If your hamster escapes
Hamsters can slip out of cages or tanks. Act quickly: they chew cables and packaging. Use humane traps and favourite food to recapture safely.
Sleeping habits and nest
Hamsters are often nocturnal. Provide a snug nest box with safe bedding; they may stash food. A secure metal lid prevents escapes. Use an appropriate substrate and spot-clean corners they use as toilets.
No bread, cake or pastry
Wild hamsters eat seeds and roots. Processed human foods cause obesity and disease. Stick to species-appropriate feed and small natural supplements.
