1. How to keep hamsters sticky?
In fact, it is not very difficult for hamsters to know and remember their owners, and it is not very difficult to gradually become clingy. Mainly remember the following steps:
1. Let the hamster be familiar with your smell
Many animals mark and remember an item by smell, including hamsters. When the hamster is just brought home, the pet owner can put some items with its own smell in the hamster’s small cage first, so that the hamster will gradually become familiar with your smell unconsciously, so that when you directly touch the hamster, It won’t be easily startled and won’t find a way to break free from you.
2. Use food to buy hamsters
No animal can refuse the temptation of food. In order to gain the favor of hamsters, we can often feed hamsters with a long strip of food. If the hamster is willing to eat, we gradually shorten the length of the food, and finally replace it with pelleted food and put it in the palm of the hand to feed.
During the feeding process, you can let the hamster know that you are the one feeding the food and that you are not malicious. It also allows the hamster to become familiar with your scent and begin to feel the warmth and touch of your palm.
3. Gradually increase physical contact
After the hamster is familiar with your scent, you can tentatively touch the hamster. Don’t grab the hamster directly at first. You can touch its small head with one finger. If the hamster is dodging, stop it in time. If it does not dodge, you can continue to touch it with confidence. After a long time, you can try to touch the hamster directly in the palm of your hand, so that you can gradually cultivate a good relationship.
Be careful not to touch the hamster while it is resting, because hamsters are timid and may be frightened if their rest is suddenly interrupted.
4. Keep a friendly attitude
The hamster is also more sensitive to sound. If the pet owner often yells at it, it may feel very nervous and mentally stressed very large. Therefore, in the daily interaction, the pet should be careful and patient, and try to talk to the hamster in a soft voice as much as possible, so that the hamster will gradually leave a good impression on you.
Second, what should be paid attention to when raising hamsters?
1. The newly received hamster may have some stress reactions, so the emotions are more sensitive. The owner should pay attention to his own safety when feeding, do not touch the hamster rashly, and avoid being caught by the hamster. Bite;
2. When the weather is warmer, we can let the hamster come out for a while, first use the partition to block the furniture gap, and then prepare some hamster toys to let it come out and move freely;
3. Hamsters are also afraid of heat. Hamsters may suffer from heat stroke in summer. In addition, hamsters are also afraid of cold in winter, so pay attention to weather changes, keep warm in winter and sunscreen in summer.
Many people think that hamsters are not sticky. In fact, most of the reasons are that hamsters are relatively easy to raise, so there is less interaction, resulting in hamsters that are not familiar with their owners, so everyone should spend more time with hamsters when they are free. Contact, let it feel its own friendliness, in order to continue to deepen each other’s feelings~
