What type of hamster has the smallest balls?

I see some hamsters at the store with huge balls and some with small balls. (sorry to call them balls I can’t remeber the scientific word for them.) but i was wondering what type of hamster has the smallest balls. They sort of gross me out so i’m looking for one with small balls.

What is the best type of hamster for breeding, and how do you get them to mate?

I have a teddy-bear hamter now, and later I want to get a male and female hamster so I can get baby hamters. What kind of hamsters are best for this?
Sorry, I didn’t mention that what I mean by what are the best is that what species get along the most. I’ve read that sometimes even a male and female fight each other instead of mating.

What Type of Food Is Considered to Be Hamster Food?

There are so many people who are first-time hamster owners who really have no idea about that you really can feed a hamster; and what is considered hamster food and what you need to absolutely not even think about feeding your hamster. This article is meant to give you a pretty good idea about what is safe to feed your hamster, what is questionable and things that you really need to stay away from as far as hamster food goes. These lists will be broken down into what you can feed to both Syrian and dwarf hamsters, what can only be fed to Syrians and what you need to avoid completely.

This is only a partial list of the foods that fall under the list of hamster food that can be fed to both the Syrian and the dwarf breeds of hamsters without giving them things that are too harsh or just not that good for them. You van feed both breeds of hamster just about any type of green leafy vegetable that you would eat yourself as well as green , orange, yellow and red peppers chestnuts and dandelion leaves and flowers. All of these are completely safe for both the Syrian and dwarf breeds as they normally eat a good bit of greens out on the wild. You can also feed your hamster cooked, unseasoned beef, turkey or chicken.

Things like apples, grapes, cherries, melons, mangoes, peaches, pears and other sweet sugary fruits and some vegetables (sweet potatoes, squash, corn, peas and carrots) should only be fed to the Syrian breed of hamster. The reason for this is that the dwarf breeds are genetically prone to diabetes, so those sweet sugary foods need to be off the hamster food list for dwarf hamsters.

This last section is going to cover those things that you absolutely cannot feed to either breed of hamster because they are dangerous to the hamsters in one way or another. You are not going to be doing your hamster any favors if you have any of these foods on your hamster food list under acceptable foods: chocolate, candy and other junk foods, raw potatoes, tomato leaves, buttercup flowers, pork, lunch meats fruit pits or seeds, citrus fruits, almonds, peanut butter, almost all spices and seasonings and jellies/jams.

How to Make a Homemade Hamster Bin Type Cage?

As all of you know, bins are all the ‘rage’ in ‘Hamster Real Estate’ these days. These are inexpensive and easy to make if you are handy with tools, or have someone to lend a hand.
You are only limited by your imagination! Design the home of your hamster’s dreams. These are easy to clean and weigh little.
Just remember to measure twice, and cut once. Also, make sure to read the end notes for tips and other useful ideas.
I also want to point out that some of the cuts in the photos provided in this guide are picks of my very first attempt and to note that the dermal tool and Rota Zip tool are difficult to handle while cutting plastic for more details go to www.dishadvice.com. Having the Dermal tool after all the bins have been made has made available attachments to smooth out some of these ‘wobbly’ cuts you see.
You can also use a GOOD utility knife to make the cuts. It works nicely and is less messy than the power tools. It also makes nice smooth lines/cuts. I want to point this out because I am NOT going to go and buy another bin to cut up without needing it for any hamster.
These instructions are for Sterility brand bins with the locking tabs on the lid. The size depends only on your personal preferences. I use a 109 qt for Syrian hamsters and 66 qt for Dwarf hamsters. I like the locking lids for safety reasons. I have 2 bins with 3 dwarf hamsters in each living quite comfortably in there.
OK, let’s get the lid vented
See that ridge along the edges? That’s our guide. We want to cut along side the shape of that ridge. Keep the lid fastened to the bin while doing this. It gives some stability.
1- Take your 1/2″ drill bit and drill a hole about 2″ INSIDE the area you are going to cut out.
2- Take the jig saw and insert the blade into the hole you just made and start cutting. I use the guide on the saw to a) follow the shape of the ridge, b) it keeps a safe distance inside the ridge to keep the lid useable and sturdy.
3- Continue all the way around until you have a hole cut out of the middle of the lid.
4- Make 2 holes with a ‘brace’ in the middle for the large bins. [K]
Let’s add the wire mesh
1- Take your wire mesh and lay it over the upside down, cut lid.
2- With the marker, mark out the size & shape of the inside of the lid opening, include any obstacles’ that will need ‘nipping’ to make the wire fit snugly without any gaps.
3- Take the tin snips (2) & cut out the shape of the lid you just traced out on the wire. You want a tight fit with the mesh and lid so no sharp edges are sticking out. [D]
4- With the lid still upside down, lay the mesh over the lid and position the mesh in place over the opening. Take your 3/16″ drill bit & drill a hole on one spot on one of the short sides of the lid.
5- Take a screw, 2 washers & 1 nut & fasten the mesh through this hole.
6- Do the same on the opposite side of the lid.
7- Now, work your way around the opposite side. This ensures a tight fit! Use the small wire nips (#9) to cut wire away from any ‘obstacles’ left from the original shape of the lid.
