Ticks are a common threat to inside and outside pets including Golden hamsters. Hamsters are especially susceptible to ticks if you have other pets such as a cat or dog. Any kind of pet that spends time outside can easily bring a tick or even a flea into the home where it could attach itself to your Golden hamster. If you notice a strange bite or lump on your hamster’s skin then he may have a tick on his skin. Your vet will be able to examine your hamster and determine what the lump is. Ticks do not tend to seek out hamsters especially if your hamster doesn’t roam outside. Follow the directions from your vetfor removal and treatment. Clean your Golden hamster’s cage in case there are any other ticks in his bedding. Treating your other pets for ticks is also recommended.
