Introductions to Your Hamster

Bringing home your baby ham is a big day for you but a bit of a scary one for your hamster. I recommend giving them a week or so to settle in and get used to their new space before intruding too much. Keep handling to a minimum, but DO handle them when you get them, keep sessions short and sweet with rewards like sunflower seeds, apples, carrots, strawberries, mealworms, lettuce, green beans, oats... Lots of fun things to feed your ham! This will make interaction with you more pleasant. 

Enclosure size

Don't over complicate it! Bigger is not always better as it can cause the hamster to hide more.

Some recommendations for enclosures are Bucatstate, Niteangel, Prolee, aquariums and you can even DIY your own storage bin enclosure.

Example set up below (It's great and very large, but can use some deeper bedding) features a Large Niteangel Hamster wheel.
