I like to live alone.
I can be noisy at night, which might disturb you. I can be grumpy, as well, if you wake me up when I’m asleep!
I am great at escaping, so make sure my cage is safe and secure!
I need exercise and entertainment, so make sure that I have playthings (but not too many!) and something to help me exercise, such as an exercise wheel with a solid tread.
I need fresh water, so check that my water bottle is at the correct height and has no leaks.
I like to eat special hamster food, a mix of seeds and nuts.
Give me a small amount of fruit instead of sticky treats which make me fat, rot my teeth and get stuck in my cheek pouches.
I like to store food, so remove any uneaten food each day.
My teeth grow all of the time so I need hard things to chew on - washed wood from fruit trees is great!
Check me over regularly and if you are worried about me, ask an adult to take me to the vet.
