What helps hamsters teeth other than chew sticks and hamster food?
dog biscuits help wear their teeth down since hamsters' teeth never stop growing. make sure the dog treats aren'y made from any type of meat since hamsters are not carnivours and should only eat fruits and veggies. carrots are also a good idea. sometimes hamsters will gnaw on their cage bars to wear down thir teeth. hope this helps : )

and not sure about brushing their teeth. i suppose if they let u then just be gentle
Reply:I would ask your veterinarian or go to the pet store where you bought it about the different foods that are good for it. Don't take any risks. The little one could get very sick. I wouldn't even try to brush the teeth. Toothpaste might also be harmful. Remember our pet food recall and toothpaste recall? Very scary. Good luck with the little guy/girl.

Reply:dog biscuits and carrots keep their teeth down, and strong, and no, you cant brush a hamsters teeth
Reply:A hamsters normal commercial diet mix of seeds nuts and cereal should keep his teeth down, but their are lots of other tasty treats that will garentee this.





Hamsters adore dog biscutes! (plain) Almost all hamster web sites and books will recommend this to help their teeth, and hamsters love them.





Dried pasts is popular. I also feed my hamster monkey nuts, brazil nuts and hazel nuts, still incases in the shells so my hamster will use his teeth to the max to get to the nut inside.





All pet stores will also sell wood blocks for hamsters to chew on, sometimes you can get them in fruity flavours. All these foods and treats will stop hamsters from chewing on the bars of their cage too. Alot of people think hamsters do this to trim their teeth down, and its not true. they do it through boredom and it is very dangerous and can lead to brain damage.





Lastly, dont ever attempt to clean a hamsters teeth!! Hamsters teeth continually grow, and renew themselves. They do look yellow, but this is as it should be.

Also, it is recommended to give hamsters about one dog biscuit a week(not too large of a biscuit, though) to help trim their teeth.





Someone stated above that hamsters will chew on their cage bars to trim their teeth. Which is true. However, chewing on the hard metal of the cage bars is dangerous for the hamster, as it can cause misallignment of the hamster's jaw.


Two main reasons for chewing on the cage bars is


1) Not enough chewable objects in the cage


2) Monotony in the cage (Which means that the hamster is bored, so move some things around in the cage and add some branches from non-poisonous trees...ex: Willow or fruit trees)





For your question about brushing your hamsters teeth...there shouldn't be any need to brush your hamsters teeth. If there is a specific medical reason, then you should contact a local vet to do the job for you.





If you have any other questions about anything, feel free to ask me anytime!


Good Luck! :)

Reply:U can actually clip the hamster's teeth with nail clipper's!!! I've done it with my hamster's after reading about it online. It can be a bit tricky but u grab them by the back of the neck, which shows their teeth.....then u clip!!! I can't remember how much to leave there but just clip them half way down. Hammie will probably put up a bit of a fight but it doesn't hurt them. If u need help, get someone to hold while u clip. %26gt;%26gt;%26gt;ZETA!
Reply:I would not brush hamsters teeth because the enamel can be worn away and then it will cause a problem with the teeth. If the hamsters gets board, they might gnaw on the side of there cage. But if there in a tank then they will gnaw them on the toys they have. My 4 hamsters gnaw all the time on their cages.
