What names should you not choose for your pet?

The new family member should like the nickname. You can notice this by constantly calling the animal by name. If the hamster does not respond, this may indicate not only that the pet is naturally deaf, but also that he does not understand his name.

You should not name an animal using complex combinations.

Firstly, it will be difficult for the owner to constantly pronounce it, and soon he will get tired of the nickname. Secondly, rodents do not perceive complex nicknames because they cannot remember them.


Umka and Tisha respond to their names.

Other options

It happens that the chosen nicknames do not suit the new inhabitant of the house or these options are not liked by the rest of the family members. In this case, other categories of nickname selection are used:

  1. Idol name . Many fans of actors, athletes, singers and other celebrities name their pets after them. There is an incredible number of Djungarian hamsters living in the world, responding to the names Messi, Katie, Jolie, Brad, Rihanna and others.
  2. Movie or cartoon characters . Not a bad option for a child who loves this or that cartoon. Adult rodent owners often use this method.
  3. Common names . Many people prefer simple, human names. That's why they call Djungarian hamsters Masha, Vasya or Shura. Foreign names are often chosen - Willie, Billy, Dave.
  4. Your first or last name . Sometimes derivatives from one’s own name or surname are used to name an animal - Marie, Nyura, Vita, Zhorik, Laura.

In the case when several dzungariks are started at once, paired names are selected. For two boys, Simba-Bimba, Baby-Krepysh, Vitya-Mitya are suitable. For a couple of girls, the ideal names would be Fenechka-Semechka, Mouse-Shishka, Monka-Sonka. For children of different sexes, appropriate nicknames are chosen - Billy-Willy, Kai-Gerda, Dwarf-Snow White, Tom-Jerry.

Among the unusual names for a pair of Djungarians there are options such as Sun-Grain, Shrek-Fiona, Strawberry-Peach.

How to train a rodent to respond to its name

Despite the low level of intellectual development, the rodent is able to learn its name.

To do this, you need to fulfill several conditions:

  1. Choose a simple nickname for your pet. It should consist of 1-2 syllables, for example, Chip, Tom, Dale.
  2. Say your pet's name more often and talk to it.
  3. Reward your animal with a treat when he pays attention to you.

If these conditions are met regularly, the hamster will begin to respond to your voice and learn the name. To teach your pet more complex commands, you can download the training manual on the Internet and master it.
