Hi, my kids would like a hamster - they are 6,5&5, so I’m fully expecting to look after said hamster which wouldn’t be a problem, except I don’t know how.
Had hamsters and other pets as a kid, but my Mum did it all and I don’t remember what to do. I know to clean cage weekly, feed and water daily, hamster ball for excercise, nocturnal (not a problem), cuddles etc, not overwhelming hamster with noise etc.
what else though? Do they need vaccines? Pet insurance etc?
I’ve only ever owned a dog and cat as an adult so no idea where to start with a hamster
