Making the decision on whether to get pets spayed (females)/neutered (males) or not can be overwhelming to pet owners. The idea of having their pets undergo anesthesia creates fear for them.
But what if there are more important health benefits to getting the pet hamsters spayed/neutered? It has been found that there are more advantages of these other than preventing pregnancy. One of them is the prevention of serious illnesses for our hamsters, mainly those that involve the reproductive system.
For example, non-neutered males have a higher risk for testicular cancer, while non-spayed females may develop cancer in the various female organs (e.g., mammary glands and uterus) and some infections. Therefore, the prevention of these more serious systemic conditions, which would cause a lot more for both the pet owner and hamster, for sure is the better option to choose.
