How do you know when your guinea pigs happy?

Answer 1

Your hamster is happy if it's healthy. To tell that your hamster is healthy do a daily health check -

1. Check your hamster's eyes, ears. scent glands and bottom. Look for any change in appearance, bleeding, discharge or unusual smell.

2. Gently feel all over the body for lumps of injuries.

3. Look at each paw and nail. If the nails are curling around they may need trimming. Older, less - active hamsters are particularly prone to this. Ask a vet to show you how to trim the nails.

4. Carefully draw back your hamster's lips and look at its teeth. Check to see that the incisors are the normal color and length. Report any abnormalities to your veterinarian.

5. Pay attention to your hamster's behavior, posture, physical condition, and eating and drinking habits. Any changes could indicate pain or a health problem.
