Frequently Asked Questions...
what type of wood is safe to put in my hamsters cage?
my hamster lilly is beginning to use her hay in order to make a nest. i read that they like to put the hay on some sort of off the ground bench or platform. instead of buying one, i would like to make one out of wood. ive heard that some wood is not good for hamsters or to put in their cage...but what type of wood is?
Answer:
Aspen and Carefresh,
Carefresh is better at absorbing.
Aspen is Better at holding tunnels.
Ive used both and Ill have to say Aspen is nicer cause they
burrow underneath and absorbs pretty well,
Over all Aspen all the way but
Its pretty hard to find since they sell fast.
Oh never use Pine or Cedar it can cause
medical problems.

Choosing The Right Hamster Cage For Your Pet Hamster
A hamster is a solitary creature and they should live on their own, in their own in their cage. Their cage needs to be the biggest hamster cage you can afford. The typical sized hamster is 1 square foot in size, but as previously said purchasing a bigger hamster cage is far more preferable.
Not only will your hamster love you more for getting it a larger hamster cage, it will be far happier with the extra space as well. It is recommended to only keep only one hamster per cage as they are very territorial and will fight each other. This can result in them often seriously hurting each other, except for dwarf hamsters who are more sociable, but it is still a good idea to only keep 1 per cage.
Hamsters are curious animals 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 choosing its hamster cage, if you decide on one of the wire ones then make sure the opening between the bars is small. This applies even more so if you are going to keep a dwarf hamster as a pet!
Hamsters are able to open the doors on some hamster cages, so if you are in doubt add a additional fastener to the door to keep your hamster from escaping.
A hamster should have toys to keep it amused and a exercise wheel is recommended too. Hamsters are a nocturnal animal and will be doing much of their playing, exercising and feeding at nighttime. Because of this you want to make for certain the toys and particularly the wheel, are quiet when when used. This applies even more so if the hamster cage is to be kept in your bedroom.
If you live in a residence where keeping animals is restricted having a hamster as a pet might be just the way around this. It is great for your children to keep a hamster as a pet as they will easily learn how to take care of their pet hamster while playing and having fun with it.
