Found a Golden Hamsterβ€”What Does He Need?

Hi all, I was just taking my dogs out to pee in the yard when I found what is clearly a pet hamster (looks identical to Golden Hamsters I’ve seen on google). I grabbed some gloves and an open Tupperware lined with paper towel to catch it, and it’s now inside all curled up (still breathing, probs cold).

I’m trying to call emergency vets and local animal rehab centers but they’re either closed or do not specialize in rodent care. Just to help it get through the night until these facilities open, is there anything I should do to put it in a better container, feed it, serve it water, etc?

Dug up my first bones today! Parts of a golden hamster that died of old age. Had trouble finding the skull and the rest of it though since I buried it directly underground without barriers. Lesson learned. reddit.com/gallery/qpct9c

Best aquariums/cages for golden hamsters?

I would like to know what would be the best size and type of cage/aquarium for a golden hamster. I am scared I may get the wrong size and it would suffer. I do have a bit of a budget, But I would be able to afford food and bedding. And are aquariums safe for golden hamsters?

Golden Hamster Cage Upgrade

Heya, I've been wanting for a while now to upgrade my golden hamster's enclosure since its a bit small for her and I don't want her to be uncomfortable.

Would this cage be okay for a golden hamster?

The size of the bottom is 95cm X 57cm and the height is 50cm. It also has two additional floors, and a tube can also be placed to the side as you can see.

If this is too small could somebody recommend a better cage option for my golden hamster?

a chipboard cage for a syrian/golden hamster?

hi, im building a custom made cage for my syrian/golden hamster. she's a pretty big female. the cage would be 3.28 ft (1 meter) in lenght and 1.60 feet (50 cm) in height and depth. my concern is about chipboard walls. are they too fragile and easy to bite through?

Is a golden hamster ok for a 5 y/o ?

My girlfriend want to gift an hamster for her 5 y/o daughter. I told her about the needs of the hamster (having a good house, spending time with it....), but i wonder, do you think it's a good idea since :

  • Hamster sleep until late (and child go to bed early)
  • She is 5, we will of course teach her the need to be gentle and take care of the hamster and will be here to take care of the hamster when she doesn't, but isn't it too young ?

Thank you :)

TIL that Syrian golden hamsters are natural alcoholics; in the summer they store fruits and by the time winter comes, the fruits will have fermented into alcohol. They also prefer alcohol over water. huffpost.com/entry/syrian…

This question may seem a bit odd but people who has owned Syrian/golden hamster, how long did they live? Asking as my oldest is about 3 years, I got him when he was over a year old when he couldn’t be sold anymore because of his age. my hamster
