Your cage does not have to be very large. As long as there is room for food, water, an exercise wheel, a place for you hamster to sleep, and a little extra room for walking around, you should be fine.

Is a hamster worth it?

It is a really easy responsibility. It doesn't always need to be played with and you just need to feed it and give it water once a week. every 1-2 weeks you should clean it's cage. It will start to smell. Hamsters can have a lot of fun with you and by themselves. To exercise put them in a ball and they will run around. It is a lot of fun and loves to crawl around. don't think of it like a mouse or rat. Its a small animal with no long tail. Its usually only about a centimeter long. They usually cost from $5-12. The expensive part is the cage. But after you buy the cage the rest is easy. I recommend not to get a plastic cage.

What is the correct and safest method of picking up a hamster?

There are several methods for picking up a hamster. The two safest methods are: 1) Lower a container into the cage and let the hamster climb into it. This method is safe and keeps the hamster from biting your fingers. 2) Cup your hands together and slide them under the hamster to lift it out of the cage. Or slide one hand under the hamster and cup your other hand over the top of the hamster.


Why is my hamster going in circles It share its cage with 1 other hamster and its cage is 7 by 12. Why Everything seems normal on my hamster. HELP?

Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
