Caring for a hamster involves providing a suitable habitat, such as a spacious cage with proper ventilation. The cage should include bedding material, a water bottle, and a wheel for exercise. It's important to clean the cage regularly to maintain hygiene and prevent odors. Feeding your hamster a balanced diet is essential for its health. Offer a mix of commercial hamster food, fresh fruits, and vegetables in moderation. Always ensure fresh water is available. Regular handling and gentle interaction can help your hamster become more social and comfortable with you.
