Hamsters

Christmas is on the way and if your family is anything like mine, the requests for Wiis, XBOXes, DSes and other unpronouncable electronic consumables are flooding in faster than you can say 'Santa has a bit of a painful overdraft'. Then, in a flash of inspiration you realise that getting a small rodent-like pet would be just to thing to take their minds off the latest computer games. They have always wanted a little pet, and the bank manager will love you forever if you just fork out for a tiny rat-like creature rather than the latest computer games, right? You remember, you had one as a kid - you called it Hammy - and you loved it to bits, and you ...  Read the complete review

I have had hamsters for as long as I can remember. They make a great companion and a loving addition to any household! The hamsters I have had over the years have all had very different personalities. My current hamster is the type that wants to bite everything and is harder to handle than the majority of the other hamsters I have previously had. My last hamster was the most docile you could get, I could let her run around the lounge and she would be fine and could also handle her all the time and she never bit anyone! Hamsters are mammals that belong to the rodent family having large incisor teeth that are continually growing necessitating gnawing ...  Read the complete review

==Hamsters== Preparing for your hamster Hamster cages: Hamster cages are the most expensive thing you will buy when it comes to a Hamster so if you are going to spend money, make sure you buy a reasonably good cage. Make sure the bars aren't widely separated as the hamster can squeeze through, believe me it happened with my very first hamster.

But if the cage you purchase does not have those accessories, you might want to get them before the hamster so you ...  Read the complete review

I've had many hamsters in my life - I've loved every one of them. All my hamsters have been Syrians - they make excellent pets which I've been told can't be said for dwarves. For very little care and attention they'll provide you with hours of affection. They're also really funny at times and are, of course, the cutest things you'll ever see. I've focused on hamsters and given very little information on how to care for them. I will be writing a care guide in the Ciao Cafe later. Also, please ignore the ratings in specific criteria - they are meant for pet food and Ciao requires them to be filled out. My Hamsters I thought I'd start by telling ...  Read the complete review

I had a hamster about 1 year ago for 2 years and I got another one a month ago. I love them! My hamster cost's me about £5 a week. This is spent on vitamin drops, food, toys, nibbles, treats, anti-bacterial spray, wood shavings and soft bedding. *About hamsters* Hamsters come in different colours and they love playing around. You can buy your hamster toys like see-saws, tunnels, wheels, ballls, t.v's, potty / toilet, baskets, cubes and tubes ect. Hamsters like to keep themselves clean but don't like to keep there home clean. This means you will have to wipe up there poo and wee everyday. Hamsters love fresh food like apples, pears, sweetcorn, ...  Read the complete review
