Must have an area of three square feet of glass or plastic, also a mesh ceiling. Habitat must consist of an elevated reachable water source (water bottle). Needs daily exercise and toys. Toys must be rotated weekly to keep hamster occupied and stimulated. Exercise Wheels are an option but not permanent.
Toys such as wheels, wooden blocks, tubes, tunnels, exercise balls, toilet paper rolls, sticks, and multi colored bedding. Time outside of the habitat in a designated area (bathtub, playpen, etc.) 1-2 hours a day.Bedding can not be cedar, or wood shavings to prevent illness, and deformity. 1-5 inches of Paper or card board shreds are highly prefered. Multi colored bedding keeps them entertained being they will sort, and organize the bedding.
Great accessories like tubes, tunnels, and ladders keep them fit and exploring. A hut or house keeps them warm and safe from the prying eyes of its audience.
