First i would either get a book on basic hamster training(eg. food, taming , temperament,handling) or look it up on web.
Then look for a suitable cage for a dwarf hamster (habitrail mini may be a good option).
(i would assemble cage before getting hamster as you may find a problem with it).
After finding a suitable place for it in your room and having bought in food and bedding you should be good to go.
Hope i helped:)
WOW! Nearly 3 years! I'm afraid that is in about 90-100 years old in human years. Dwarf hamsters usually only live until roughly a year an a half. well i don't have a Chinese dwarf hamster, but i have a Russian dwarf hamster and he is over 3 years old. he will be 3 years 1 month old on the 7th July. ive got no idea what age he is in human years i have no idea i need some help to find out
Syrian hamster - 2-3 years Dwarf - 1-2 years

Well Boy hamsters live longer than girls.But i could say how long all hamsters live for.. Syrian Hamster:2-3 years Dwarf Cambells Russian Hamster: 1.5 - 2 years Dwarf Winter White Russian Hamster:1.5- 2 years Roborovski Hamster: 3- 3.5 years Chinese Hamster:2.5 - 3 years I you have any questions about hamster please check out- About.com
1 to 3 maybe even 6
If they are well looked after, then about 2-3 years.
About four years if he's healthy, but many have problems after 3 years old.
At Petco they cost $2-10 US, I got a dwarf hamster and it cost $2.99.
Hamsters do not have a long life spand,they will only live 2 to 4 years.
Different dwarf hamsters have different lifespans: * Chinese dwarf hamster has a lifespan of 2 to 3 years * a Russian dwarf has a lifespan of 1.5 to 2 years, but if well looked after, can live longer - even 4 or 5 years * roboroski dwarf has a lifespan of 3 to 3.5 years Most average dwarf hamsters live to about 2-3 years.
most live about 2-3 years, but dwarf hamsters only live about a yearwhat! i have a dwarf it cant live up to about one year my hamster still looks healthy and doesnt look like it is about to dieThree years on average. If the hamster is healthy and under good care it can live up to five.
the dwarf hamster is normally fully grown at the age of 3 months!!!I know that is a very short period of time,but i have asked a clerk at pet supplies plus & that's what he said so im guessing its a legit answer & plus i have a hamster book that came with my hamsters & it also says that!!!:)so I'm guessing that its is true:)
