Hamsters' teething period usually occurs between 6 and 8 months old. During this stage, a hamster's baby teeth will gradually be replaced by adult teeth, which is part of their growth and development.
In a hamster's life cycle, the teething period is an important stage of development. Hamsters start to explore the world about three weeks after birth. By then, their teeth have already grown in, enabling them to store and crush food. When they reach 2 to 3 months old, hamsters enter their adolescence, a crucial period for personality formation. When they are 6 to 9 months old, hamsters reach adulthood, and their personalities and behaviors become more stable.
To ensure that hamsters can replace their teeth smoothly during the teething period, owners can offer some help. First of all, make sure the hamster gets enough calcium intake. This can be achieved through special hamster feed or calcium supplements. Secondly, provide some toys suitable for hamsters to chew on or hard foods to help them relieve discomfort during the teething period. In addition, it's also very important to regularly check the hamster's dental health to ensure there is no abnormal growth or disease.
