As a child, most of us grew up with pet hamsters or friends who had hamsters. Even our children are fascinated with the small fuzzy creatures. There are many types of hamsters, dwarf, Syrian, Russian, Chinese, and hybrid.

Let’s dive right in.

Pet Hamsters are Fun For Kids

The hamster is a burrower so they prefer to have lots of bedding to hide under as well as tubes to create little nests in.

The most difficult aspect of hamsters is telling if they are female or male and being wrong. Who has bought two pet hamsters thinking they were the same gender and ending up with ten hamsters? I certainly have.

Genetics

A lot of biologists and geneticists use hamsters and other rodents to show genetic possibilities. In genetics, we often discuss the genome and how genes are dispersed in relation to eye color, hair color and other traits.

When you have hamsters as pets you are seeing this first hand. I had one gold hamster and one white hamster. When they bred I ended up with several color traits from gold, white, black, white and black to many more.

Half the fun for kids is seeing the baby pet hamsters grow up with different colors. It can be a great science project for school as well as having a wonderful pet.

Relatively Easy

Pet hamsters are relatively easy to take care of. You can feed them hamster food, vegetables, and little hamster treats to give them a good life.

The bedding should be changed weekly or twice a week depending upon how many hamsters you have.

The downside to pet hamsters is their short lives. Most live only a year or two making it difficult on the younger children.

Accessories for Pet Hamsters

There are lots of pet hamster accessories from tubes to wheels. Pet hamsters like other pets need to have exercise so giving them wheels to run on or having a hamster ball to run around the house in is good for them.

The tubing and cages come in a variety of colors to add to a child’s fun.

You can create straight pathways to other larger home areas or curve them around to reenter the same cage. Most of the caging is plastic and your pet hamster will try to chew or claw their way free.

Pet Hamsters Need to be Monitored

You will want to monitor their activity when you clean the cage to make sure they are not producing a hole. Some hamsterowners go with a metal wire cage with tiny slits to avoid the chewing escape.

Your preference will determine the type of accessories you purchase.

Handling pet hamsters should be kept to a minimum and you should always wash your hands before and after.

Biting

Hamsters can have a tendency to bite if they are not handled at least once a day or if they become scared. Be cautious with little children.

Pet Hamsters are a lot of fun for all ages whether you have a budding scientist or just want an easy pet your child can care for.

You will want to make sure you feed your hamster properly by not over feeding them while maintaining proper exercise.

Separation

When your pet hamsters procreate, you will want to separate out the mother and children from the rest of the crew.

A cautionary note before concluding this article: Dwarf hamsters are very susceptible to infections with cedar chips because it can tear holes in their tiny mouths.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
