very unfortunately my first hamster was a christmas present at age 11, I was given a crittertrail, oxbow pellet food, a hamster ball, and individual 1" bedding trays for a female syrian. after getting her, I was not allowed to upgrade her, buy her toys or treats, or spend any money on her unless I was out of food or bedding.

my mom had told me that her chewing on the bars all night long was just part of owning a hamster and that it showed that I wasn't responsible enough to have a hamster. even worse, I got another hamster after the first one died and he was so stressed that he passed away after a week. thankfully I decided not to get another hamster for a few years and when I did end up with another hamster, I did my research and bought everything for myself.
