Hamsters


The animated film Bolt, released in 2008, tells the story of an actor dog who believes he has actual superpowers, just like the character he portrays on the TV show he’s in. Although Bolt is the central protagonist of the film, he doesn’t provide the most comic moments. That distinction belongs to Rhino, a hamster who’s fearless and obsessed with TV, particularly Bolt’s show.

Rhino is a Syrian hamster, one of the many species of hamsters known to pet owners. Hamsters in general are great pets for children, but they may not be the best pet for children with small and curious hands. Each breed or species of hamster is known for its own unique traits—something owners will have to take note of if they plan on buying and taking one home. Syrian hamsters, also known as Golden and Teddy hamsters like Rhino for example, should never be kept in a group, else they will fight aggressively with each other, sometimes to the death. Other hamsters on the other hand, such as the more exotic Roborovski hamsters, always fare better in groups.

Hamsters are largely low maintenance pets. Once you’ve done your research on the kind of hamster you want, you can then proceed with the essentials.

First, you have to make sure you buy healthy hamsters from the pet store—some of them wont’ be in the best condition, so be careful.

Second, you’ll need a place to keep your hamsters in. Many pet shops have easy-to-assemble enclosures for hamsters, so just take your pick.

Third, you’ll need to buy bedding. Stay away from scented bedding, as this often gives hamsters respirator problems.

Fourth is food. You can buy seed mix from the pet shop. Just make sure they contain fresh and healthy ingredients. You don’t want too many sunflower seeds in your seed mix, as the stuff is guaranteed to fatten up your hamster.

Picking the Perfect Hamster


Hamsters are a favorite among kids and adults. Their cute little faces, hairy coats, and playful character are usually the reason why they are one of the most popular pets. But before getting a hamster, I have here some helpful tips in choosing the perfect hamster for you.
1. Know their breed. The most common hamsters are the Syrian hamsters and Campbell’s Russian Dwarf hamsters. The Syrian hamsters are the biggest pet hamsters, solitary, easier to handle and are friendlier; Syrian hamsters are also ideal for first timers and beginners. Dwarf hamsters on the other hand, are smaller, and can live in pairs or in groups; first time hamster owners may find them hard to handle because of their size and are more sensitive.

2. Choose a young hamster. Hamsters don’t live that long, so it is better to choose a young one so that you can spend more time with it. Also, young hamsters are easier to tame than the older ones.

3. Choose the most active hamster. Now, that you know what breed you want, make sure that you choose the most active hamster. Hamsters are nocturnal, so to choose a hamster, wake them up. The most playful and the most curious hamster is most likely the most active and healthiest among them.

4. Know the gender. It is important to know the gender of the hamster you are getting. If you are planning to get two dwarf hamsters and is planning to breed them, make sure that you have a male and a female.

5. Check the eyes. The eyes are a good indicator of their overall health. Choose a hamster that has clear eyes, widely opened and are free of any discharge.

6. Check the coat. The coat of a healthy hamster is smooth and free of any breaks.

7. Check the bottom. Make sure that the hamster has dry bottom. Wet bottom means the hamster has diarrhea and is unhealthy.
