Hamsters



Hamsters are fairly simple to care for. They are one of the most common small animal pets for children, but are they truly one of the better pets for children? Well, that's for you to decide. I'm here to give you information about them in hopes to help in any way that I can.

Hamsters are fairly simple to care for, as I've already mentioned. Because they are one of the smaller furry pets, they require smaller cages. A 10 gallon cage will suffice for one Syrian hamster or 2 dwarf hamsters.

The one good thing about hamsters is that for the most part, they are pretty robust and healthy critters. They can succumb to illness, but the most common will include wet tail, abscesses, diarrhea, and respiratory illnesses.
