WHY DOES MY DWARF HAMSTER CHIRP?

While the idea of your small dwarf hamster producing high-pitched chirping, screaming, and squeaking noises may seem to be adorable and appealing, it is not.

 However, the reason for these vocalizations isn’t always pleasant, which is why it’s so vitally crucial to constantly pay attention to your pet hammie’s communication cues, which range from chirping to other forms of communication.

Wariness

The production of a high-pitched chirping sound in hamsters may sometimes signal fear. This form of vocalization is most common in hamsters that are unfamiliar with a setting, although it may occur at any moment.. 

In the case of a new dwarf hamster that is producing these noises, it might just be that he is feeling scared and afraid at the time, regardless of whether you are trying to physically contact him or wipe food crumbs from his cage.

 In these sorts of circumstances, fearful hamsters are more likely to bite, so leave him alone and refrain from handling him. Always use extreme caution while dealing with frightened hammies. Fortunately, this apprehensive behavior usually fades as a hamster becomes used to his new surroundings — and to you, as well.

There is a difference between play fighting and serious fighting.
In the hamster world, dwarf hamsters are normally the best adapted for communal life, and they are frequently found in groups of two. Chirping is a common form of entertainment for hamsters.

 If you witness a hamster chirping in the middle of a brief and frolicsome arguing session, he may just be taking pleasure in a playful battle for control inside the confines of his cage. For those who see evidence of physical injury, such as chirping and biting, racing after or “trapping,”

 it’s time to separate the couple, most likely for the foreseeable future. It is possible that these actions indicate that the “playing” isn’t really so fun after all. Genuine hamster fighting may be exceedingly dangerous, and in certain cases, even lethal, therefore take urgent steps to prevent this from taking place.

Unsatisfaction

Dwarf hamsters may also chirp when they are unhappy, which is an indication of unhappiness. The next time you’re stroking the back of your dwarf hamster someplace outside of his cage and you hear him suddenly start chirping, it’s possible that this is his way of communicating that he’s not enjoying the touch any more and that he wants you to stop. 

If you believe this to be the case, return your small hammie to his “safe haven” as soon as possible.

I’m in pain or sick.

Chirping may be an indication that a dwarf hamster is feeling sick or otherwise unwell in various circumstances. It’s possible that the tiny one has a wound somewhere on his body. It’s possible that he’s suffering from a stomachache.

 Aside from vocalization, be on the lookout for other signs that your pet may want assistance, such as crouching or having difficulty eliminating. If you have any reason to believe that anything is wrong with your hamster, you should contact your veterinarian as soon as possible.
