Eustachius answered Thursday June 22 2006, 2:51 am: A teddy bear hampster is pretty much like any other. But some things to watch out for would be how clean the fur is, in other words: does the hair look ratty or smooth? Make sure it has a wheel, fresh water, something to chew on like a seed stick or a wood block (as the people at the pet store about what would work), and fresh food. Let it sleep when it wants too and don't always be pulling it out of it's bed. =P But hold it enough to where it's used to your scent and used to being held so it won't bite. Might want to use a glass cage and plenty of shavings as well.
I've had 3 teddy bear hampsters, and they make awesome pets. Just be gentle with it, and your pet should be perfectly happy.
