Can I take my hamster?
And if I take him he tries to defend himself or something xd

Hi, there's been a mouse in my room for a few days, and I've been sleeping in the living room ever since, and it's really annoying me. I've tried everything to lure it out, but it just doesn't want to come out, and I don't want to hurt it. What should I do? I'm really…
I've had my budgies for two years now, and they've started clattering their beaks and moving their tongues up and down. They do this even when they're not really paying attention to me and I'm just sitting next to them (doing other things), but I don't know why.
Hello, My rabbit gave birth to a baby about 5 hours ago, unfortunately, which was still alive. The pregnancy was unwanted, and so we didn't know about it until today. Is it possible that she just got it from stress and there are more babies in her tummy, or is the gap too wide and…
I saw on TikTok that a parrot can name lots of objects and even determine their colour. I know it's from TikTok so it should be taken with a grain of salt. But is the parrot's behaviour learned like a dog that sits when given a certain command? So are the responses learned, or is…
Can you tell that from the picture?
Imagine you’re the hamster. You’re sitting in your cage, you’re crumbling degrees on some hay and looking at the world outside your bars. Suddenly, a giant appears in your field of view, which also approaches you. Then he stands right in front of you and a huge something descends on you and grabs you. You don’t know what happens, you don’t know that at all. In front of your inner eye, your whole short life moves past you. You think the giant wants to eat you!
This will be quite the perspective of any hamster that has not been used to people.
If you have a new hamster, you should give him some days to get used to his new home. To the cage, all the smells and sounds around him. He needs a place like a small hut or cave in which he can move back at “Gefahr”. A place where he feels safe. There you should never try to take him out if possible so that he really feels safe.
When he got used to all this, you can start to sit next to his cage and maybe just put your hand in the cage, with some food nearby and on it. You might even know what the little one likes.
So he can get used to your present. Gradually you can move your fingers a little. Maybe gently caress him with a finger when he cracks a little near him. Most animals like pettings and when he first noticed that you don’t want to eat it, he might even start climbing your hand from his own. But this whole process can take several weeks.
very detailed answer thank you:D
Hamsters are observation animals that should not be taken up.
You need 1qm continuous floor area in a mesh and plastic-free enclosure (Terrarium/ Aquarium) with at least 25-30cm floor level.
These include art-friendly hideaways (ceramic, clay, light wood, hay), a multi-chamber house and a sand bath with good chinchilla sand.
A large impeller (from 28cm inner diameter) is just as mandatory as permanent access to fresh water.
All furnishings belong on stilts or on planes so that they cannot sink in the litter.
So my friend keeps her hamster in his hand, sometimes he cracks something, but I also think differently with every hamster
You have to try. But keep your open palm to him so that he can first explore it before you test it to lift it and don’t grab it after him
In the beginning, he sees human beings as predators. You have to change that. Hand in the cage and hamster ignore……. With feed in the hand it works even better. And don’t move the hand. LG hope I could help
Try out. Then you know if he agrees. We can’t tell you this.
It’s not a mess. You can also bite.
I’m talking about smusing, the question refers to keeping the animals.
