Hamsters

Cute little furry animals that young children can have as pets. If you are thinking about adopting one you will need a hamster cage, with little houses, and bedding for them to sleep in. A feeding bowl and a water bottle. Hamsters like to burrow and sleep during the day, so put the cage somewhere quiet and warm! For the night and playtime they will need a wheel, some ramps and tubes for climbing and exercise. It is a good idea to hold your hamster when you can so that they get used to it. Provide them with fresh food and water before you go to bed to keep them fed and busy during the night. Hamsters live between 2 to 3 years, so take lots of photos and videos of them which you can look back on with fondness!
