How to Keep and Train a Golden (Syrian) Hamster
A golden hamster lives only about two and a half years, so train early and repeat often—best between one and four months, after a week to settle in. Bond with snacks, teach its two-syllable name at feeding time, then lure it onto your hand. For care: newborns are blind and deaf for a week, eat mostly millet and grains as omnivores, and should get only small amounts of seeds, vegetables, and other treats beyond their staple, with clean water always available.

A small amount of eye discharge is normal, formed from tears mixed with bacteria, sand, dust, and hair, and just needs cleaning. But excessive discharge, abnormal color, red swollen eyes, smelly secretions, or frequent eye rubbing may signal bacterial or viral infection or injury. Wipe with warm water or saline daily, and see a vet if unchanged or with other symptoms.
How to Prevent Skin Disease in Shih Tzu Bear Hamsters
The Shih Tzu bear hamster has long, beautiful fur but is prone to skin disease. Causes include wrong bedding (wood shavings, paper pellets) that mats the coat, and urine left on the fur causing hair loss and sores. Treat by clipping and cleaning the spot, then applying an antifungal or antibacterial medicine with an Elizabethan collar. Prevent it with a roomy, dry, cool cage, cat-litter or tissue bedding, litter training, and regular sand baths.
How Long Do Shih Tzu Bear Hamsters Live? How to Care for Them
The Shih Tzu bear hamster, bred from the golden (Syrian) hamster, lives about 3–4 years, with lifespan tied to care. It has long fur, a small body, black eyes, a broad face, a small appetite, and little waste, and is strongly solitary—house one per cage except when breeding. Feed a simple diet with cooled boiled water and avoid watery produce that upsets its weak gut; groom its long coat, keep the home dry to prevent skin disease, and block its clever escape routes.
