Hamsters are lots extra fee-effective. For a initiate, they're smaller, so which you will get away with a smaller cage. additionally, Rats tend to be ultimate in pairs, while Hamsters (Syrians a minimum of) would desire to be on their very own (and Dwarfs, you will get a pair into an identical length cage as one Syrian). For expenditures, the Hamster itself is going to set you lower back someplace around £6 (it is in accordance with what I remember final time i grew to become into surfing in "Pets at domicile"). Rats are not lots extra. you are able to usually purchase "kits" which incorporate all of the failings you go with, and now and lower back the animal too, that are extra fee-effective for first time keepers than procuring each thing for my section, and it makes specific you have have been given each thing.

First, only get one, or you'll have a lot more than you wanted in a short amount of time. Keep their cages very clean, clean it a couple times a week, plenty of clean water and food. Give them stimulation, a wheel, things to chew on, their teeth grow long and they need a way to work them down. Most importantly handle the hamster often this will get them used to being handle and your chances of being bitten are a lot less, the the chance still remains, it is a rodent.

i have hamsters and they have babies about every 2 months...i had 2 and ended with ten hamsters so if you don't want just get one or two of the same gender or else you would would have to have a bigger cage.
Although hamsters enjoy the company of humans, they are less friendly to their own kind. They are solitary creatures who must be kept in separate quarters; in their native habitats, they come together only to mate and will most likely fight if they are forced to share space. Even hamsters housed in quiet rooms still need hiding places within their tanks to feel secure in their surroundings. Empty tissue boxes and round oatmeal containers can perform double duty as both gnawing toys and hiding places. Notorious nibblers, hamsters may harm their internal systems if they ingest soft plastics, but some hamster owners provide PVC piping or hard plastic items that withstand chewing......hamster love to exercise so get a cage with one of those exercise balls on top so it could run anytime it wants to.....Hamsters have high metabolisms and should have constant access to food and water. To avoid spills and maintain a clean drinking supply, attach a water bottle with a metal sipping tube to the side of the aquarium. Some hamsters like to sit in their food dishes, so use a heavy ceramic dish to decrease the likelihood of food spillage. Respect the hamster's need for order by placing the dish a good distance from the bathroom and sleeping areas.
Hamsters enjoy a varied diet that includes commercial grain and seed mixtures tailored for the animal as well as certain kinds of fruits and vegetables. A good commercial hamster mix should have all the necessary nutrients. Round out the diet with dandelion greens, chickweed, alfalfa pellets, spinach, lettuce, carrots, apples, and other fruits. A daily menu plan should include rations of a half-ounce of grain mixture, a small handful of greens, and tasty treats such as a slice of apple and a floret of cauliflower. STAY AWAY FROM RAW BEANS,APPLE SEEDS,SPROUTING POTATO BUDS,PARSELY, AND GREENS PARTS OF TOMATOES, ALL FOODS THAT CAN BE POSINOUSE TO HAMSTERS.
Hamsters can be cranky if disturbed during their daytime sleeping hours, so try cleaning, feeding, and handling in the late afternoon or evening. Be sure to clean out the hamster's bathroom space every day. Hamsters like to amass treasure chests of tidbits, so check for stockpiles of perishable food. Also clean the water bottle and sipper tube daily to prevent buildup of food, algae, and bacteria; check to be sure it is working properly as well.
Change all the bedding twice a week, disinfecting the tank and letting it dry before laying down fresh bedding and replacing the hamster's chewing, nesting, and climbing toys. If you must remove a hamster to clean her tank, you can hold a small box near her and she will probably run right in. When handling a hamster, always hold her over a surface such as a tabletop in case she manages to wriggle out of your hands.

clean its cage every week, or if the odor gets real bad
after ur done cleaning hte cage put bedding in the cage so they can be warm and comfy
play with them every now and then so they get used to u

Go to the library and get a book. Never get an animal without reading up about them.
