Keep Your Hamster Happy

To keep your hamster happy is very easy just give them some toys and games. Clear plastic hamster balls are obtainable, into which the hamster's placed and then, by its own action, explores an entire house or yard. Hamsters enjoy wooden pipes that somewhat mimic the burrows that they might have in the wild and allow their owners to enjoy their activities. Most commercial exercise wheels marketed for hamsters have rungs which are not appropriate for hamsters due to the fact that a hamster could get injured in one. Many authorities recommend solid plastic wheels as these eliminate the risk of injury.


Here some other tips to keep your hamster happy :

  1. Hamsters love to get treats of certain types of fresh fruits and vegetables, like cucumber, strawberries, and blueberries. After giving them a while to enjoy it, be sure to check their food supply and take away any scraps so they don't go bad and get them sick.
  2. Try blowing into his face if he's naughty.
  3. Clean your hamster's cage at least once a week. This will eliminate odor and over-ripe food.
  4. Get a travel cage to use while you're cleaning the cage.

Warning: Hamsters get sick extermely easily and it's hard to cure. What you need to do just keep their area as clean as possible so they can always happy!
