More Robo Hamster Questions?

Question

So I bought my two Robo Hamsters yesterday, and I got a few more questions.

1. How do I bathe them? Just let them swim around in a small tub of water?

2. I'm worried that I might damage my hamster's system when I let them play all through the morning and afternoon, and then let them sleep at night. Will they get sick or have some kind of system problems because of that? *Robo Dwarf Hamsters are Nocturnal*

3. What kind of treats should I give them? Are regular human sweets good for them or do I have to go to a shop and buy treats special for small animals?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

NEVER wash him/her, unless instructed by your vet, as they do not like water. They catch colds very easily!  Hamsters actually bathe themselves by l*****g.

Let them play whenever.  They don't HAVE to sleep during the day.  My dwarf hamster sleeps and wakes up whenever he wants.

You can feed him fruits and nuts, but do so in little amounts.  After giving them a while to enjoy it, be sure to check their food stash and remove any leftovers so they don't go bad and get your hamster sick! Finally, when you feed your hamster just give him/her 4 tsp. or 1 tbsp. worth of food.

Answer 2

1. If you must bathe them, buy a hamster/gerbil dust bath chamber and some chinchilla dust bath.  Pour the dust in the house and they'll do the rest.  Do not wash them in water, no matter what.

2. It is fine to play with them during the day.  Just don't play with them ALL day.  Let them sleep some during the day, but most hamsters adjust to your schedule (like mine).

3. You can buy hamster treats (they love those, Kaytee Healthy Bits for Hamsters and Gerbils are great).  You can also give them watermelon, strawberries, bannana, carrot, romaine lettuce, spinach, kale, apple, orange, clemintine, peach, apricot, plum, and many other vegetables.  Don't give them human treats.

You're starting off on the right foot.  If you have more questions just ask them and I'll try to answer you as soon as I can.  Have fun with your robos.  I want one of those soon.

Answer 4

Do not bathe them. They clean themselves. They can get sick and die if you bathe them. You can give them baby carrots and cucumbers like twice a week
