Hamsters

Grooming The amount of grooming each hamster needs depends on coat length. All hamsters can be groomed weekly. Long haired hamsters will need to be brushed more frequently to ensure the fur does not get tangled and matted. Grooming is a good way of bonding with your pet and helps keep the coat and underlying skin healthy. It also enables you to check for any problems. hamsters will groom themselves with great enthusiasm and are so flexible that they can reach all of their body. As hamsters get old they may become more stiff and will appreciate some gentle assistance in keeping their coat in tip-top condition.
