Many people have a hamster as a pet. This fluffy and intelligent animal becomes a true friend. It's very funny to watch his behavior, tinker with him, train and tame him. But sometimes the hamster squeaks. Why is he doing this?
Unfortunately, the hamster cannot make claims about keeping and feeding. If he squeaks, it means that the pet wants to tell you something, to tell you about what he is worried about at the moment. Often the hamster begins to squeak at the moment when he is taken home after the purchase. This is a common reaction of a frightened toddler. Do not take the hamster away from the female earlier than 2 weeks after birth. At first, the hamster will scream, squeak, hide and bite at home. He needs to adapt to new conditions, to his house (cage), to food, to extraneous household noise, etc. The hamster also needs to get to know the owner and learn to distinguish him from others. The adaptation period can take from one week to 3 months. The hamster needs to be tamed, he needs to get used to the hands of the owner. The pet has not yet had time to believe in the good intentions of the owners, so at first it will squeak when they try to pick it up, but over time it will get used to it and calm down. It is also necessary to get used to the fact that these hands will feed the hamster. Soon he will begin to recognize by the smell that a beloved owner is approaching the cage. A squeak may indicate that something is hurting the hamster. Do not give your hamster into the hands of small children, they may drop it. Falling from a height can damage internal organs. In this case, you need to show the pet to the veterinarian. By squeaking, the hamster may express dissatisfaction with the fact that his cage is dirty. It is necessary to clean his house every day, clean out feces, change sawdust. And the hamster will be very happy if it finds something to chew in the cage. Often hamsters squeak during sleep (they probably have restless dreams). With a squeak, they jump up, frightened of something. At this moment, you can call the hamster by name in an affectionate voice. The native calm voice of the owner soothes him very much.
