Caring
for a hamster as a beginner can be fun and rewarding! Here's a simple guide to
get you started:
1. Choose the Right Hamster
· Syrian Hamsters: Largest and easiest to tame; must live
alone.
· Dwarf Hamsters: Smaller, more active; can sometimes live in
pairs if introduced young.
2. Set Up a Proper Cage
· Minimum size: 450 square inches of floor space.
· Bedding: Use paper-based or aspen bedding (no pine/cedar).
· Hideouts: Provide places to sleep and hide.
· Wheel: Solid surface, at least 8 inches diameter (12" for
Syrians).
3. Feed a Balanced Diet
· Main food: Hamster pellets or a seed mix.
· Fresh food: Small bits of fruits/veggies like carrots, apple, or broccoli
(no citrus).
· Clean water: Fresh and always available in a bottle.
4. Keep It Clean
· Spot clean daily: Remove soiled bedding.
· Full clean: Every 1-2 weeks, change bedding and clean accessories.
5. Socialize Gently
· Give your hamster time to adjust.
· Start by talking softly and offering treats.
· Handle gently and regularly once it's
comfortable with you.
6. Monitor Health
· Watch for signs of illness: lethargy, weight
loss, wet tail, or changes in behavior.
· Hamsters can live 2–3 years with proper care.
