Hamsters are actually a "clean" animal in that they don't carry any diseases we need to worry about. Just the same, use an antibiotic cream on it and bandaid. When handling your hamster be sure not to startle it. Make sure it knows you are going to pick it up. If you accidentally drop it, wait a few seconds before picking it up because if you immediately scoop it up, it is already traumatised and will bite.

As long as the animal doesn't have any rodent diseases... you should be fine other an the lil bit of pain and blood... I've had a hamster for over a year, and I've only been nearly bit once.

via nature, hamsters like a good previous scratch. I have had my male syrian 16 months and he likes to sit down in a particular area of his cage for a good scratch together each and every evening! yet when her epidermis is searching comfortable, or she is sratching the fur away take her to the vet because it ought to nicely be mites. As for the chewing, your doing each and every thing actual. If she has all those diverse issues to bite on yet continues to be insisting on chewing the cage then take her out and allow her have an rather lengthy run in her hamster ball because that is interest searching for. Bar chewing is risky, that is been appropriate to mind damage, and is executed via boredom, no longer, as many human beings trust, to grind their teeth down. A hamsters uncomplicated weight-relief plan will attempt this for them. one ingredient i do locate that helps distact Harry (my little bushy kit) from bar chewing is complicated nuts nevertheless encased of their shells, like monkey nuts, walnuts, brazil nuts and hazel nuts. It keeps him occupied for hours chewing via the shells, dried pasta is yet another good one, and dried out corn on the cob. i desire this helps.

As long as the store you purchased him from was clean and the cage you got him from - and you keep a clean cage at home - you should be fine.
I have been bitten by gerbils, rats, rabbits, squirrels (all pets not wild).., even a cat and a dog! but I survived just fine.
