  • A large cage suitable to the kind of hamster your getting
  • Bedding (for the floor of the cage) such as Megazorb, Carefresh or woodshavings (I would recommend Megazorb, its great, American version is Carefresh)
  • A bag of hamster food, pellets or museli
  • Hamster treats
  • Wooden and plastic hamster toys
  • A hamster house
  • Bedding for the hamster house (available from petshops)
  • A sturdy water bottle
  • A Heavy food bowl (so they don't knock it over)
  • (optional but very useful and fun) A playpen, very good for taming your hamster and if you need to check it
  • *Essential* A plastic hamster wheel. Any size is ok for Dwarf hamsters, but to save back injures/broken bones Syrians must have one bigger than 8". A Savic Jumbo Rolly is very very good
  • Mineral blocks can be used, but are not essential
  • Chews (hamsters teeth never stop growing, so these are essential to keep their teeth nice and short
  • A new toothbrush, to keep the hamsters (longhaired hamsters more than shortharied) fur clean
  • Hamster books

Things you do not need

  • Small animal Shampoo
  • Vitamin Supplements

Hope this has been helpful to you!

Yes, hamsters don't like to be alone. If you are going to introduce a new hamster to an adult you'll need to be patient with it, young hamsters adapt better to new cage mates though.
