Default Re: Hamster care (chinese)

What is it you want to know Baby Grrr?
Housing/taming/feeding.....?
Many aspects of care are the same as for any other type of ham, suitable substrate & nesting material, a good sized cage, Chinese are very active & agile so they need enough space but plenty of hideouts as they don't like things too open, if you get a barred cage you'll need to be sure bar spacing is no more than 1cm (less than 1/2") at most.
Your biggest challenge in the US will be finding suitable food for a Chinese as they can be prone to diabetes & need a sugar free diet.
