How to choose hamsters
How can I choose a healthier hamster? Here are several methods for your reference:
1, choose a hamster with eyes but no gum.
2. See if the hamster has a runny nose. If there is, don't choose.
3. Whether the shape of the ear is intact and whether there are traces of being bitten. This hamster is too weak or sick to be bullied and bitten by other hamsters.
4. The teeth don't stick out and the hair color is bright. Check for hair loss or tumors.
5. There should be no spots on the tail, and it is not good near the stomach, indicating that this hamster may have diarrhea.
6. When walking is abnormal, there is no feeling of stiffness, and the health of limbs is also the focus. If everything looks good, there should be no problem.
7. There should be no urine stains on the buttocks. If there are, don't pick them. Because it's probably sick.
8. Is your nose bitten, swollen or even bleeding? If so, it means that this hamster is not healthy and strong enough to be bullied by other hamsters.
9. Choose an energetic hamster to show that it is healthy. A soft mouse with a bad spirit must be ill.
10, hamster's nose should be pink, ears should be the same size, eyes should be watery, and the hair on its back should not be bitten. You can also observe whether hamsters are running around energetically. If it is, it means that the mouse is strong and not easy to get sick.
