What sedative can you give a dwarf hamster?

Answer

Hey Beatriz,

I have a dwarf hamster as well, and I've noticed that he's a bit hyperactive sometimes. Though I take him out often, he likes to have the run of my whole room once in a while. Usually he tires himself out soon enough. I definitely think you try this if you haven't already done so. I'm sure it's a better alternative to sedatives. Hope this helps!

Answer

I would not sedate a tiny animal without the help of a vet even with herbals. However, hamster's teeth grow continually, so they must always have hard things to chew on. Their food mix should have hard kibble and seeds in the shell in it, or give them wood hamster toys from a pet store.
