Your hamster is an active little fur ball and you want to make sure you are able to know her well. However, some behaviors are beyond your comprehension, like her chewing habit. Why is this so appealing to her?

Your pet needs to be able to chew on things in order to help maintain her teeth. Since they are always growing, your hamster needs to constantly tend to them. Chewing is her way of doing this. It helps keep her teeth filed down to a manageable length and allows her to use them safely. If they get too long, there is a good chance they will break and this could put your pet in a position where injuries can easily occur. There are a ton of products on the market to help your pet chew on safe items. For more information, please contact your local Conyers, GA veterinarian.
