Wishing you all the best and looking forward to future posts! Really glad you’ve taken responsibility to ensure the best care for your hamster.

Everyone is completely right about the children thing as they say a lot of kids get bored. I do think though in a lot of cases, parents get children hamsters thinking they naturally look after theirselves and just give up when a child stops playing. From what you’ve said, even if your children lose interest it sounds very much like you’re holding full responsibility and have full interest in one yourself for this new hammie. Just be sure they don’t rough handle them!

Also I was 9/10 when I had my first hamster and my parents did absolutely nothing. At the time the cage was a suitable size and we used wood shavings because I knew no better but I did absolutely everything myself. I even used my pocket money for all the supplies. I think if your children are mature enough and with your correct guidance your hammie will be well looked after for sure
