Can hamsters have rabies

Answer 1

Usually animals that get rabies are carnivores, like cats, dogs, skunks. Hamsters are carnivores, they are herbivores. If an herbivore has rabies, it is probably because it was attacked by an animal with rabies and got away. This doesn't usually happen.

Answer 2

Yes, all animals can get rabies. Although, it's not very common, and I am sure you would be able to tell - it can kill the hamster after only 42 hours. Remember to wash your hands before and after you play with it.

If you suspect you hamster has rabies, be careful touching it. The rabies can be transmitted through the animals suliva.
No, hamsters are too small to have rabies. The smaller the animal the harder it is to get rabies. Hope this helps! =)

Answer 3

It is unknown if a hamster at pet-land had or has rabies. Rabies is a virus that can effect any mammal. the likely hood that a hamster would have rabies is not high simply because they would have to come in contact with another mammals saliva... normally through a bite wound. it is safe to say that it does not have rabies but if it were to have rabies being from petland and around alot of other mammals it could be possible.

Answer 4

No. No species inherently has rabies. Rabies is extremely deadly to animals; the fatality rate is essentialyl 100%. If hamsters were born with rabies they would have gone extinct a long time ago.

Answer 5

mostly no. hamsters are brought up in home and mostly indoors only if they were bitten by some other wild animal they can become rabid .if a hamster(that too,new)

bit you it will cause no harm just wash your hand and put on some antibiotics it will be alright or if your still scared watch your hamsters for the next 10 days and go to the doctor

Answer 6

The rabies virus is carried in the saliva of an infected hamster and can be spread to a healthy hamster through a bite. If a hamster is bitten by a larger animal with rabies, it is unlikely that a hamster would survive the bite in the first place. So a hamster with rabies is possible, but pretty rare.

Answer 7

Rabies would not be in the teeth, but the saliva and body.

Answer 8

no
