CHINESE DWARF HAMSTER CAGES ?

      As with many rodents, the Chinese Dwarf Hamster made its entrance as a household pet via the research laboratory. The first animals were used in China to study pneumonia and later black fever. The first group of animals entered the United States in 1957 as research specimens at Harvard. It wasn't until the 1970s that these animals started to become pets. They became popular in the United Kingdom, but it wasn't until the 21st century that they started to gain in popularity in the United States. One of the reasons for this is that some states have a ban on owning this species of hamster, presumably for fear that escaped pets would overrun native animal species.

      Compared to other dwarf hamsters, the Chinese hamster is long and thin. It looks like a mouse or even a rat. Of all the hamsters kept as pets, this one has a visible tail (although short compared to a mouse or rat). Its typical coloring is agouti, and there is a single mutation called dominant spot. This animal is mostly white, with dark patches of fur over its body. It still has the dark stripe extending from the nape of its neck to its tail as does the standard color variation.

     In the world of the Chinese dwarf hamster, females rule. And although they are smaller than the males, they rule with a vengeance. Females regularly fight with one another and with the males. Once a dominant female has established a nesting area, other females, males, and juveniles of either sex are not welcome. Females will also attack and kill any weaker or ill member of their species.

All hamsters can be escape artists, and the Chinese dwarf hamster is no exception. It can flatten out its body such that it can crawl through surprisingly narrow spaces.

     These animals have a curious way of marking their territory. According to authors Albert Chang, Arthur Diani, and Mark Connell (Chapter 17, "Biology and Care," from the book Laboratory Hamsters, edited by G. L. Van Hoosier, Jr. and Charles W. McPherson, Academic Press, Inc., 1987), the most frequently used marking pattern is "scratching the flank gland vigorously with the hind foot, followed immediately by a perineal drag which consists of depressing the anogenital region on the substrate." Dominant females mark more often.

    The scientific name of the Chinese hamster is the subject of debate. Sometimes they are called Cricetulus griseus, and sometimes Cricetulus barabensis. To reduce confusion, some people, including me, have decided to call them the all encompassing Cricetulus barabensis griseus.

   Note that this animal belongs to the genera Cricetulus and not the genera Phodopus, to which the other dwarf hamsters belong.

One thing to keep in mind when keeping the Chinese dwarf hamster as a pet is that you need to provide it lots of hiding places. And, as with all hamsters, remember to never wake a sleeping hamster; and do not chase one all over the cage trying to get it out, as that will only teach it that you are an enemy.http://youtu.be/XSS3moAF8tM 

                          

                    

HOW I CHOOSE DOG COMPANION FOR THE CHILD ?

   

   

                 How I choose Dog Companion for the child?

  Some people would say that no family is complete without a pet - and more specifically, a dog. However, not all breeds of dog are the right fit for every family, especially if the family in question includes small children. There are also many people who say that a small dog isn't necessarily a good choice for families with young children, but is by no means always the case. Of course, it's also true that some families simply don't have the space for a larger dog and in this case, toy breeds may be a better fit.

     A wisely chosen small dog can be a perfect companion for young children, although there are some important considerations which need to be made before making a decision about what kind of dog to adopt. Different breeds have been selectively bred for different traits and of course (and this is very important!) there are individuals within every breed of dog, whether you're talking about the toy breeds or larger breeds, which don't quite fit in with what you'd expect given their breed.

    There are some things that families should know about toy dogs which may make them an especially good (or problematic) choice, depending on the temperament of their children. Toy breeds tend to sleep a bit more than their larger counterparts and require a little less exercise as well. For some families with small children, these may be very desirable traits, while they may make them a little less of a good match for other families.

    One thing that you'll have to decide is whether to adopt a puppy or an adult dog. Despite how cute puppies are and how much fun small children may have playing with a puppy, there are some advantages to adopting an adult dog instead. For instance, their personality is already developed, so you'll know what the dog is like before you take them home. Generally speaking, they've also been trained and housebroken already, so accidents, chewing and other undesirable behaviors are far less likely.

     One thing about small dogs is that they generally don't act like it. They're just as territorial as larger dogs and don't seem to have a concept of how fragile they can be. They move fast, but they can get underfoot easily - or can be accidentally hurt by overly rambunctious children. That's actually the reason that toy breeds have a reputation as not being a good match for young kids; a small dog may feel threatened more easily by a child's innocent play than a larger dog and instinctively growl or bite in response.

Obviously, adopting any dog is something which should be done with careful consideration not only for your family's best interests, but those of the animal as well. Adopting a pet is a serious commitment and you'll need to be sure that you're ready and able to care for your new family member. As long as you know what you're getting into ahead of time and have taught your child how to treat your new dog, they can be a wonderful addition to your family and can help even small children to learn responsibility by helping to care for the dog.

With these words of caution in mind, you'll be ready to confidently select your new canine family member. A well-chosen toy dog will be a part of your family's happy memories for many years to come.
