Do you want to give someone your warmth and care? Would you like to feed and drink a pet, but do not have the opportunity to get a large animal? A hamster is what you need! Small and cute fluffy creatures that do not require a lot of attention, but give joy and a smile in difficult times, are liked by both children and adults.
The Dzungarian hamster is one of the representatives of the genus of bipedal hamsters. These small animals are often mistakenly called a dwarf breed, but in reality their dimensions are extremely small (up to ten centimeters in length and forty-five grams of weight), but these parameters do not depart from the norm. Dzhungariki at home take root almost immediately. As a rule, caring parents purchase hamsters especially for their children, so that the heirs would be interested to watch the animals, feed them and play.
The breed of
Dzungarian hamsters was bred in
Western Siberia. This species is also found in the
nature of Kazakhstan, in deserts and semi-deserts. Dzhungariki at home now feel even more comfortable than in the wild. These animals are rather reluctant to get used to human hands. They are constantly on the move. If you install a wheel in an animal cage, be aware that this carousel will never stop. Dzhungariki hamsters, the care of which is simple but unpleasant, are very mobile and nervous. Often the sharp teeth of these guys bite the palms of a person and the wire of the cell.
Dzhungariki at home develop and multiply well. A female hamster can have offspring from a month or two from its birth. Do not put two animals of the same sex in a single cage, this can lead to conflict and a fight between males or females, in which only the strongest will survive. You should be careful at the birth of offspring. There are often cases when the mother ate the babies just born. Dzhungariki care requires unpretentious, enough to clean the cage once a week, regularly change the water in the drinking bowl and add food to the feeder as necessary.
Dzhungariki at home for the first time behave hyperactively. Do not limit the freedom of the baby, let him explore his new home, mark the corners and arrange a berth. If you did not know, then hamsters are very clean animals. Females relieve the need exclusively in the place designated for this and quickly get used to it. Also, dzhungariki are very fond of various attractions. Buy a large and multi-functional “apartment” for your pet, which will have tunnels, a wheel, a berth under the roof, a feeding trough and a drinking bowl. Get ready for the fact that for the comfortable conditions of your baby you will overpay at least 5 times more than the cost of the jungle himself.
These animals are very picky in food and sensitive to weather conditions, so be careful about the health of the hamster, do not let the pet sneeze, itch and sleep a lot. Otherwise, call a veterinarian to help you check the condition of the jungar. These animals do not live long (maximum 3 years) and often die due to any disease, so do not forget about him, keep order in his house and feed him the right food.
