Life gets busy, which means we aren’t able to spend time with our pets as much as we’d like. Unfortunately, this can spell disaster. It really does pay off to put in more time with your critters, especially if you have a hamster.

Hamsters aren’t overly social like many other animals. They don’t mind living the solitary life. That means they aren’t bothered if you can’t pull them out of the cage to play, but it also means it can negatively affect your relationship.

Hamsters that aren’t handled regularly don’t like to be handled at all. By making it a point to spend time with your furry little friend every day, you can build a stronger relationship with your pet. You may even be able to boost his health and increase his lifespan!
