How do Hamsters Communicate
Hamsters aren't like dogs that tend to make all sorts of noises or body postures in order to tell you what they want, but they do have a means of communication with you and with other hamsters.
For example, if the hamster is circling and sniffing another hamster, it is trying to check it out and figure out if it's of any threat to him or his home. Or, if the hamster has his ear laid flat or back, he may be suspicious of you or of what is going on.
If you watch your hamster, you will start to pick up on the different body cues that he may make, but it will definitely take a little bit more time to distinguish what your hamster is trying to tell you, especially when compared to a dog with raised hackles.
