Do hamsters.....?

Question

Do hamsters attract wild mice? Like if I put a hamster in my room and i went to sleep and when i woke up the next morning would i find wild mice tryin to get in the cage?

My parents think that hamsters attract wild mice so i just want to no if they attract them cuz i think that would be nasty to wake up one morning with wild mice tryin to get in the cage that ur hamster was in

Answer 1

uhhh! thats a tough one, maybe other mice will go after your hamsters food but other than that i dont think so...

Answer 2

I have wild mice that get in my home, but they're looking for warmth not my hamsters. However we did several years ago have a hamster get loose, never found it, but few months later strange looking mice were being caught and killed by my cats. Cats only kill the mice not the real hamsters-raised together. Not the typical grey or brown mice either, some had shortened tails and were tan with a white band across their back and other combinations. Others looked like mice but had hamster like tails, it is weird. I didn't think they genetically could breed. Keep the food in a sealed container and clean up after them daily, they like to spit food sometimes. The below site has advise on hamsters.

Answer 3

no they don't. not unless, of course, you have lots of mice in your room, but they wouldn't get into the cage anyway. But most likely you would not have a problem with that

Answer 4

all hampsters are , are tailless rats ive been told that hampsters and rats can interbreed and produce babies now whether or not it's true i dont know i used to raise hampsters until i found out that my kids were staying sick because hampsters carry the common cold virus needless to say after i sold all the hampsters and cages my kids got well

Answer 5
