Hamster Pastebin

I'll update this with more stuff and specific products we have for Lulu.

Needs:
1) Cage. Get an aquarium or storage bin to avoid having a barred cage. Metal bar cages allow hamsters to chew on the bars. We have a second container linked by a tube filled with bedding for tunneling and S N U G sleeps.
2) Food. Check the "nutrition facts" on the back of food for protein et al percentages. Don't buy crap food.
3) Chew toys. Chew blocks and toys so they can chew to wear down their teeth. Their teeth grow throughout their lives.
4) Wheel. So they can run and get exercise. Recommended to get a wheel with a diameter roughly twice as long as the hamster. This way they don't have a really arched back when running.
5) Water. Don't need anything fancy. Just get a basic water bottle with ball-point end.
6) Bedding. We use large wood shavings with a bit of the cotton-y stuff to make a bed with.

Extras:
1) Play pen. We bought a large corrugated plastic sheet and cut it down to make walls and taped them together. Make it large enough so you can the hamster have enough room to move around in.
