It's easy to keep a hamster happy by caring for its basic needs on a regular basis. Hamsters become very bored when you don't play with them. Here are a few steps to help you take your hamster to a cage of joy!
- Play with your hamster once a day,you can let it climb on you, help it push the wheel(work those muscles Fluffy!) or pretend to take it to a fancy dinner by putting a little piece of wood covered with a tissue in the cage and putting the food on it!
- Change its water and food every day,hamsters are not "leftover" animals!
- Use a hamster comb to help keep its fur clean,because although hamsters groom themselves,they still need a little help!
- Avoid prodding the hamster to wake up,you don't like being awoken in a rude fashion and your hamster doesn't either!(do unto hamsters as thou would do to thyself!)
- Talk to it even if it doesn't appear to understand you; it is reassuring to your hamster and may help YOU with public speaking or self confidence problems!
- Keep its cage nice and clean,but make sure they have something to do while you are at school or work - maybe give them a little house,help them out with a little tunnel system and maybe put their food under something they can jump off - rodents sometimes like to sit or jump into their food.
- Let it get lots of exercise; let it run around or use a hamster ball. Remember to put a wheel in the cage.
