Smile Hi! I'm new here



Hi! I'm new and I came here to learn about hamsters. Currently, my mum got me a hamster for my birthday and I want to give it a good life since my parents know very little about hamsters.

I'm currently still using the cage my mother got the hamster in witch is a 660 sq inch cage although I can't add as much bedding due to it having very little space to fill out the bedding I got for them.

Although, I added an area where it fits 5 inches of bedding I still don't think it's enough for the hamster and I really want to give them everything they need.

The wheel is attached to the cage and it's a wire wheel making it dangerous... I added cardboard on the inside to make sure the wires are covered.

Any help is appreciated!

Hello and welcome to HC!

Maybe you and your parents can learn about hamsters together and you are in the right place to do that.

What species is your hamster?

I’m not as experienced as some people I here but it sounds like you’re doing great!

I just wanted to recommend some wheels that are inexpensive if you’re interested, save you using cardboard.

20cm Trixie Plastic Hamster Wheel (£9.22):
Trixie Exercise Wheel 20cm for Mouse, Dwarf Hamsters Freestanding, Smooth, Quiet 4047974610107 | eBay

^that will be fine for hamsters smaller than Syrian, but main thing to look out for is they don’t bend their back^

28cm Trixie Plastic Hamster Wheel (£12.99):
Trixie 61011 Rotating Ferris Wheel Hamsters, Plastic, ø28 cm, Assortment: Random Colors https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00365P9...DS0BYZHN0HPXX3

Wooden 21cm (£9.69) and 28cm (£14.49) Trixie Wheel (delivery not added):

Hope this helps!
