i got question.... why my hamster getting thinner n thinner.... i give more than enough food and drink... i also notice his skin n muscle starting to sag.... and i dont see him exercise often..... is that the main cause??.... how can i make him exercise more??...
It's getting old. He will eventually lose more weight and the skin will sag in more places. Do be prepared when it happens, but for now, take care of it and give it lots of lurve and care.

Hamsters can't bond. The most they can do is remember your scent and maybe your voice.
Tame is rarely or never bites until it draws blood. Not nervous when you try to handle it or come near.
No need cage, just go buy a Storage bin from Carefour, Giant or Jusco and use empty tissue boxes (plastic removed), cardboard tubes from used toilet rolls, and some glass jars.
When buying the storage bin, you need to think what size would suit your ham.
If you're getting a syrian, you would need it to be about 2 and a half feet. If winter white or campbell, a little smaller. But if you can afford it, the bigger the better.
Once you've got the bin and all the chewable toys in place, POOOFFF! Hamster heaven Jumbo Gym!
