All handling should be done as gently and as quietly as possible. Hamsters have a loose skin and can easily slip out of inexperienced hands. Scoop the hamster up from underneath and hold it gently but firmly. Sleeping hamsters may be defensive if awakened suddenly. It is a good practice to allow the hamster time to fully awake before handling.
All rodents have incisor teeth that grow constantly.
If not maintained, these teeth can grow to lengths that make it difficult for the animal to eat. To prevent this, an abrasive material, such as a chew bone or chew stick, should be provided to wear the teeth down. Comfortable and absorbent. Use inside or outside the cage for hours of play and entertainment.
