Answer 2

There are so much things to do with your hamster!  If you have time, read the list below:

                          SIMPLE THINGS

-Take a cotton swab or cu-tip and on 1 end, dip the thing in your hamster's favorite juice.  Dangle it from the top of the cage and let her l**k the juice!

-If your cage has bars, take your hamster's favorite treat, (a seed, for example) and make the seed stick out into the cage a little and drag it up, up.  Watch you hamster climb to victory and take her treat!

-Put your hamster in the ball (a wheel would also work) and dangle treats in front of her.  Then let her chase you around!

-Play Hide and seek!  Take your hamster out in a room (a big room with not much furniture would be perfect, so your hamster won't get lost and you can hide somewhere.)  Then, choose where you want to hide and then make a trail of hamster food leading to the hiding place.  Go hide there and see if your hamster will catch you!

-Take a cardboard box and fill it with your hamsters treats.  Seal it tightly with tape (not glue.)  Now let your hamster chew to the finish!

                          

                                   COMPLICATED GAMES

-Make a friendship bracelet and let them chew on it.  Your hamster is having fun and your bracelet is officially signed by your best friend!

-Make and obstacle course!  For example, put in tubes for it to crawl in.  Cardboard to chew through.  And make your hamster climb up and slide down! Be creative!

-Make FunWorld! (I know that sounds kind of cheesy, but call it anything you like).  Make slides and a snack bar.  Be creative! Put in fun things, like something you would see at a fair.  If you could create a ride for you hamster, that would be cool . . .

Hope that helped and have fun!

How to Play With a Hamster

Hamsters thrive on human attention, and playing with your pet is one of the best ways to keep him happy, healthy, and feeling loved.

Steps

   1. Let him climb on you. Have him climb on your hands by putting them one in front of the other. This is a good form of physical exercise especially when you have very limited room space.

   2. Set up the cage. There are many different types of cages on the market. Some come pre-built with tunnels, running wheels, and little cubby holes or homes. You can also purchase a hamster ball, so he can roll around the floor.

   3. Give him a lot of love by cuddling it lovingly. Do this everyday so that it will get used to human contact and won't bite!

   4. Make your hamster a maze, and guide him with your hand or finger. Have a piece of cheese or fruit at the end, to indicate that he has done a good job.

   5. Be ready for bites! It can come unexpectedly. When your hamster bites you, do not throw it, even if you are very startled.

          * If a hamster bites you and you bleed tell a parent or someone ask a parent to give you a band aid, clean the bite,and you're good to go.

Tips

    * Some animals don't like being constantly handled. If your hamster looks like he's had enough; for instance it tries to bite, or wants to sleep, end it for the day.

    * The more you hold and cuddle your hamster, the more tame it will be.

    * If your hamster bites you don't reprimand him, because they are only little animals.

    * A good way to play with your hamster with no risk of him escaping is in your bathtub without water. He will not be able to escape and you can safely sit in the bathtub and handle him there. But make sure the tub is clean and put heavy strong tape or even a hard cover book over the drain, just in case.

    * Join a Hamster Club

    * They nap- a lot! They sleep until six or seven in the evening, so be prepared that if you're noisy when he's sleeping that he can become grumpy or even bite; even the gentlest of people don't like being woke up in the middle of a good nap!

Warnings

    * Always wash your hands before and after handling your hamster.

    * Never leave your hamster outside of its cage unattended, otherwise you will soon be reading how to catch a run away hamster.

    * Be gentle! Don't squeeze or drop your hamster.

    * Keep your pet well away from areas where there are other rodents, other larger, predatory pets, or other hazards

    * Never leave your hamster in a hamster ball for longer than 20 mins at time without food or water.

    * Be careful when they're in their ball, because they could hit something hard and smack their face, which could cause death.
