There are many different supplies necessary for giving your dwarf hamster the care he or she needs, but the most important is the dwarf hamster cage. To your hamster, the cage is home. Cages provide not only a living space, but they also satisfies certain needs that dwarf hamsters have.
For example, dwarf hamsters love to dig, it is in their blood. Out in the wild, they are constantly digging around underground in the tunnels that they live in. So what does this have to do with dwarf hamster cages? Well, by providing a cage that has the proper flooring, the hamster gets the opportunity to dig to his or her delight. Cages of the plastic variety also offer the tunneling environment that they love so much.
So what are the different kinds of dwarf hamster cages available? Well the different homes you can provide your hamster with include a wire cage, a tank (aquarium), or a plastic cage. When choosing a dwarf hamster cage, it's important to get one that will be big enough for the entire life cycle of your dwarf hamsters. So how many babies you have, you should consider how much space will be needed when they grow up.
Not only do you need to anticipate and have enough space (another desires of the dwarf hamster is running around so space is definitely important) but you also need to get a cage that is fit for their small size. You need one that does not have large openings that they could easily squeeze out of and also all the supplies should be of a slightly smaller size than standard. This is what makes dwarf hamster cages unique.
One example is if you're looking into plastic dwarf hamster cages that have tunnels, you need to buy one that is fit for the size of your hamster. You need to go with a model and brand that provides smaller tunnels that are more suitable for a smaller pet.
Now what's inside of the cage is just as important as the cage itself. What's a house without any furniture? Well one thing is for sure, it's not a home. Dwarf hamster cages should be homes and in order to do this you need furniture. One of the most important pieces of furniture for a dwarf hamster is the running wheel.
Dwarf hamsters love (and I mean LOVE) to run and the running wheel for them is as important as a TV would be to you or me (do not deny it, you love to watch TV, I know I do!). Of course you can not forget the water and food supplies. If you do not want to constantly refill a water bowl, you can get one of those upside down water contraptions. Another important piece of furniture is the bed.
The bed should be private. You do not sleep in the living room do you? A dwarf hamster is not a couch-and-floor sleeping kinda guy (or gal) and enjoys privacy during sleep. They will build their own little nests (aka beds) and if you provide them with a nesting box I'm sure they will appreciate the privacy.
