  • When you arrive at the pet shop go to the hamster part and look at all the different types. Pick at least three different hamsters (they don’t have to be the same type) that you would like in your home; this can take time, don’t be hurry.
  • Once you have picked three different hamsters you like, ask for assistance. When the worker comes ask him to open the cages the hamsters are in. If the hamster you like stands up on its hind feet, chances are it isn’t tame to start off with (that position means it could be getting ready to attack if you like)
  • Ask the worker to pick up the hamsters you like (one at a time) and then you stroke it. If the hamster feels uncomfortable, it will wriggle round and try to escape and make weird noises, however if it is okay with you stroking it should keep still.
  • Once you are happy with the decision of your hamster ask the man/woman to carefully put it in a box for you to take it home in. If it starts to scratch the box that is completely normal, it just thinks it is trapped.
  • Now you have your hamster try to get it in the cage as quickly as possible. DO NOT pick it up for 24-48 hours so that it has time to get used to the cage. However you can open the cage door and feed it a couple of little treats from your hand which will gain its respect and familiarity.
  • After a couple of days, try handling it and playing with it, maybe put it in its ball, this will give it time to get used to his/hers surroundings.
  • If you play with it a couple of times a day it will be a very tame hamster and love being played with.

    • How To Choose Good And Healthy Hamsters

    Tip For Buying Hamsters

    • Have a experienced hamster owner go with you if possible, if not, it will still be OK
    • Before picking up your hamster, make sure it has gone to the toilet
    • Before picking up your hamster, also scrunch your hand into a fist and let it sniff you, the gently pick it up

    Warnings

    • Ignored hamsters do get really annoyed. If you don’t have half an hour to spare everyday, do not take the risk of getting a hamster.
    • If you get a dwarf hamster, don’t get just any cage. Choose a cage designed for dwarf hamsters. All hamsters should have a cage designed for them.
    • Dwarf hamsters sometimes like to bite, so start with a Syrian, unless you want a challenge. If you don’t mind getting bitten, get a dwarf hamster. Some hamsters may start off biting, but will stop once they get used to you handling them.
    • If there is a sudden change in behavour of your hamster, try taking it to a vet as it may be sick.
    • Watch how your hamsters likes the cage, be sure to realize his feelings matter if you want him to be your friend.
    • Play with it often, to ensure it that you love it.
