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.
It is recommended to have only one hamster per cage to prevent territorial disputes and fighting. Hamsters are solitary animals that prefer to live alone, so it is best to provide each hamster with their own space and resources in their cage.
It's best to wait until your hamster is comfortable in its new environment, which can take a few days to a week. Once your hamster seems relaxed and not easily startled, you can start by offering treats near the cage to gauge its reaction before attempting to handle it outside of the cage.
Every 6 days, but its a good idea to remove wet woodshavings from wherever in the cage the hamster urinates every day. or once a week
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.
Most hamsters have 5-7 babies. Last year my 1 year old hamster had 18 babies, They can have up to 24 babies They can have about 2-10 babies maybe even 1. About 5 my hamster and my friends hamster had five babies
yes, you can have up two in one cage.
you would probably need a medium sized cage for a male rat as they are quite big. but you could get a cage with a few ladders and and a exercise wheel to keep it active.

1-3 depending on how big the hamster is.
if there is 1 hamster in the cage once a week should do the trick if there are 2-4 try cleaning it 2 or 3 times a week this is coming from a hamster breeder and owner
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.
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.
