Food: While traveling, keep a subtle amount of food & treats for your hamster in an airtaight container to assure sanitation. Feed greens sparingly, compared to your hamsters normal diet. Feed your hamster treats on its usual basis.

IF YOUR HAMSTER REFUSES TO EAT while traveling: make sure the food is santitary and/or offer it less treats. Make sure it is housed a suggested in the Recovery section below. If its conditions worsen, take it to an animal clinic or vet immediately.

Water: Tap water is okay for hamsters as long as it is okay for humans. Make sure that water is offered to your hamster in an un-leaky water bottle that is re-filled and washed out with water daily. Dehydration and constipation are very common traveling illnesses, caused by lack of sanitary water. Recovery: Recovery on the move can be altered by your vets' suggestions. It is much more serious if a hamster gets sick while traveling. First off, put it in a cage with lots of bedding, familiar food, and a water bottle that doesn't leak filled with fresh water. Give it plenty of nesting material to use if it gets cold. Make sure your hamster is not bumped about, or handled by strangers to preven stress. Keep your hamster out of direct sunlight, but be sure to keep a constant lighing pattern. 12 hours of ligh, 12 hours of darkness, same as it was (or should be) at home.

Make sure the cage is not placed on the floor/ground, near an open window, or in direct sunlight. Breezes and cool drafts, even too much sun could be stressful. Hamsters are needy when they're ill, aren't they?
