Before you pick up your hamster you should already get the cage set up and cleaned out because as soon as the hamster gets home it's gonna want to go in it's cage so prepare everything before you get your new hamster.

∙ 14y agoIt's pretty much luck of the draw with hamsters. You could get one that bites or that is mean or one that is the nicest and most snuggly one ever. Usually the pet stores will take them back if they are mean and you can get a different one but if you think you have a mean one once you get it home you should still keep it for 8-10 days and work with it. If it still hasn't improved then you should probably take it back to the pet store. You also should know what you need: * Cage * Bedding * Food * Treats * Something they can chew on: chew sticks are the best thing to use DO NOTuse something lieing around your house. Buy the specific kind at the store. * Waterbottle and food dish: Some of the cages come with them and some don't. * Igloo home * Wheel * Hamster Ball It is best just to get one hamster instead of two because usually if you have to in the cage then one will eat the other or else they will fight. Some people thjink that they shpould pet it right when you get it home but it is much better to let it get used to its cage for about two das and then start to let it get to know you. And don't ever give up on it right away. Just work with it and it may get better. Hope this helps!!

∙ 11y agoHere are some things that you'll need for a hamster...
- A big cage. If you're getting a robo hamster you'll want a bigger cage so they could run around more.
- some food. you don't want your hamster to be hungry!
- bedding. I would prefer Carefresh small animal bedding.
- a water bottle. So you can give your hamster some water every day!
- a wheel. Now some cages come with a wheel but if they don't i would suggest a silent spinner wheel. it makes no noise and it's very silent for all small animals.
- a food dish. you'll of course need a food dish for your hamster! get a ceramic dish instead of a plastic, because if you use a plastic container, they'll chew through it!!
- some chew toys. all hamsters need a chew toy, chews come in various colors, shapes, and styles!
- some treats! this is one of my favorite parts of getting a hamster! But, don't feed your hamster too many treats, or he or she will get very sick.

Then pack a bag with food, water and anything else that your hamster needs, because you never know how long you will be at the vet.

How do you know if your hamster has a concussion?
Honey, I was wondering the exact same thing before my hammy died...I hope that didn't scare you ... >> Well, for a hamster to have a concussion, it must've taken a fall. Therefore no fall, no concussion. Since hamster's can't puke or anything, it's hard to tell. If your hamster is kind of out of it, not walking straight, disoriented, it just might have a concussion. However, you should take your hamster to the vet. They probably won't charge you anything if they don't do anything besides diagnose, so don't worry about the cost. Either way simple hamster procedures (sorry, I couldn't think of another word. I mean like putting on a little cast kinda of idea) only cost $50 or less. I don't think that they'll be needing to do any of that, they'll just give you any advice if your hamster does have a concussion. Best of luck with that,
