Golden hamster - company
Do golden hamsters need company?
No – golden hamsters must be housed alone. They are different from dwarf hamsters, which should usually be housed together. Make sure you know whether yours is a golden hamster or a dwarf hamster – it’s an important difference!
Who should care for my hamster if I go on holiday?
If you go away, you should leave your hamster in the care of a trusted friend or neighbour. A small transport cage will allow you to transfer your hamster safely.
