Sickness- like humans hamsters can catch colds due to the owner or someone else in the house having a cold or being next to a cold draft.
Food- you can make your own food out of differnt seed types or buy regular hamster food. I recommend just buying hamster food.
Grooming- to groom your hamsters take an old toothbrush (that no one is using) and gentely stroke your hamsters fur with it. Your hamster will do most of the grooming by itself.
Lost Hamster- have a ramp leading up the a bucket with food on the bottom, put it in the room you think your hamster is in, when the hamster gets hungery it should climb the ramp and fall into the bucket to eat. Try putting food in different rooms and seal off the room, a day or so later check the rooms and where the hamster food has been eaten you will know where the hamster is.
Entertainment- you can make your hamster a ramp and ladder out of wood. Give it some tubes from your toliet roll or paper towel roll. Make it an enourmous cage out of winding plastic tubes. Hamsters also like ropes that they can hang from or if you have a wire cage hamsters will like to hang from the bars.
Caring for Hamsters- clean your hamsters cage ever week and give it new food and water each day.
Cage Types- There are a few types of cages. 1.) aquarium it should have a screen top that locks in place
2.) wooden cage make sure you have some screen or wire mesh on a side for air
3.) wire cage make sure the bars aren't to far apart that your hamster can squeeze through them
