What is the best cage to get a hamster and what should i get with it2007-11-24 22:17:03Answers:

I've had many gerbils, mice and a hamster. The best thing to get is an aquarium. Ten gallons works fine for one. There is no chance that the hamster will get out, the litter will stay in the cage and you can see in very well. Also, makes sure you get a sturdy cover for the top, they can jump out. I had one that fit over the top and it was heavy enough that they couldn't push it off. I've also had some that sat on top and had locks that slid under the ridge but if you forget to slide them close the hamster can get out, I've had this happen. Get a food dish and a water bottle that hangs from the side. I do not reccomened a gravity water bottle, get one that has a ball in it, they can drink much easier. You should also get a shelter for them to sleep in and something for them to chew on. I also suggest wood shavings as the litter, it prevents smells and it works well and is cheap.

a strong wire cage, not plastic as they can chew through it and its harder to clean, and make sure the door closes securely...hamsters are escape artists..also get a water bottle, chew sticks, food, treats, hamster wheel for in the cage, and hamster ball for playtime outside the cage, good absorbent bedding.i recommend care fresh brand...absolutely not cedar!!! also a hamster-ka-bob...they sell them in most pet stores and you can put fresh veggies and fruits on it and keep it out of the litter...hamsters are fun, get a good breed and make sure it seems calm...don't just pick a color because you like it. best hamsters i ever had were a dalmatian (black and white) or a black bear (solid black with white or pink feet) good luck!
