Taking Care Of Hamsters...

In this post I am going to tell you how to take care of your hamster, I hope that this helps so lets begin:

There is many different breads of hamster such as Russian Dwarfs and Syrian hamster.  I myself have a hamster, and I have a Russian Dwarf one.  When you first buy your hamster you must make it a nice bed for it to sleep, and give it plenty of water + food.  You also have to leave them in their cage for about 2-3 days for them to just settle in to their new home as they have never been there before.  And every week you have to clean its cage by taking everything out putting the bedding and stuff like that in the bin and replacing it with new ones.  Also you should clean the cage with anti-bacterial spray so that your hamster does not catch a disease.  And a way to see if there is something wrong with your hamster you should feel its tail to see if it is wet because if it is then you would have to take it to a vet.Or if you notice that something is just not right then you should take your hamster to the vet just to be on the safe side.  You should take your hamster out regularly and play with it for a bit, but don't take it out every 10 minutes because your hamster need to rest.  When you want to travel with your hamster then you need to buy a special cage for it to go in so that it has space,water and food,you can get these from various pet stores like 'Pets At Home'.  Also make sure that your hamster gets exercise in a whell or hamster ball.  Always make sure that your hamster has enough food and drink everyday.  And this is about all you need to know to care for your hamster but if you are still not sure then go to the shop were u bought your hamster or just a local vet shop.  I hope that this has helped you!  Until the next time!
