I'm looked for a breeder here and I can't find one. There aren't even any hamsters at the animal shelter. I know buying from pet stores isn't the best, but I'll probably have to do that.
I made my hamster a plastic bin cage. I thought the previous cage was too small. I cut a hole in the lid and put wire mesh over it and secured it with screws. I'm giving my hamster the best rated wheel, a Wodent Wheel. It's 8 inches in diameter. The store bought ones are closer to 6 inches, which I think is a little small and not as comfortable for Syrian hamsters. I couldn't find the Wodent Wheel in stores so I had to order it online and shipping costs an arm and a leg at $12, but it's worth it. The wheel itself is $10.
I bought the largest bag of CareFresh Ultra bedding for my hamster. I went with Ultra because it is white and much softer and has less dust than regular CareFresh. I'm going to give my hamster the best of everything.
I bought a highly rated food for my hamster and I'm might buy bottled water for my hamster, depending on if bottled water is healthier or not.
I'm going to find a vet that specializes in hamsters. Hopefully I'll find one.
