Syrian Hamster CareMost hobbyists do not advise housing a female for more than one day. The female is the dominant sex and may kill the male. In general, these hamsters do not do well if they are caged in the company of others; they are even known to fight against the same sex. There are always exceptions, however, and some hobbyists have reported housing males with females without any ill effects. Hamsters do have powerful jaws, even tame hamsters will bite if mishandled, and therefore children should be supervised when handling a hamster to ensure they are not bitten because of mishandling. Signs of illness include changes in stool. Checking droppings periodically for diarrhea or lack of droppings is a good way to measure the health of your Syrian Hamster. ( categories: )
