The hamster needs to provide a good living environment, make it familiar with the owner's taste, food temptation and so on.
1. Need to provide a good living environment
Don't play with hamsters when they first arrive home. At this time, everything around them is strange to hamsters. They will feel uneasy and need to be left alone for a few days to help them adapt to the new environment.
2. Familiarize the hamster with its owner's taste
When the owner prepares daily necessities for the hamster, he can first put an item with his own taste in the cage, which can be used as a cushion for the hamster, so that the hamster will be familiar with the owner's taste unconsciously.
3. Food temptation
To win the hamster's favor, the owner can personally feed the hamster. At first, he can take a long strip of food. If the hamster doesn't resist, he can gradually change it into food that can be fed in the palm of his hand. This feeding process can make the hamster understand that the owner is not a threat to it.
How to choose hamsters:
1. Eyes are the windows of the soul. This sentence also applies to hamsters. The bright eyes of hamsters indicate that there is no problem. If they can't open their eyes, their eyes are glazed and there is secretion in the corner of their eyes, they may be sick rats, so it is not recommended to choose them.
2. Check the hamster's ear for bite marks or scars. If bite marks are found, it may be that the hamster is timid or sick and bitten by other rats. It is not recommended to choose.
3. The hamster itself is a clean animal. You can observe whether the hamster's fur is shiny, shedding and smooth. If the coat color is dull, shedding and unsmooth. Maybe it's a sick mouse or an old hamster.
4. Observe the coordination of hamsters, and see if there is any "lack of arms and legs". When hamsters are young, they are sometimes carried back and forth by female rats, which may cause harm to their limbs. If hamsters don't have forelimbs, eating will be troublesome and they can't compete with other healthy hamsters.
