Answer 1

  idk

Answer 2

If your in America sorry i can't help but this is for the UK..

Hamster: £8 from Acorn pets, £6 from pets@home

Cage: Can range from £15 - £50

Food: £2 for a 1kg bag (Lasts for £4 months!)

Chews: Around £2

Toys: Depends, from £2 - £20

Ball: Basic ball around £4

A Hamster costs about £15 a year. But to start of about £20-£50

This is the exact stuff and costs and have and spend on my Long Haired Female Syrian...

Cage: http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.100-2932.asp...  ÃƒÂ‚£30

The cage is worth it's money, it lasts and my hamster has loads of room. The tubes are great too as she is quite a podgy hamster and she can get up the tubes no problem! But i would replace the wheel as it's to small! If you want tesco do a starter set which is £14.99 but they cage is very small and basic.

Food: http://www.ukpetsupplies.com/Details.asp...

I don't get it online. I get it from Acorn pets, the food is a really good mix of peanuts, seeds and other stuff. It doesn't have too many brown food pellets through it which is great as my hamster doesn't like them. If your on a budget Tesco value hamster food is great aswell but has more pellets.

Chews: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?V...

It's not those but it's like that, they are £2.99 from Acorn pets and are flavoured wooden chews in the shapes of plums, bannanas, strawberies and so on. You get 6 in th packet and my hamster loves to chew them!

Toys: http://www.amazinganimal.co.uk/hamster-t...

My hamster has one of these from pets@home and she loves running up and down it. The only thing is that if she was any fatter she wouldn't fit in it. If your on a budget then toilet rolls are great! =]

Ball: Couldn't find it!

I got her ball from instore and it's pink and glows in the dark! It was £2.99 and worth the money as she goes crazy running about in it lol!

I also buy my hamster treats from Acorn pets and sunflower seeds as well! A large bag of sunflower seeds is £2 and does her for the year! Her fruity treats are £1.99 and are all different flavours!

***Hope that could help and good luck with your hamser!***

Oh and please, don't buy these cages your hamsters feet get stuck in the wire and can it's tramatic for them.  http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/pa...

Answer 4

Well it depends you want to get the good supplies to keep them healthey and the right things

tip DONT get seed food my hamster got a very bad inffection and died from that kind of food

the total should only be about 50.00 to 100.00 but keep in mind you want him or her to be healthey

Answer 5

a total around $300 with food, toys, bedding, cage, and all that stuff.

Answer 6

Cage - You can get a ten gallon aquarium for about $10. My personal favorite cage is the Crittertrail "Home Outlook" cage - http://www.amazon.com/CritterTrail-Home-... -  (Sells for under $30 at Petsmart, and includes a wheel, food container, water bottle, and sleeping place). Most crittertrails are difficult to clean, but this one is definitely not. If you go with an aquarium, you'll have to get a food dish, running wheel, and water bottle ($12 or so total).

Food - I like the Kaytee Fiesta mix, but any of the staple foods at Petsmart would work. Assume about $5 to $10.

Bedding - I like the carefresh bedding...a little goes a long way. - http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.js... - $10

Toys - At the very least your hamster will need something to chew on. But you can use things like toilet paper rolls. $0.

Hamster costs vary, but often you can get them for free online or through adoption services. At pet stores they are typically around $20.

Total Cost: $65 to $70.

That is if you buy new. If you check craigslist, you may be able to get stuff cheaper or even for free.

Answer 7

Cage- probably $15-$30 (I don't recommend the critter trails, they are very difficult to clean!)

Food- About 5-$10 a bag

Water bottle- Shouldn't be more than 10 bucks

Hamster- most places only sell them for about 10-15 dollars.

c**p, I forgot- Bedding also costs about 15 bucks for a big bag.
