Hamster Home

Where a hamster lives for its entire life should take some deep thought and there are a fair amount of factors you should take into consideration. Firstly you should decide on a type of cage dependant on the budget you have to spend and the hamster species you decide to use. There are several types of cages and you can buy some very entertaining accessories for your hamster too.

Some factors you should take into consideration very seriously as the result could be devastating for your hamster are listed below:

- Avoid any draughts or temperature changes that the hamster cage will be in
- Avoid direct sunlight as your hamster will overheat very quickly and have nowhere to shade himself
- Do not choose a very cold air conditioned room
- If you have a dwarf hamster or chinese, buy a specifically built cage for dwarf or chinese hamsters as they cage fit through some bar gaps in various cages that are meant for teddybear hamsters.

Hamsters generally pick their own bedding areas if you give them the bedding material, however you can buy special bedding areas to treat your hamster.

One requirement a hamster needs and loves is aspen shaving as not only do they dig around and play in them but they use it for they essential every day duties also make sure you purchase hamster aspen bedding and not any other kind.
