So, you have a nice and cool, funny-looking and fluffy hamster. It is really GREAT! ))) But, you don’t know how to take care of it. It is BAD! ((( Please, enjoy the following tips, hope they will help you and your beloved hamster-pet.

Choose the right place

I mean where you are going to put a cage with your hamster. An ideal location is far from all kinds of drafts, and direct sunlight. What is more it must be a  frequently visited place.

Nice hamster pet

Make a comfortable cage

Please, don’t forget to cover the cage floor with a bedding, make sure your hamster has an 24/7 access to a clean water bottle. The bottle mustn’t touch the bedding, ’cause when it gets wet, it can rot.

Toys

Hamsters love all kinds of toys and they play with them with pleasure.

Bed

In a figurative meaning of this word. As a rule, hamsters sleep in a special closed cardboard box. Don’t fill this box with anything, leave it to your hamster.

Eating hamster

Food

Traditionally, hamsters eat special hamster-food once or twice a day. If you would like to give your hamster some fruits or vegetables, give very small portions first in order its digestive system to get used to new food.

Cute hamster

Sport

Put an exercise wheel in a hamster cage. Thus, your hamster will always stay healthy and tuned.

Sleeping hamster

Cleaning

It is extremely important to wash your hamster’s cage once a week. And don’t leave the remnants of food in a cage for more than 2 days. And as to hamster itself, don’t even think to bathe it! 

Great hamster

    I’ve never had a hamster in my life but after this wonderful post I would like to have one for myself. I could kiss them, that much they are cute. Each photo is just fantastic that I know which one I like the most. Really wonderful, wonderful post! :-)

    Hamsters are so cute and lovable! We’ve had several hamsters over the years. They do look like little teddy bears! It’s fun to watch them stuff their cheeks with food with their little hands. These pictures make us miss having hamsters around!

    My sister had a hamster for something like five and a half years, which is almost double their regular lifespan. Stubby thing chewed everything, including fingers, but damn it all if he wasn’t so damn cute I still tried to hold him all the time. :)

      HI, HAMMIES ARE GREAT YOU WILL ENJOY HAVING THEM AS PETS. I CURRENTLY HAVE 5 NOW BUT HAVE HAD AS MANY AS 16 AT ONE TIME. THEY ARE FROM THE SAME BLOODLINE AS I HAVE BOUGHT A FEW TO BREED. I KEEP MY HAMMIES IN CAGES AND AQUARIUMS IN MY LIVING ROOM; WHICH IS AIR CONDITIONED AND CAN BE QUITE CHILLY AT TIMES.I ALWAYS MAKE SURE THEY HAVE PLENTY OF BEDDING & MULCH (RIPPED UP TSHIRTS,SOCKS, UNDIES ECT…)THEY NATURALLY WILL MAKE THEIR BEDS IF THEY ARE COLD JUST LIKE THEY WILL SHOVE THEIR MULCH & BEDDING AWAY IF THEY ARE TOO WARM. NOT ONLY WILL THEY SHOVE IT AWAY THEY WILL ALSO SLEEP TUMMY SIDE UP IF THEY’RE TOO WARM.

    if u just got dont just leave it in a cage let it get used to you. Because i used to have 2 hamsters and my littlest one it got out of its cage and when we found her she was under my bed but in the morning my 1 eyed hamster got out of its cage and it did not make it so now im stuck with 1 hamster so i learned my lesson that to have a cage that is closed
