Which Cage Is Right For Your Dwarf Hamster?

There are many people who love to keep dwarf hamsters as their pet. These are social animals and therefore are able to adapt to any environment very easily. An important aspect to consider is their care. When these pets are new to your home, it is necessary to make them feel homely and ensure that the environment is just perfect. Dwarf hamster cages come in a variety of sizes and shapes. Below are some tips to help you choose the right type for your furry friend.

Large Dwarf Hamster Cages

By nature, dwarf hamsters will travel upto 5 miles in the wild during nighttime. Make sure the cage is large enough so the hamster is able to exercise in it. If you are opting for a wire cage, look for a cage that has less space between bars so its easy for the hamster to climb onto them but is not able to escape through.

Dwarf Hamster Cage With Tubes

Cages with tubes will give your hamster more places to explore and keep him active. They love crawling and climbing through the tubes and children will love to watch them as they go in and out. Look for tubes that are washable and adjustable so you can change the path in the cage. If you are introducing these types of cages for the first time, you may want to leave out the tubes in the beginning until the hamster has established its sleeping area. Otherwise he may end up liking the tube as its resting place.

Hamster Cages For Two

Being social creatures, dwarf hamsters are happier when they live in pairs. Get same sex dwarves to avoid any additions to your family, and pair them when they are young about two months or less. Getting the pair from the same breeder and same cage, if possible, will make the pairing easy. You will still need a cage that is large enough for 2 and have spinning wheels, food bowls, and other accessories for each one.

Hammies Love Their Privacy

Dwarf hamsters are considered to be the ideal pet for homes but love to be alone. It is important for the pet owners to make them feel comfortable and provide privacy as well. Noise can be very stressful to these tiny animals. Keep their cage away from noisy environment such as TV and loud music. And make sure to place the cage away from direct sunlight and draughts for comfort through out the year.

Remember that these creatures are nocturnal and will be active at night. You may not want to keep the cage in your child’s room as the squeaking and scratching from the wheel will disrupt their sleep.
