هامستر · مراحل الحياة

Hamsters grow fast in their first three months and settle into their new home. A quiet first week, a well set-up habitat and patient introductions are the foundations of this stage.

Between 3 and 18 months, hamsters are at their most active and exploratory. A rich habitat, respect for their night-time rhythm and regular weighing make this stage a happy one.

Hamsters can show signs of ageing from about 18 months of age. An easy-access layout, a warm and quiet nest, softer food options and close monitoring make this stage more comfortable.
