Your hamster is a small creature who depends on you to keep her as safe as she can be. This is particularly true when you are handling her. How can you keep her safe while doing so?

Your pet needs you to understand that she can get startled easily. This means that you will need to keep your voice low and your movements slow so she can adjust to changes as she is being held. She needs you to keep her close to the ground in case she wants to try and scurry out of your hands. This is why it’s a good idea to sit down while handling her. Anticipate her wanting to move around, so keep a good grip on her while still being gentle and keeping her comfortable. Your local registered Livonia MI vets can help you offer your pet a wonderful place to call home.
