I getting a hamster in about 3 weeks and I know Main things of how to take care of a hamster. But it's been like 4 years snice i've had one. So I want to make sure I haven't forgot anything. Im gonna go to SmartPetz.com and write down everything I need. Plus im thinking about taking my T/V out of my room so it won't disturbing my hamster and I won't turn the t/v on when im pose to be studying or sleeping. I know: 1.Don't give them limes,lemons,oranges,ect b/c their too acidic. 2.Loud music or T/V isn't good for them . 3. Don't feed them things that are too sweet b/c it will kill them. 4.They mainly eat seeds,veggies,wheats,some furits, and nuts. 5.You make sure you have a good piece of wood for them to naw or there teeth will grow too long. 6.And I don't feel like writing anything else. But here are my other Questions: 1.How often Should I clean the Cage 2.What kind of wood would be good for them to naw on(I need some wood with NO chemicals OR has been Treated) 3.What kind of Fruit can I give them? 4.Can I give them small pieces of meat?(like Just PLAIN out Chicken,Ham, or Turkey) 5.Is it ok for me to give them Veggies,nuts,seeds, and fruits from the Store.(I want to give it Fresh foods,it will help me eat more healthy and I don't mine waking up to cut up some food in the morning or when ever, but I would have to buy Some bag food for when im not there because I have school also.) 6.Can I take it outside so it can play in the yard?(I don't want it to be stuck in the cage all the time) And thats all of my questions,im sorry if it's kinda long.
