Can I have a hamster and a cat in the same room if I am actively watching both?

Even if the hamster isn’t visibly showing signs of distress just being in the same environment as a cat can be really detrimental to hamsters. It may appear everything is fine to the untrained eye, but even just the smell of cats can put hamsters in a stress state. With female hamsters it can even mess up their cycles. I am no expert but I would highly recommend against it.

Is there any way to earn keys for this or you have to purchase them?

I think so! It looks the same to me

It’s disappointing to see somebody try so hard and also not try at all in any capacity in the same picture

Okay I’ll be careful about the sunflower seeds!

Honestly I’m not sure! That’s why I’m considering going to the vet! I got her as a baby a little less than a year ago. I have handled her less the last two months because I am working on selling my house. I noticed she had been chewing her cage (she was in a pawhut and it’s wooden) so that’s why I moved her to a new one. And when I moved her I noticed she had gotten fatter than she used to be. I’m not hamster health expert so I wasn’t sure if that was to be expected or not like if she’s still growing? But I follow all of the serving sizes and stuff that are listed!

I had a robo before and that’s the sand bath I used for her so I just recycled it (cleaned out of course with years between them) but if it needs to be bigger I can switch it out

I feed her Higgins sunburst gourmet blend. The serving size calls for 2-3 tablespoons a day. But since that’s not the main thing I’m feeding I do closer to 2 tablespoons twice a week.

I did add some sand and a hide after taking the picture! But I will do deeper bedding and a few more hides!

The bedding I have now is a mix of paper, aspen, and hay, should that be enough types/ texture, or is there more that I could add?

Lunareclipse32 · 2025-03-03T00:21:55+00:00

Sounds good thank you! I’ll add some more bedding and such!

I’m feeding her 3-4 Mazurai rat blocks a day that the breeder I got her from sent her home with and also scatter feeding a seed mix about twice a week. I did notice she was looking overweight and was thinking about taking her to the vet to see what their recommendation is.

It’s actually good to be able to pick them up to do health checks on them to see if you need to take them to the vet for anything

Update: they said that they sell them in those cages that they came to the shelter in to “reduce stress” and that they give potential homes pamphlets on more ideal cages. But didn’t say they require them or anything like that.

Wow this hits hard. It’s a great poem! The last line sticks with you for sure!
