I've had 2 teddy bear hamsters - they are AWESOME little pets. The first one I had, Sunny, lived for 5 years. my other one, Lewis, lived for 2 - he just died about a month ago. Neither one of them ever bit me (I've had other kinds of hamsters, who DID bite me), and they weren't overly hyper. They were pretty easy to take care of. I just got the regular hamster bedding from petco, changed the cage once a week, and every 2 days I'd let them out in their running balls for about half an hour.
They sell hamster/rodent grain at petco/petsmart.
They're easy to take care of, they're fun, and they're really cute! |
