Make sure it is a large one, generally getting those hamster cages that are plastic that can connect to others make great ones because that way the hampster has a place to roam, you know the brightly colored cages that have all those fun little tubes and wheels and such? A happy hampster makes for a happy experiences

A bird cage and use a bread tie (or twist tie) to reinforce the door because the little critters are smarter than you think and get loose out of boredom. The cage must be a wire cage though. The hamsters chew everything in site because their teeth always grow. It is a natural thing for them. If you purchase glass or plastic it will hold the smell inside and not be pleasant for you to clean or the animal to live in. Line the bottom of whatever you purchase with newspaper before you put in cedar chips so cleaning is easy. Every couple days, you just roll the newspaper up and cleaning is simple with a couple sprays of disinfectant and a cloth.

an old aquarium is great. they make special lids for them. very little mess gets out. ours could climb up on the wheel and get to the top sometimes, but otherwise it was great. you can also buy plastic tubes and make a habitat that's as complicated or as simple as you want.
