Hamster help, tips and advice please?

My boyfriend gave me a hamster a few months ago...I've named her Zero. She had a litter of five (5), and then a litter of nine(9) [inbreeds...it was an accident]. I've gotten rid of all of her kits, escept for one female [Juliet]. Juliet is only 2 months old. Zero used to be calm and friendly now she is more ';sleepy'; and less friendly...she runs on her wheel alot less too. =/ Juliet is a spazitron [%26gt;.%26lt;] she runs on the wheel runs from me when I try to pick her up...Zero used to climb up into my hand and I want that back from her..and I want it form juliet too. They live in a good size aquarium with fine pine shavings, a wheel, a barrel, a food dish that gets refilled twice a day, and water that is changed every two days. They are comfortable and clean. [I clean the cage every week and a half to two weeks] I want calm hamsters and I especailly need tips to train Juliet while she is still a baby. Any and all advice is appreiciated. (:

they have toy tunnels and running balls.Hamster help, tips and advice please?
Maybe all the stress of the litters just...stressed her. What age did she have her first litter? although they can be sexually mature in a month (28 days aka 4 weeks) they shouldn't become pregnant at that age.

also , if your hamsters are syrians maybe she is just territroial, and feels threatened by your hand because she knows there is another hamster in their, too.


Also, next time you clean out their cage you should probably switch to aspen or other good shaving, anything but pine or cedar, or that fluffy wool stuff. heres a great site for info on hamster bedding:

Your hamster should also have a littleplace to hide in their cage. Like a little hamster mini house.


good luck!





(if your hamsters are dwarf hamsters, they LIKE company, if they are syrians, then they are usually more territorial.)Hamster help, tips and advice please?

tip: pin bedding isnt good for hamsters
maybe zero doesn't like being with the other hamster. Usually hamsters [related or not] don't like being with other hamsters. They sell them like that but they sell fast and they're just babies. Baby hamsters are fine with others but after a while, as they get older, they like to be on their own. Like pet places say, Gerbils love to be in groups but hamsters are PERFERD to be alone.
