Are hamsters easy to take care of2007-11-24 21:57:56

are hamsters easy to take care of cause my friends died and i thought having hamsters are hard

Answers:

They are "easy" per say but the problem is THEY ARE SO DAMN SMART. You have to literally make sure the cage is escape proof because they will use it to their advantage and get out. Other then that yeah I would say they are pretty easy to take care of. Once they are tame and settle down. To save yourself painful bites don't buy any hamster that seems shy or scared buy one that seems comfortable around humans.

I think they are quite easy to take care of. I feed mine every other day and clean their cage about once a week. It really does not get much harder then that. Make sure they have anice quiet spot to live, water and food and they will be oaky!

No they are not easy to take care of and their gross...they will stink up your whole house you have to clean there cage daily because their urine is really strong. I think a lot of people assume they are easy to take care of cause their small animals, but if they escape good luck!. And their like rabbits so make sure to get only one...lol

ya hamsters are easy to take care of they are very low mantence animals and need little space hammies like to be alone and do not like people and they bite all the time

Hamsters basically take care of themselves as long as you provided them with everything they need. Food and water, an area to excercise, and a place where they can hide and feel secure. I would recommend cleaning the cage at least once a week, sometimes even twice. Their pee reaks!! Try getting some bedding that neutralizes the odor.

They're extremely easy to take care of. All ya gotta do is get them a good cage that they can't get out of, a couple toys [exercise wheel type thing], and some sort of block of wood or something they can gnaw on to keep their teeth down. Make sure you give them fresh food and water everyday. Clean their cage once a week. When you clean their cage you need a place to put them. Get them a ball they can roll around in [buy it at the petstore] and make sure they cant roll their way down any stairs, because that would be tragic. Oh, and don't let them near bigger pets [cats, dogs]
