Hamster Problems: Wont Chew The Stuff I Gave Her!! Help Help!!!!  |
| |
|  I have a dwarf hamster, I've had her almost a week (on Tue) and I have a problem. She WONT chew the stuff I give her! I gave her wooden blocks, a mineral wheel and even wooden sticks from the local PetCo.
She WAS chewing the wooden sticks but stopped within a few minutes. I hear milk bones are good for them and they work, and I will get some tomorrow. But till then any suggestions to get her to chew what I have for her already?
Its costing more and more because I buy stuff she wont chew at all or long enough. I am worried about her! I put lemon juice on her bars and she has stopped thankfully chewing those. I heard from several sources its bad to do that which is why I put the lemon juice.
Tonight she finally climbed the big tub ring I gave her, and went up there JUST to chew the plastic! She is obessed with chewing anything but what I gave her that she SHOULD chew!
Please help! This is my first hamster and I know they are only around for a few years. I dont want hers to end too quickly. Her name is Tinkerbell.
thanx for all your help!

| |  I wish I could help you. I had a hamster for the longest time, and he chewed on his bars, and I never bought him anything specific to chew on, other than his food. He never had any problems and died of old age eventually. I let him run around in his exercise ball, he would go all over the house, and had a blast. I wouldn't worry too much about him chewing on everything BUT what you buy him. I wouldn't waste your money buying him anything else to chew on either. He will chew what he wants, regardless of what you do, so let him. My guess is he will do just fine, though I am by far no expert on hamsters! Good luck and enjoy Tinkerbell!

| |  well hampsters are funny that way. Just like a dog you can buy a million toys and they still chew on your shoes!!! Also she is new to the environment. Give her time to get to know the place and see whats what. Just leave the things be, she will get the point eventually. Good luck!

| |  Dont worry...My hamster also LOVES chewing her cage metal bars up till now and i've had her for 6months already! As copperkitten said, give ur hamster time, as she is still getting assimilated into her surroundings. It took my first hamster 2 months before she settled in.

| |  Don't worry, they don't need to chew CONSTANTLY and she'll pick and choose what she likes. It's important to just keep things in her cage that she can chew on. Then leave it to her to decide if and when she feels the need to chew.

| |  I used to have a dwarf hamster and i don't remember it chewing anything. It didnt chew its plastic cage, or any cardboard tubes i gave it or any toys. It just ate the food I gave it and stored a lot in i's pouch.

| | When I was younger, I used to raise hamsters. I found they don't really care for the wood. They only need that for sharping their teeth. I would buy them small soup bones. Make sure you microwave them to remove any blood and trim off any meat on them. Let them cool and set in cage. I had one hamster who knew how to open his cage and the only way to catch him would be to tap a bone on the floor | | | | | | |
