heyy, a hamster isnt very hard to take care of. you just fill the cage with wedding, and fill up a waterbottle for them, which should come with the cage, or you could buy them separately at any pet store. you can buy a hamster food which sorta looks like trail mix. make sure you don't neglect them, because then they can get not-so-friendly. but generally they dont bite.. they could playfully nibble but thats about it. i would recommend buying a hamster ball in addition to the wheel so it doesn't get repetitive for them, plus they like to explore the house. just make sure to keep an eye on the ball. clean the gave every once in a while, by dumping the whole thing out and them putting new bedding and fresh food. if u have any questions feel free to ask

Here is a how-to sight for you:

A hamster who is handled by their owner will be friendly and loving. If they need shots, that's news to me.
You can get nice cages at Petco, Petsmart, anyplace like that. They love wheels and such, so get one with one attached, or room to put one in. They like to pile bedding in them at times, so you'll have to check for that and keep it cleared so they can get exercise.
If you get a cage that doesn't fit a wheel, don't fret, because you can buy hamster balls. These are small plastic balls that you can enclose them in and allow them to run around on the floor.
They like tunnels to run through and hide in, and love their exercise.
