Once you get your hamster, you need to properly care for your pet. You will need to select a cage for your new furry friend. There are many of varieties to choose from. There are wire cages, aquariums and plastic cages. Either one will be good, just be sure that it is roomy enough for your hamster to run around in. I like the two story wired cages, but those are a bit spendy.
Hamster litter or bedding on the bottom of the cage will make your hamster happy. Bedding you can use for the cage are:
* Wood shavings
* Torn paper towels
* Wood chips
Do Not use:
* Anything poisonous (Most hamsters are allergic to Cedar.)
* Anything sharp
* Anything entangling
* Anything fluffy
* Cotton wool
Other equipment you'll need:
* Water bottle
* Feeding dish. Make sure it's heavy enough so that your hamster can't tip it over.
* A hamster wheel, since your hamster will need exercise.
You can also put together other fun homemade toys in the cage like toilet paper tubes put together!
You can put a little hamster house or a box for your hamster to sleep in.
You should put the cage in an area that is warm and free of drafts. Don't keep the cage in sun light, since hamster are nocturnal!
