i have 2 dwarf hamsters and ill be away for a week. however, nobody will be around to take care of them when im away.i could not bring my hammy along for ill be flying. can i juz leave extra food and water in d cage when im away? pls help! i need suggestions! tq.

wow, my hamster would not do well being left alone for an entire week.

they need fresh water and food daily. and they need to be cleaned.

For example: What if they run out of water because they tip the bowl over or the hanging bottle has a slight leak that makes it drip out faster?

how long do you think it could go without water?

There’s no one that can watch them? A professional pet sitter perhaps? Ask your vet if there is a pet sitter you could call (they should have flyers)? no friends that can take them for the week, or just come over and check on them? Could you ask your vet to board them? Where I use to work, we boarded g.pigs and rabbits.

I mean, a week is awefully long IMO as a hamster owner.
