Answer 1

they eat hamster food and dont put perfume on them they will dy!

NOW A WARNING:

UNDER ANY SURCUMSTANCES NEVER GET THE HAMSTER WET! EVER, NOT EVEN A DROP, AND NEVER I MEAN NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER FEED IT AFTER MIDNIGHT!!!

Answer 2

1.  They love sunflower seeds, corn, fresh fruit (make sure it's not citrus), and the food that you can buy at Petsmart or even Walmart.

2.  Hamsters don't like water because they live in the desert.  Water can give hamsters a cold and they can get wet tail (a decease that basically kills them)  If your hamster stinks or something then buy chinchilla sand (not dust) and she/he will roll around in it=)

3.  LOL!  Theirs no special perfume.  Like I said they will use the chinchilla sand and they will clean themselves (their very clean animals)

4.  You should buy:

-Exercise wheel

-Food bowl or feeder

-Water bottle

-Care fresh, aspen, or soft-sorbent bedding

-A little house to sleep in and/or play in

-A chewable wooden bal

-Chew blocks or chew toys

-A big cage (preferably the biggest cage you can find at the pet store)

-A plastic ball for them to run around in for 20 minutes outside of their cage

-Chinchilla sand

-And maybe some tubes if your hamster isn't overweight

Hope his helps, and sorry for the long answer lol=)

Answer 5

Okay, first of all, hamsters clean themselves. They don't need baths of any kind, they are sort of like cats. Water is not compatible with their skin and makes them release a substance.

They eat:

    *  Apple (seedless)

    * Banana

    * Blackberries

    * Blueberries

    * Cantaloupe.

    * Cherries

    * Cranberries

    * Grapes(seedless)

    * Lychee

    * Mango

    * Melon

    * Peaches (no stone)

    * Plums (no pits)

    * Raspberries

    * Raspberry Leaves (helpful for diarrhea)

    * Strawberries

Veggies

    * Asparagus

    * Bean Sprouts

    * Bok Choy

    * Broccoli

    * Cabbage (Limited amounts)

    * Carrots

    * Cauliflower

    * Celery

    * Chard

    * Chestnuts

    * Chickweed

    * Chicory

    * Clover

    * Corn on the Cob

    * Cucumbers

    * Dandelion Leaves

    * Endive

    * Green Beans

    * Kale

    * Parsnips

    * Peas

    * Radicchio

    * Romaine Lettuce

    * Spinach

    * Squash

    * Sweet Potatoes

    * Sweet bell Peppers

    * Swiss Chard

    * Turnip

    * Water Chestnuts

    * Water Cress

    * Zucchini

Do not try to put any perfume on your hamster or its cage. There are specially sprays you can find at Petco for rodents that help make their cages smell fresh (I use Clean Cage) and also deodorizes the cage. Think about it: some people get migranes and headaches from perfume. Think of what that will do to your hamster! Not a good idea.

Hope you and your new hammie get along well :D

Answer 6

you might want to buy a book, i know it helped me

hamsters eat

seeds

dyed fruit

some fresh vegys (no lettuce it gives them diarrhea cabbage is the best)

treats made for hamsters

food mixes made for hamsters

u should buy some of those for your hamster

If u want to clean your hamster don't use water, soap for humans, or humans pure-fume you can find special wipes for hamster that work great for cleaning your hamster and making it smell good, but most of the time they clean them selves

You should buy

a cage (Critter trail by super pet worked the best for me)

tubes for it to crawl in

food

bedding (carefresh bedding also worked the best for me)

a wheel

a ball

a caring case

a food bowl

a hamster water bottle

wood block for chewing or mineral block

toys

other things it can chew (like paper towel tubes)

and anything else that the store u buy it from or you think might b good for your hamster's heath

Also u should let your hamster get used to its cage before you play with it too much. Be nice to your hamster when playing with it and play with it a lot (and at night when it is awake) and it will love u very quickly!

hope i helped

Answer 7

1. well i used to have teddy bear hampsters and for their food you can just go to walmart or meijer and go to the pet aisly and they will have bags of hampster food.

2. you could do the sponge thing to help clean your hampster. your hampster probobally wouldnt like it but it wouldn't hurt it.

3. i dont think there is any sort or purfume for hampsters but hampster bedding helps the stink quite a bit.

for your hampster you should but a little home or a plastic tube or somthing for it to sleep in and feel safe.

all of these things can be found at walmart in the pet section.

Good luck!
