When you watch your hamsters interact in their cage, it’s easy to be worried. That’s because it can be difficult to tell if your hamsters are bullying each other or if they’re playing!
Chasing and squeaking are relatively normal, especially if your hammies are settling dominance issues. Hamsters will pin each other to the floor, only letting up when the other squeaks in submission. As long as no one gets injured, it’s okay to leave them to it.
However, if one hamster injures the other, or if one regularly interferes with the other animal’s ability to get water, food, rest, or exercise, they should be split up so the bullying behavior stops.
If you’re worried about your hamsters getting along, or if one of your critters injured the other one, you should schedule an appointment with your vet clinic Downingtown, PA.
