Keeping hamsters properly
Loners with a big urge to dig.
Better alone
Syrian hamsters are loners and must live alone, otherwise there are serious fights. Dwarf hamsters are usually kept on their own too.
Lots of floor space, deep bedding
Hamsters need a lot of floor space and a thick layer of bedding they can dig tunnels in.
The right wheel
The wheel must be big enough for the back to stay straight while running and have a solid running surface.
Nocturnal
Hamsters sleep during the day. Don't wake your hamster, it gets stressed. That's why it's often not the right pet for small children.
In shortAlone, with lots of room to dig and left in peace during the day.
