What to Know Before Getting a Hamster
Before keeping a hamster, learn its basics: it is solitary (one per cage to avoid fights), comes in types like dwarf, robo, and teddy differing by coat, has a scent gland that may need cleaning in heat, is nocturnal so use a quiet wheel or keep it from bedrooms, and needs a clean cage and no strong smells nearby. Lifespan is only 2–3 years, so commit fully.
What to Do When a Hamster Suddenly Has Babies
A doe bred during heat gives birth in about two weeks, so be ready. Right after birth: separate any cagemates at once (they may eat the pups), keep the cage quiet, dim, and hidden with extra bedding and full food and water (the mother raises them alone), never touch the pups — your scent makes the mother reject or eat them, and if you must move them use a spoon; feed the mother rich food (mealworms) for milk, and split the pups to their own cage after weaning to avoid fights or inbreeding.
Does Dog Teething Cause Heavy Drooling?
Drooling and a little bleeding in a teething dog are normal — new teeth constantly stimulate the salivary glands, and an unsteady bite from growing teeth adds drool. Watch for a retained baby-tooth double row and have it pulled after teething. Also note calcium shortage (shaking, drooling, double rows, even lameness if severe — add shrimp, kelp, tofu, calcium tablets) and mouth issues from messy diet or poor hygiene (ulcers, stomatitis, red gums, odor — clean after meals, brush 2–3 times a week, add B and E vitamins).
