Should a 12 year old have a hamster?
They are the most docile. Hamsters are good for kids aged 10-13 as a first time pet that they can learn to be responsible for. They only live a few years though. Just think about that when deciding to get one for your child.
How much is surgery for a hamster?
How much does it cost to neuter/spay a hamster? There’s more risk involved in surgery on a small pet than a larger animal like a cat or dog, so it may cost at least $100 but possibly upwards of $250 to do it. Many veterinarians won’t perform such a risky surgery, so you may be better off keeping the sexes separated.
Are hamsters cheaper at Petco or Petsmart?
Petco is usually better in prices and selection for me. Their own brand, You & Me is actually pretty nice and I can always price match prices online for a better deal. As for the hamsters, my local Petco have a much better selection than my Petsmart does.
Can a 6 year old have a hamster?
A child younger than six may not be able to handle a hamster properly, as they require a gentle touch and a supportive hold. Hamsters make great pets for school-aged children because though they are low maintenance, they are super fun to play with and watch and are quite interactive with people and their environment.
Does winter white hamster bite?
It’s rare for a hamster to actually be aggressive, though, and they typically only bite when they get scared. Those tiny teeth may not do as much damage as those of other animals, but a bite will hurt and should be discouraged. Fortunately, you can gradually train your hamster to accept being handled and stop biting.
Can you put 2 Winter White hamsters together?
Unlike Syrian Hamsters, Winter White dwarf hamsters can be held both alone and in pairs or groups. Unlike Roborovski Hamsters (where it’s the opposite), males are easier to keep together as there is a smaller risk of fighting. If you see any signs of a fight between your hamsters, separate them immediately.
