It’s easy for us to chat, text message or just talk with our friends. But how does our hamster gets along with his buddies? Just the same way -OK, maybe not just like us. Hamsters have a quite simple language: body language and vocalizations. Some of the sounds they make are ultrasonic. That way, they can not be heard by predators or humans when they talk.
Is your hamster stretching and yawning? This means that he is feeling happy or that he is a bit tired. It’s not a good idea to try to play with him now because he might nip you. You would do the same if some huge hand would take you from your bed the second you waked up.
Is your hamster sitting up on his back legs, ears forward, without moving? That is a sign that the hamster is listening something very interesting that caught his attention.
Is your hamster sitting on his back paws in battle position, with his front paws up? Hamsters usually stand like this when they are threatening their cage mate(s) or even you.
Is your hamster collecting bedding and food in his cheek pouches? If he is stuffing all this thing in his pouches when he is out of the cage, it means that the hamster feels that the food/bedding you give him isn’t enough. Instead, if the hamster is carrying the bedding and food supply from a corner of the cage to another, do not worry. he is just decorating his cage the way he likes it. Sometimes, his stuffing and collecting food isn’t a sign of anything. the hamster just likes to stuff his pouches.
Is your hamster chewing the bars of the cage- he is tying to tell you that he is bored, that he needs toys to chew on or he is just stressed.
Is your hamster digging? Sure he is! Digging is their favorite thing to do.
Is your hamster nipping? If not, you are a lucky one. Hamsters usually nip when they are annoyed by something or when they want attention from our side.
So, as you can see, every little thing your hamster does has a meaning. Be careful at his behavior and you will soon be able to understand your hamster.
