I just got a new hamster, and I think my dog is jealous?
I recently got a new hamster, and ever since my dog has been acting strange when I'm in the room that has the hamster cage in it. When I go to feed the hamster or see it, he will follow me up and if I shut him out he will scratch on the door with his paws. This morning I woke up, and he (my dog) was at my bedroom door because he wanted to come in. When my dog is near the hamster cage, he will just sit and stare at it.
I'm really worried that my dog could try to get into the room with the hamster cage, and attack it when I'm not in the house. He is a Golden Retriever, has never bitten, and is very good, so this is unusual.
Is he jealous, sad (thinking I've found a new friend) or maybe he is just interested in this furry little creature that he's never seen before?
