 Welcome
to The CritterScoop Syrian Hamster FAQ
by jennawing
These articles are based on my many years experience
as a hamster-keeper, breeder, and hamster forums administrator and
moderator and on the research I have done on hamster before ever owning
one up to this day. Hamsters are a creature very close to my heart and a
subject I never tire of. Any new information I read or observations I
make are added here to help all hamster owners and lovers. The most
important thing is that all hamsters have a chance to be happy and
healthy and that all hamster owners can enjoy their pet entirely. The
only thing that I ask of you in return is to respect my time and work
and do not reproduce these articles elsewhere. You are very welcome to
link to the FAQ and please feel free to share the address with other
hamster owners.
These are the questions that new hamster owners ask
most frequently. This is the information that you need to know about
hamsters before bringing one home and the information that I expect
anyone taking home a hamster I breed to read and learn beforehand.
Articles are updated frequently when new information is discovered and
new articles are added when people email me new questions that I feel
others can benefit from as well. I am always wanting to improve the
content of what is here, and when time and opportunity allows, I add
more photo illustrations, videos, etc to help enrich the information.
There are many articles here that can apply to other
small species commonly kept as pets, but the FAQ focuses on Syrian
Hamsters. The FAQ does not cover some of the more serious or rare health
or medical concerns. These are things that I have had no experience with
and feel a vet consultation would be the appropriate route. No
information here is intended to take the place of a vet's attention. Any
questions you have, feel free to contact me by
email
or through
CritterScoop forum.
I hope that you find what you need to know, get some
great new ideas, and learn something that will make you and your hamster
very happy!
