Species Spotlight - Hamsters!!🐹
Small but mighty, hamsters make adorable companions.
Here are some fun facts & care tips:
• Husbandry: Bigger is better, hamsters need lots of space to burrow, hide, and play - a deep enclosure with a solid bottom is best. Being omnivores, hamsters eat both plant and animal foods, they need hamster pellets, and a small amount of vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds every day.
• Enrichment: Small hiding spots, hanging toys, ramps, a solid-surface wheel and tunnels, provide stimulation and places to hide and sleep.
• Preventative Health: Hamsters can develop dental issues, wet tail, and lumps as they age. Regular checkups help catch problems early.
Hamsters may be tiny, but they bring us tons of joy to see here in the clinic 💛
