A hamster is a solitary pet and they should live on their own, in their own in their cage. Their hamster cage needs to be the biggest hamster cage you have room for. The normal sized hamster is 1 square foot in size, but as previously said buying a larger hamster cage is more preferable.
Not only will your pet hamster love you more for getting it a bigger hamster cage, it will be far happier with the additional space too. It is advisable to only keep only one hamster per cage as they are territorial animals and will fight each other. This could lead to them often seriously hurting each other, except for dwarf hamsters who are more sociable, but it is still a good idea to only keep one per hamster cage.
Hamsters are inquisitive pets and will love exploring their hamster cage, but you should never forget a hamster is a very good escape artist. So you need to keep this in mind when selecting its cage, if you decide on one of the wire cages then make for sure the opening between the bars is small. This applies even more so if you decide to keep a dwarf hamster!
Hamsters are able to open the doors on some hamster cages, so if in doubt add a additional fastener to the door this will keep your hamster secure.
Your hamster should have playthings to keep it entertained and a exercising wheel is recommended as well. Hamsters are a nocturnal animal and will be doing a good deal of their playing, exercise and eating at night. Because of this you want to make for certain the toys and especially the exercise wheel, are quiet when when used. This applies even more so if the cage is to be kept in a bedroom.
When living in a building where having pets is restricted taking a hamster as a pet might be just the way round this. It is great for your kids to keep a pet like hamster as they will soon learn how to take care of a pet hamster while playing with it.
