Why do hamsters burrow ? Because they have a sense of safeness and warmness
in a burrow the hamster is safe and warm that is why your cage should contain
small areas that your hamster can burrow in.
Yes, you can get a dust/sand bath for your hamster. Whatever you do, don't put it under water. It can get easily sick and cold. You can only clean it in water in case of a emergency. A dust bath may cause respiratory problems, and most hamsters don't even roll in it. It is better to get sand because it is safer. Chinchilla sand is good, too. Just sprinkle the dust/sand over the hamster is it doesn't roll in it itself. Try to get as much sand/dust off as you can before letting your hamster run through the cage by stroking it.
Depends on how many hamsters & the size of the cage. The smaller the cage & the more in one cage, the more often it needs to be cleaned. Use natural products, rinse & air dry! They HATE a dirty cage!
Ensure the pet has hamster food and water in his cage at all times. Make sure there is not any excessive moisture in the cage. Keep the hammy at least at 68 degrees. Change water daily. Put a exercise wheel in his cage. Put a good bedding down, they love to be able to bury in the bedding. Be sure to talk and handle him at least 2 or 3 times a week if not daily to ensure he is use to human interaction; otherwise, you'll have a hammy who's always trying to jump out of your hands. Good Luck.
Not necessarily. The initial cost of purchasing a hamster and its supplies can add up, but the ongoing expenses for food, bedding, and occasional vet visits are relatively low compared to other pets. However, unexpected medical expenses can make owning a hamster more costly.
A hamster water bottle should be positioned low enough for the hamster to easily reach the spout with their mouth, but high enough to prevent bedding or debris from getting into the bottle. Placing it at the mid-level of the cage is a good starting point, and you can adjust it based on your hamster's size and habits.
Sanitize the cage and get new bedding and the cage is good as new!

You should use bedding in your hamster cage and you should change it and clean the cage every few days. PetProductsByRoyal.com has some nice hamster cages.
They will make a nest out of the bedding you put in the cage.
no. I have a hamster and usually I change its bedding every week. You do not have to put a whole bag in its cage. happy hamster careing! :-)
New bedding. You can wash the cage- without bedding in it: that would just be messy. I would change the bedding like every week or every other week.
Hamsters hide in their houses in their cage or under their bedding.
for a few days don't put any bedding in their cage.
You should buy it a cage, bedding, food, and a water bottle, and treat the hamster with love and care ^^
Food, a cage, water bottle, bedding, shavings, and somewhere the hamster can play like a wheel.
It's perfectly fine to throw away the nest; your hamster will build a new one!
Its a small or kind of big cage with a plastic bottom and wire top. You put bedding in it and toys. Then a hamster. Go on google images and you can see one. Wow dude. You didn't know that? What part didn't you get? HAMSTER, OR CAGE??????? Yea I'm sorry but that was a gay question. Whats a hamster cage? Really!
