The basics of how to take care of hamsters\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s a common mistake that hamsters are lazy little furballs that curl up and snooze in their cages. This can\u2019t be further from the truth — hamsters actually have plenty of energy they need to burn off and not allowing them enough space can lead to increased cases of bar biting and low energy levels for your pet hamster. Therefore, your hamster <\/span>cage<\/span><\/a> should occupy at least 2800 square centimetres of floor space (size of a huge storage box) so your pet hamster won\u2019t feel all cooped up! Looking for other non-traditional hamster home options? From <\/span>storage boxes<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Toyogo Official Store<\/span><\/a>) to <\/span>rabbit cages<\/span><\/a> (available on <\/span>Petronize Official Store<\/span><\/a>) with narrow bar spacing, find the best living quarters to meet your hamster care needs!<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Furnishing the home<\/span><\/h3>\n
