Hamsters are very delicate so handle them very softly.

The first day you get your hamster make sure you have a hamster cage, hamster food, hamster water,hamster toys,YOUR HAMSTER(s) ( of course), bedding/litter and chinchilla dust in a small pan. Now you should set up your cage and read the manual then for the first couple of days let your hamster discover its cage.If you have other pets bothering it put them in a different room because it scares the hamster(s)! Hamsters bite and sometimes will not let go so if I were youI would squish the hamster but not too hard just squish it because I would rather have a finger than a hamster because I got bitten 100 times and it HURTS! If you get a male and a female and want to breed make sure they are not from the same Mother. Never put any other hamster species with a roborovski hamster. Roborovski hamsters are the smallest hamster breeds that I know of. Some hamsters do not like company so if they fight then put them in a different cage/aquarium.If your hamster gets mites then put it in some water with soap but not above mouth because it will dround it. If you need more information about food then add me or go to :

How not to scare your hamster?

When first getting a hamster, you should give it a couple of days to adjust. You can start to get to know them by laying your hand in the cage with a treat on it. Your hamster will probably sniff your hand, and then grab the treat. If your hamster bites your hand, pull your hand out of the cage. Keep trying this for a couple of days and your hamster will begin to feel more comfortable around you!

you should probably only sell them to people you know. don't just sell the hamster to the first guy on the street who asks. make sure you know why they want the hamster. ask what kind of pets they have. if they seem responsible for the hamster, sell the hamster for whatever price her mother was or whatever.

Will hamsters run through a maze?

Yes, your hamster will run through a maze. First, make sure your hamster is happy about being in the ball, you and your hamster are feeling safe around your hamster and some comfedence. Also let your hamster know its way around and give it a tour of its maze. Start with an easy one and get harder everytime.
