Hamster is a very popular pet. Hamsters don’t recognize people, because their memory is very short, their courage is small, and their sense of territory is very strong. They often travel at night, with poor eyesight and very sensitive sense of smell. Compared with cats and dogs, it is not easy to gain trust with their owners.
Feeding the hamster at a fixed time every day can make the hamster familiar with your smell. But don’t put in too much food, just let the Hamster eat seven full, so that the hamster will take the initiative to run out to eat every time at the feeding point. It’s easy to name a hamster and call it gently every time you feed or play with it, so that the hamster forms a simple conditioned reflex. Put the hamster’s food in the palm and cage. The hamster can eat on your hand. When the hamster is eating on his hand, gently remove his hand from the cage. If the hamster continues to eat without other reactions, you can start to exercise the hamster’s ability to climb on your hand. If you can hold the hamster and take it out of the cage so that the hamster can sleep on your hand, it shows that you have been fully trusted by the hamster.
When hamsters get along with people for a long time, their alertness will decline. At the same time, they will also change their field skills, so that they can sleep safely at any time and anywhere. There are two situations in which hamsters can tidy their fur by themselves. The first is that they are completely relaxed; Another situation is that when the owner touches them, the hamster wants to apply his own smell to the owner and breathe their smell. Hamsters often have their ears down to indicate that they are in a relaxed state. When hamsters are alert, their ears are usually very high and straight, and are extremely sensitive to the sound of their surroundings. When you see them, they are really lazy.
When threatened by their companions, they will also shout back. Because they have no expertise in dealing with the enemy, they only pretend to be fierce to scare away the enemy. A few sensitive hamsters will start barking when you get close, but they won’t bark again after a long time. As long as you are willing to spend time every day, you will find that hamsters have a lot of body language, and these “language” represent the emotional messages of hamsters.
