Feel free to ask anything It's good to get things right before he or she comes to you. It can help to ask about cage set up, houses, cleaning criteria etc as well. I just read your other thread - do you know which species of hamster you're getting yet? Things like the right wheel size for whichever hamster species it is, setting up so they feel secure etc. And not cleaning for the first two weeks while they settle in. After that spot cleaning mostly is best. Full cage cleans in one go aren't recommended as they cause too much stress to the hamster. So partial ones "as and when" are better. They are very clean little things really - the only unhygienic bit is their pee - and a Syrian will use a litter tray if you provide one, so the rest of the cage stays clean and dry.
