a teddy bear hamster is recommended for beginners since they are more tolerant and bite less than dwarf hamstersTeddy bear hamster?
I don't know what the prices are for the stuff separately because I got mines all together in one big box at Pj's Pet Store. A teddy bear hamster cost about $10.00.
Yes, the hamster will still smell but you could get a shampoo thing for hamsters because hamsters don't like to bathe so get a spray shampoo thing and that will make your hamster smell good
If this is your first hamster I suggest you get a regular hamster but if you can handle a squirming little hamster and comb in 3 times a week go for it! You have to comb it like 3 times a week because their fur gets really, really long so you have to comb it. You don't have to but it just gets all messy so I would comb it. But if this is gonna be like your 4th hamster then it's ok. Same with a dwarf hamster, it should be your 4th before you get it.Teddy bear hamster?
i would go with dwarf hamsters. personall expeirence. teddy bear hamsters are big. and they smell even when you clean the cage. dwarf hamster smell less for some reason, and are smaller and cuter. and they dont cost as much moneyTeddy bear hamster?
1) look at petco.com for all prices on things, it depends what size item you are buying, so something like food could range from $5-30
2) yes it does smell, but if you constantly change it every week then it won't smell nearly as bad, not enough to stink up a house, and it usually takes about 5-20 minutes to clean the cage, depending on the model of cage you have, and how througho you are, to take away smells you could use a mild soap to wash it, but this obviously will take longer to clean the cage
3) if you are getting a hamster for an 11 year old, a teddy bear isn't bad, but i think that for a first hamster that syrain is the best, they don't tend to bite as much, but teddy bear hamsters don't bite that much either, i would NOT recommend a dwarf hamster, they bite more and run A LOT faster than a full sized hamster, they seem cute, but they are harder to take care of, espcially if you have an 11 year old who may be impatient
some tips:
~NEVER buy cedar chips, this can be harmful to the hamster
~hamsters need something to nest in, so you will nee to buy bedding and fluff, DO NOT make fluff with something liek toliet paper or tissue paper, if your hamster eats this, it gets stuck in their mouths and they die!
~their teeth are constantly growing, give them something to gnaw on, wood blocks are available at pet stores
~they like to be held, but wash your hands before you hold them, because if you hands smell like food, they may think its food, so they might take a bite at you by accident
~wire cages are well ventalated, but they usually are harder to clean, they come with a water bottle, food dish, and a wheel, but the water bottle that comes with it usually leaks, and the wheel tends to be noisy, tanks are a little small, but they are easier to clean, they smell a little worse because not as much air flow is going in, so washing them becomes a regular chore along with cleaning the cae, you also have to buy your own water bottle and wheel and food dish
~they like to run about, so buy a hamster ball! the first couple of times they won't know what they are doing, so they may not be seeming to enjoy themselves, they get used to it after about 5 times, let them in the ball for about 30 minutes, then return them to cage, they will be hungry or thirsty!
~the first couple of days you have the hamster, let him/her get used to their new surroundings, i know that your daughter will want to handle the hamster, but try to get her not to for about 2-3 days, the hamster will be scared of the new enviroment, so fi you try to pick it up it will probably bite
~the first couple of times you hold it, don't hold it for more than 10 minutes, it takes some time to get used to your smell, it needs a little time to trust you
~they are nocturnal animals! be prepared to sometimes stay up at night because of the loud wheel or chewing on the wired cage (if you choose to get that particular cage, which i recommend by the way) its best to put them in a closet with the door not shut all the way or outside of a room at night
(if i think of any more tips ill add on)
overall they are great pets, espcially for kids who are learning responsiblity!Teddy bear hamster?
1.Well , actually the prices range ...
2 . I change my hamsters cage about 2-3weeks ... %26amp;%26amp; She smells alot better .. But,changing it a week is to much and that is more money you have to spend on ur hamster/s for no reason .
3.Yes,I had a teddybear hamster when I was eleven and I took good care of it .. I don't know how your daughter/sis/whoever she is acts .. but if she is responsible then I'd say GO FOR IT their great pets =)Teddy bear hamster?
smaller hamster r betterTeddy bear hamster?
1. All of the all about 29.99 for a cage, water bottle, wheel, and food bowl together. Big food bag 12.05 + tax don't buy the one with seed it make the hamster lazy and fat. Bedding (40 liter)18.87 +tax. and teddy hamster 10.00, exercise ball 7.99. Happiness( priceless).

3. yes, i use to have a teddy bear hamster, but it escape and die 脰, now i got a dwaft hamster and it so cute and noisy
4. Buy yogies for treat and a give here some thing that hamster like, like banna, carrot, but don't give her cirtus fruit.
