would you ever consider getting any of this and if so what

Answer 1

The walmart one is cuter... kinda expensive though :(

Answer 2

The cage looks very cute - just fit for a princess type - but I am not really sure about the dimensions. The photo does not give an idea of the actual size. Looking at the photo, it looks too small with not much space for the hamster. If it is a small cage, then I think you should go in for a bigger cage since hamsters also need space apart from tubes, tunnels and exercise wheels.

Some examples of good cages would be Crittertrail 1 and 2 and Habitrail Playground. You can google the names to take a look at their images.

NEVER NEVER put any leashes on your hamsters. Hamsters' body structure is different from rabbits or mice. If you notice, their bodies are much more softer and cuddly and that is what helps them to squeeze through small gaps. If you tie the vest around the hammy, you will obviously have to tie it tightly to prevent the hammy from escaping and the hammy can suffocate to death. So please never use a vest for hamsters. Another thing - never take your hammy for a walk outside your home as tamed hamsters brought up in cages are not equipped to walk on different hard surfaces with their soft paws and your hammy will suffer from swollen paws and infection.

If you want your hammy to walk around the house, put him in a hamster ball and let him have fun exercising around the home. Again, make sure the hamster ball is not near staircases, if the ball rolls down staircases, it can injure the hammy.

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

yes it a good cage,it has lots for your hamster to do. im not keen on a collar and leash (its not a dog) but its up to you. :-)

Answer 4

Niether one. That cage is to small, and the collar and lead is for FERRETS and CHINCHILLAS! Hamsters get plenty of exercise in their cage. If you just want that cage for looks, go ahead and buy it. It won't be best for your hammy though.

Answer 5

Ok. The cage: perfect. But, if you hamster is a bigger one, it might be to small for it. The leash: You don't walk hamsters. They can get out of the harnesses.

Answer 6

Yeh the cage looks really nice, it has everything you need to keep the hamster happy, it looks like it would have everything to keep it busy, and the two levels seems really good, it gives the hamster a lot of space, and a place just to relax.

Also, the leash and collar seems good, but i dont really think you can walk a hamster, or even keep it still long enough to put a collar on it. But if you really wanted to try it, then I would get it and find out!

Hope I helped :)

Good luck with your new hamster, they are amazing pets!

Answer 7

You don't walk hamsters.

Answer 8
