Taking Care of a Hamster
89
Here are some hamster cages.
Critter Trail Cages
Treat and chew sticks .
These are some exercise balls. They have many sizes to fit your pet.
Taking care of a hamster can be tons of fun. Hamsters have funny personalities! Here are some things you should know about your pet hamster.Hamsters' are funny, little, cute, balls of fur. But be-careful, they will bite just like any other animal. Its' just instinct. So don't get mad at them and lose your temper.They can have a heart attack very easily.
Hamsters are nocturnal. So they do most of their activity at night . It's best to close your door that way you can get some sleep,instead of listening to the wheel all night long or listening to them biting the bars. They love to hide and go through tunnels and run on their wheels. Hamsters love attention.You must play with your hamster at least once a day for 1 hour. If they start to get antsy put them back in their cage and play with them later.
Your pet hamster must go in a exercise ball. For at least 20 minutes a day. You can buy one at a any pet shop. Make sure you get the right size for your hamster.
Hamsters must have their cage cleaned once a week. You will need to put fresh bedding and hamster food in their cage. Never let them go with out water , they exercise a lot. Always check that their food has'nt spilled. Accidents happen. You should put toys in their cage that way they don't get bored while your gone. These are some toys you should have in their cage to keep them occupied :
tunnels
wheels
ladders
balls
rope for them to climb
slides
You must make sure that their bedding stays dry other wise this might cause milldew or bacteria. Take out any fruits or vegtables in their cage . They can get very sick if the food starts to rot. Put some chew sticks in the cage for your hamster. This helps their teeth from growing too long. Make sure that the food you get agrees with your hamster. They might get sick or have a bad stomach. If you've tried all the other foods you should go tell your vet very soon. If their cheek seems to be swolen and their eyes are watering that means they have something stuck in their cheek - pouch. Tell your vet as soon as possible. But before you call try to get them to drink some water this might help.
They can can get very stinking. To prevent this from happening just put them in a basen or in your bath tub. Which ever one you prefer. The water should be warm, check the water by putting your elbow in the tub. If the water is too hot put some more cold water in there. Let them swim for 5 minutes . This can be very tiring . Some hamsters can't swim that well , they might start to sink. This is very common. You can also put some kind of bath tub toy in there for them. They might play or take a brake on it when they get tired. Then dry your hamster gently , you can use a q-tip to dry their ears. You can also get your blow dryer out and put it on low. They love this.
Hamsters are tons of fun .But you can lose them quite easily.They are sneaky quick little things. If you lose your pet put the cage on the floor. They will probably be in there in the morning , asleep. If not , check behind your refridgerator usually they'll be there.
Wel I hope ya learned something. If I forgot something tell me, please. Thanks : )

Um.. I don't think it's very safe to put your hamster in a bathtub. If you do, make sure it's only up to your thumbnail , and the tub is very clean.
I used to have 2 male dwarf hamsters (brothers) but after a while they had to get put into separate cages because they tried to kill each other lol. but then one ran away and we couldnt find it and the other one died of old age lol x
i now have 2 bigger hamsters (one of them is the first long haired picture^^^)
thanks x

Grrrrrrrrrrrr.......
Thank you so much for the useful information.
Oh um I just want to know somethings.
1.if you put their cage on a small counter, will they be able to be strong enough to push it off the counter?
2.Is it easy for them to open their cage doors because my mom would get super mad if I lost one of my hamsters.
3.If I get a boy hamster and a girl hamster will the girl always turn out to be preganant? If she does then how long will it take for her to have her babies and wll I need a vet to help give the girl hamster birth to her babies?
Sorry about all the questions I just want to be prepared and know everything before I buy my 2 hamsters.
nice info!!!!!!1 I want a hamster sooooo bad but my dad's allergic.
Hi ny hamster had babies and i didnt kno they were a boy or girl so she got pregnant and you dont need a vet to help give birth it just pops out lol and they arent that strong to push off their cage and i think thats it oh ya im not to sure how long it takes but i think its not long
this is so cool because of the cool thing that you can see to buy for your hamster and to know how to set it up

THis is the Sttuppppidest site in the HOLE intire WOrLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You Guys are fucken retardes
Yeah i agree with dat dude o ur girl sorry not!!!! This is a dumb site!!! EWE GROSS hamsters
guys how can i keep my hamster warm in winter,., its about winter here,, and when i saw my hamster she is shivering,. so i always cover her cage with a blanket,, so i need tips rather than covering her with a blanket i think its not effective..thnks,.,
my hamsters escape a lot!!!!!! they usually go down to the basement. one got lost for three days; he hid in a rip in the cloth under a couch.
A hamster should never be washed, since hamsters keep themselves clean. If you bath a hamster, it would catch a cold and die.
Hamsters produce their own natural oils to maintain the condition of their fur and will spend a long time grooming. So I would not recommend bathing a hamster since it will not enjoy it and bathing may make the hamster's fur look worse. If your hamster smells bad then you should clean the cage more frequently.
I have wanted a hamster for a year now, but I haven't really told my parents. Today I saw a hamster in the pet store and I told my parents. My dad said yes mom said maybe I'm hoping that this site will convince her.
how did you no this stuff?
