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.
