Ashley's Hamster Tutorial

[hockeyheretic35]

As promised, here is my hamster tutorial...it is very long and very thorough, so I divided it into sections and have put it under several different cuts, for your convenience.

Thank you soooo much! I bookmarked this entry so that i can follow it when I build the hamster mansion next weekend.

I might have you on "IM call" too, lol.

This cold is really kicking my ass.

You and me both, sister! Except replace cold with ear infection.

I printed this out! Thank you so much, I really liked the "cage construction" part because I'd want to construct one of my own as opposed to buying one.

Thank you again!

No problem! The giant bin cages do take up more space than a traditional cage, but having all the room for your hamster to have toys and play space is worth it!

If my cat and dog have a room all to themselves, then the hamster deserves a spacious play and living area!

Good point! By the way, I just posted an addendum to the tutorial in a new post about hamster health.

Most excellent tutorial! I loved it, and will print it out. Thank you so much for doing this..I'm so clueless about hams, but I'm learning more..

Feel better soon!

You've very nearly talked me into getting a hamster. :)

[hockeyheretic35]

Do you have any pets now?

[boobalah]

I want one now, but we'll see. Can you talk about hamster medical care perhaps?

[hockeyheretic35]

I'll make a new post with that info!
