Information
Most
hamsters do not smell if they are cleaned regularly. When
cleaning, the sawdust and old food should be thrown away
and the cage base washed and dried. Place fresh sawdust
in the cage, along with new bedding if necessary. Rinse
the water bottle and fill with fresh water. Then give
your hamster its daily helping of food.
When choosing a hamster check that it is bright eyed and
holds its ears erect. It should be free from open or healing
cuts and should not bite when picked up. Ideally, a hamster
should be between four and eight weeks old when bought
and you should be able to handle it.
