Buying A Hamster!

Before you decide to buy a hamster, please do some reasearch, that can be from new books or a forum, personally i like to use a forum called hamster central which is really popular! when you get to the shop where you are going to buy your hamster before you pick your hamster you need to check for symptoms of bad-caring this may be watery eyes, dirty fur or a wet tail. you have to pick a hamster in good condition. A well cared hamster will most probably have: clear eyes, shiny fur and short teeth hamsters with long teeth may bleed and will need to be taken to the vet... for beginners please buy a syrian hamster as they are the biggest, tamest and the easiest to handle. As with roborovski hamsters they are fast and inergetic and are really not ideal for taming or handling therefore dwarf hamsters should be considered when you are more experienced etc. With breeders often hamsters will be well- looked after. please do not accept advice from pet shops, as they are very often give out the wrong/old information.
