Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
First things frist: make sure you have plenty of hamster food, make sure it has plenty of fresh water to drink. Clean its cage every few weeks by replacing the bedding and washing the cage where it uses the bathroom, if possible, or just sprinkly some baking soda over the spot(s). For the bedding, ask the person at the pet store what kind of bedding is best for hamsters.
Play with your hamster in the evening so it will get used to you. Don't play with it for a very logn time, 15 minutes per night at most, especially when they are still little. buy some hamster treats, and be sure to read and see how many per day you should give them. They love to chew on toliet paper rolls, so put one in.

When you buy a hamster from a store it is usually are a month old.Hamsters are not very hard to take care of you have to make sure you pick it up and pet it. So it gets use to you.If its a little mean try feeding it through the cage like treats.But NEVER wake up a hamster and pick it up right after.It will bit.But hamsters love eating fresh fruits and vegetables.You can buy any kind of hamster food they will eat it.You also must give them alot of food(like a bowl full).So you dont have to keep feeding it just keep checking every two days to see if they have any food.They also like to hide food so look around there cage.This info. should be accurate because i have 8 of my own teddy bear hamsters.Anyway if you want more info my email is mountaindew1007@yahoo.com

Good luck, and I hope I helped!

I have had three of these adorable hamsters, but they do need a lot of attention.
The store you got the hamster from should be able to tell you how old it is.
If you don't know what sex it is, look under it's tail, if it looks like : it's a boy, if it looks ; it's a girl, also with the female the vents are closer together, sometimes appearing as just the one opening.
It needs to be handled every day to stop it from becoming aggressive, but the best time is in the evenings as they are nocturnal and better tempered at this time.
Hamsters usually do not need to be groomed as they will do this themselves, however the teddy bear will need help. You should be able to buy a special hamster grooming comb, or you could use a toothbrush to remove any dirt, wood shavings or food etc. If you ever need to cut anything out of the fur, it would be best if you got one your parents to help, as holding a wriggling hamster and trying to use a pair of scissors could be a problem.
I've listed some web sites that should help with diet etc.

This is the Acrobat version of some excellent advice, if you do not have access to Acrobat the next one is for HTML users on the same info.

All of these give excellent advice on the care and management of teddy bear hamsters, including diet, exercise, grooming and health care.
If you need anymore info and can't find it, or any concerns about your new pet, let me know and I'll see if I can help.
Best of luck.

I went to your site and saw your adorable baby. How precious it is. What a great site you have created. I personally don't know anything about hamsters. I've never had one though I've had just about every other kind of animal. I'm feeding squirrels right now and they are simply not afraid of me anymore. I will go out on my balcony and they will just look at me and continue eating. I think they are so adorable and I think they know that. I found some websites for you that may be helpful to you w/your new addition to your life and I wish you the best of luck with your new friend. They have the info on them that I think you said you were looking for. Thank you for having the confidence in me to help you and good luck with your new baby.
