About communicating with other hamsters hamsters Bashny.Net

Here I sat stuck in the Internet, and then stupidly hammered in the search for "hamsters" and found . Since she is not a zoologist, and is described below is observed only in females during pregnancy + some of its intransigence with the male after birth, the fact that these things - the truth does not pretend. It would be interesting to discuss.

Hamsters all true, judging by the dates ph staying in the common mood

What do we know about communicating with other hamsters hamsters? Most people - absolutely nothing, even if they are not at home one year, one does not live hamster. Our assumptions are often based on our own ideas about "what is good and what is bad." Therefore, hamsters are often kept in pairs, threes and even colonies. On the question of why some people have got more than one hamster and more, the owners often sincerely say: "But one bored!»



Scary to think how many hamsters were the victims of such aspirations of the people "to try everything on myself." Hamsters can not and should not live in groups for a simple reason: it is solitary territorial animal; with neighbors, invading its territory, until the hamster will fight until one of them dies or not retreat.



It became known recently. Perhaps only because Syrian hamsters for a long time was considered extinct. When it became clear that this kind of die out in no hurry, and scientists engaged in the study of these animals, it was found that in nature they will never live in groups. Of the many scientists discovered holes Syrian hamsters are the two that are closest to each other, to share 118 meters.



It turned out that the nature of Syrian hamsters can peacefully meet with only one purpose - to mate. All other random encounters end with clashes: the owner of the territory did not rejoice uninvited guests, even if they are his closest relatives. Actually, this fact hamsters do not care for their mother or brother - a completely alien being. Small homyachata live with his mother in peace and harmony as long as the lactating females have milk; along with the milk she lost maternal instinct, and native children are transformed into enemies.



That is why living in pairs, domestic Syrian hamsters are occasionally fighting. Very often, these fights end with the death of one or even both of the animals. Agree, this is not the most pleasant surprise: waking up in the morning, found in the cell instead of the dismembered corpse furry pet ...



And, at the same time, dwarf hamsters often live in nature groups. "How great! So they can start a couples / families / colonies ?! "- you say. No, you can not keep the house in groups and. For example, in the nature of living in a hole five or six dwarf hamsters, brothers from the same litter. Around a distance of three hundred meters or more there is no other hamster burrows. At some point the brothers hamsters quarrel, not dividing the pantry or the general area around the hole ... What happens next? The loser will leave the burrow and build your own house, while the rest still some time will coexist peacefully. Now let's imagine that such a quarrel takes place in a small cage. To start up a fight, because the weaker (or less aggressive) small animal simply can not escape. Instigator can catch it anywhere ... And this means that the risk of the worst outcome is increased by several orders of magnitude!



Three of the five fights hamsters (both Syrian and dwarf) come to an end, if not the death of at least one of the animals, the serious injuries. And all just because the owners truly believed that one pet in a cage would be boring ...



There are many ways to entertain the hamster. And for that the owner does not have to be constantly at home and communicate with pet. Running wheels, tunnels, bridges, stairs ... even crumpled white paper napkin - all this can be fun for a young animal. Unlike its neighbors, "communication" which is extremely dangerous for both hamsters ...



So, the hamster - a solitary territorial animal, he has to live alone. Even if two hamsters live in different standing close cells, the animals one can reach each other teeth ... And the result - bitten noses and legs bitten off - is unlikely to please a loving owner. And even if your hamsters for a while lived in peace and harmony, it does not mean that this particular night idyll is interrupted bloody battle, and in the morning in the cell you would not expect "a pleasant surprise» ...

Take care of your pet and remember: hamsters are not people, they have no need to communicate with their own kind. Furthermore, this communication is fraught with immense danger to the animals!
