Where can you purchase winter clothing during the summer?

User Avatar

Asked by Parshall2marshall

Buying Winter Clothes Off-Seasonhave you thought about consignment shops? Go online and check out eBay and other sites. You may find some really good clearance items.

It's really hard to find winter clothing when it's summer.I know that hollister, old navy,and other clothing brands sell summer clothing in the winter. So you should be able to find a store that does sell winter clothing in the summer.

There are some great on-line clothing stores out there, I came across http://www.surfdiveskate.com.au and they had a heap of discounted winter stock selling over last summer. Really fast delivery, I had a jacket for an overseas trip in 2 days.

Why does your hamster not open his left eye all the way when he wakes up?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are a few options -

  1. Something stuck in the eye. This could be a tiny piece of sawdust or food, and is best looked at by a vet. However, this can often go away naturally in a day.
  2. An eye infection, which should be looked at and treated by a vet immediately to prevent blindness.
  3. Swelling caused by the eye being hit by something. Again, see a vet for more advice.

What is wrong if your hamster is acting strangely?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Your hamster could be acting 'odd' if it doesn't have enough outside of the cage time (in an exercise ball and/or even a hamster pen), or maybe for a medical reason. If a hamsters cage isn't cleaned properly it is very very very easy for them to get a disease called "wet tail". The name of the disease basically says it all. They have antibiotics in any pet stores and I even saw them in some Wal Marts. Your hamster could also possibly be dehydrated. Hamsters drink a lot of water. Kind of like humans - if humans don't drink enough water they become dehydrated and can get very ill.

Is a golden hamster better then a dwarf hamster?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yeah!!

A Syrian hamster? I don't think so. They are fatter, bigger, and meaner, in my opinion. I like dwarf hamsters because they are small and cute, and fast, and they have a little stripe down their back. They are also very tame and sweet, most of the time. Sometimes they can be snippy, but not all of the time.

Why did my baby dwarf hamster suddenly die?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

First answer: By not taking care of the animal properly.

More info: Lots of people think they know about rabbits when really they don't. Someone might have given you very bad advice about how to care for your bunny. When you get a new pet, you should always do research on your own, and look for agreement between multiple sources!

Baby rabbits often die because they were taken away from their mothers too early.

Another reason rabbits often die young because they aren't eating the right diet. Rabbits have very sensitive digestive systems, and they can get sick and die very suddenly.

In addition to taking proper care of your rabbits, you should watch them every single day for early signs of illness. Rabbits hide their problems because they are prey animals. Most rabbit sicknesses are treatable by the vet, but if they don't get treatment, the bunny will die a painful death.

What does it mean when a hamster shakes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It means the hamster is very scared or surprised. If this happens all you have to do is give your hamster some personal space and come back later. To avoid this, never wake your hamster up when it's sleeping, never bother it when it's grooming itself, never take it by surprise, and make sure that it's not in direct sunlight or near an open window. Make sure to give it lot's of love!

How can you know if a hamster is a male or female?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When you examine the lower belly of the hamster you should be able to identify two openings. The one closest to the tail is the anal opening, and the one higher up is the sexual opening. There will be a greater distance between the two holes if it is a male than there will be if it is a female. Different breeds are slightly different. If it is a male, you may also notice a scent gland higher up on the tummy than the openings, and sometimes even a scrotal bulge near the tail.

Other

This works with almost all rodents, if you look under a male's tail you will see his testicles, which look like a little pink butt. A female does not have this. This only works on I adults. If it is a Syrian hamster don't touch them until they leave the nest or start exploring.

take it to a vet

You can tell if its a male or female by the way it wees. if its a male a stick thing called a penus comes out from it and if its a female it squats down and wee comes out of its virgina

check for balls. they will be large on the male

You will know trust me. Male hamsters have huge balls. I kid you not.

determine gender of your hamsters? Well, it's pretty easy to identify (as long as you know how) especially when they are sexually matured. (Easier to say I think because I did mixed up my hammys once).

Basically the male exhibits large, pronounced testicles and scrotal sack, and the anogenital distance is greater. The opposite is true for the female, as in most rodent species, where the anogenital distance is less than that if the male.

Hold tour hamster up and look at it's urine holes.if their closer together,your hamster is a female.If it is wider aprt then it is a male.

How do you speak to a hamster so it understands what you are saying?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Rabbits can get familiar with a person's voice, and they can also understand certain phrases. It's important to communicate with your rabbit as much as you can. A rabbit needs attention from either another rabbit, or from a human, rather than being left alone.

Do two dwarf hamsters fight in the same cage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It depends on the species or breed of hamster. Syrian hamsters are strictly solitary. They will fight if they live in a cage together. Dwarf hamsters usually are best kept in pairs, so rarely they will fight, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

How do male hamsters attract a female hamster?

User Avatar

Asked by Narma134

Female ferrets have seasons. And in those seasons, it's not really about the male "attracting" the female. It principally involves the male ferret leaping on the back of the female ferret, biting her neck so as to hold her in place, and consummating the "relationship".
