Hamster Home

We choose to have hamsters in our home...lots of hamsters. We love them! Hamsters are one of the best pets you can imagine. None of our hamsters bite, and they are so cuddly, warm and soft. We don't use hamster cages, but instead they each make their home in the bottom of a high-walled plastic bin.

That way, they never stink, we can easily get them in and out quickly, and we can see what they're doing and have lots of interaction with them.

I love it and so do my kids.

Hamsters make a great pet. Try one out today. They are small, cheap to maintain, easy to clean up after, and are the cutest ever.

One helpful pointer I can give you, is do some reading up about hamsters. When do they sleep? How much running in a ball or wheel do they need every day? What kinds of foods do they eat?

Did you know they are omnivores? They need lots of grains and seeds which come in hamster food but they also need some fresh veggies once in awhile and a little protein too.

They are allergic to almonds and tomatoes and citrus fruits.

Find some good websites and start reading up or go to your local library and check out some books. No need to spend any money when there's so much free information!
