens its a girl....

or you can just observe it for a long time until you see them pee and try to look that way.

Answer 2

dont use shredded newspaper cuz the ink on it can't be digested by a hamster and works like a poison...so in the end the hamster dies and thus u have emotional and financial loss!

Answer 3

The best bedding for hamsters is Carefresh and aspen shavings. Besides commercial bedding, toilet paper is a good and cheap alternative for hamster bedding. Always use only unbleached, untreated and non fragrant toilet paper. Rip it up and mix it with some aspen shavings for the bedding. Do not throw the empty toilet roll tubes. Give them to your hammies who like them as toys for gnawing and tunneling.

Do not use newspaper. Hamsters have a habit of gnawing at their bedding and if they ingest the newspaper, it is not good for their health and the ink in the paper can be toxic to them. Similarly do not use tissues with bleach, color or fragrance in them since the chemicals are injurious to the little hamster's stomach.

Answer 4

no it is not becuz the hamster will bite on it and maybe die so go to petco or pet smart and get some. the boys got to big butt cheeks with hair no it and girls do.

Answer 5

NEVER!

the ink from newspaper might give him ink poisoning, and the newspaper my cause him to choke!

just get regular bedding from a pet store.

but never Ever  EVER get it pine or cedar!

they can die if they use it.

i sugest care fresh bedding, but if that is too expensive get aspen wood shavings.

i hope you love your hamster and have fun with him :)

hamsters like newspaper for bedding or just in the cage because they can shred it up theirselves and they like that
