"The Bare Necessities"
When you make your trip to the pet store, be sure that you purchase everything that your hamster will need. Who doesn't want the best environment possible for the cutest animals in the world? Let's start with the bigger things. Its habitat is the place where your hamster will play and live. The best thing for your hamster is a glass aquarium, although you can't go wrong with regular cages. The only problem is that hamsters are small little escape artists. Hamsters have been known to escape their cages. What a catastrophe! As long as you keep your hamster in a safe place where he is always under supervision, a cage should be fine. Alright. Let's move on to the layers. If you don't put cushioned layers at the bottom of your hamster cage, he will eternally be sliding and slipping his way around. You don't want that, do you? You can use several newspapers, little strands of things that are found in kids' Easter baskets. If you are willing to let fine cloth rot, you may use cloth. Every night you may have to scoop out your hamster's waste. If you are not willing to do this, a hamster may not be the animal for you, because hamsters poop A LOT. Anyway, buy some hamster food at the pet store and store it in a designated bin. Place this in the hamster cage all day long, so your hamster may eat whenever he desires. If you see signs of obesity in your hamster, only leave the food bin in the cage for a few hours. For their drinking water, you may use a tap, or just put a water bottle in the cage.
