How to accustom a hamster to a name
The process of accustoming an animal to a name consists of two main stages - repetition and reinforcement.
Pamper your baby. if he responded to the name. Once a nickname is chosen, it is called when communicating with the rodent as often as possible. This is done:
- being in the same room with an animal cage;
- during cleaning and hygiene procedures;
- during feeding.
In addition, the pet is picked up, stroked, and called by name. The more often they do this, the faster he will begin to respond.
Between feedings, they approach the cage with the animal and call out to it. As soon as he shows interest and pays attention to you, he is given a piece of treat. This technique is repeated several times a day. Within 4-5 days, the female hamster will begin to pay attention to you as soon as you call her name.
When choosing a name for a hamster girl, the owner is free to give one that suits his taste. Leave it to chance. All households write nicknames on small pieces of paper. They place them in a hat and draw lots, which will determine the name of the pet.
