do you need to take your hamster to the vet for a check up???
Answers:
if your hamster is fine and healthy and showing no problems then i would really bother, it would only stress the animal out to take him or her the vets to be poked and prodded, and for it to be for nothing then i think it is pointless. it is how ever good practice to take larger animals to the vets routinely for check ups
Depends what 4??
You don't need to... unless they're showing some symptoms you're concerned about. If they're sneezing, have any unusual bumps, or they're acting extrmely strangely, I would recomend a visit, but otherwise, they're generally hardy animals.
Not for checkups, but something seems to be wrong contact an exotic pet vet.
Only if they seem unwell, it they are healthy and well, no need.
Yes you should. Mine died of an eye infection January 9, 2006. He was only a few months old too, not even an adult.
Like with any pet it is always a good idea to take your pets to the vet for a monthly checkup. It's also good to make sure you discuss your pets diet and nutrition needs and have them tested for any skin conditions etc. Making sure they have their current shots is also vitally important.
I've just discovered the burnt out remains of a corpse of an aged hampster in an abandoned Sinclair C5 and I'm ****ing distraught!
Nope, if you hamster is normal, and no funny thing is happening, then there is no need to brig it to the Vet. If your hamster is sick, do bring it to the vet :)
good luck

it depends wot 4 ive gotta hamster and i took it to the vets but its up2 u really
Some people like to take their hamster to the vets every six months for a check up, sometimes, for a check up when it is first brought home.
Personally, I wouldn't take a hamster to the vet unless it is ill, it would only stress the hamster which in such a small animal is worse then just leaving it at home, unless it is showing signs of there being something wrong, then take it.
Hope this has helped
unlike larger animals it would be really stressful to go to the vets for no reason if there is nothing wrong with them or something that you are worried about .
If you keep their cage clean, and you handle them at least once a day to make sure they are healthy then no, you should be fine. However, if you don't pay that much attention to them, then it is probably better to get a professional eye to go over them every once in a while.
Again, just handle them, and while you're playing, make sure that it's not limping, that its fur is not wet, and, VERY importantly--that its fingernails are not too long.
Love and care each day will keep the doctor away! ; )
no
no. unless there is something wrong with it. ive had loads of hamsters and not 1 has gone to the vet.
hamsters do look rough for their last 6 months of there life so dont worry as long as they are eatting and drinking they will be find.
any reason why you ask this question??
No, not unless you think theres something up.
My hamster is 2 years old and never been to the vets. Mind you, he only cost me 拢5 so would be loath to pay vets fees anyways!!
