This is definitely the luckiest hamster in the world. I mean, luckier than his other brothers and sisters being handed and dropped by little children, afterwards being shoved back into a tiny cramped little cage... In other words, you truly blessed this little hammy with a great life 💕

[@Ciara991x]

@Buddi chucky Yeah I completely understand where you're coming from, and I agree. I shouldn't have been so harsh. But I personally think hamster's shouldn't be owned by anyone under 10, unless the parents are teaching them how to properly handle and take care of any delicate and small animal. Also typical "hamster" cages are way too small for them.

[@CatMom5050]

@@Ciara991x My daughter is 8 and she has hamsters. I taught her how to care for them and I help her clean up the cages and with their care. She is very respectful of the hamsters. I do agree that most kids under 10 wouldn't be mature enough. Some of her classmates could not handle it

[@baronnashor158]

I dont own an hamster, but got an idea.. if the more realistic = a more happy hamster , in a cage like that , when comes the feeding times , i would kind of randomly spread the food around the cage..So he can wander around , collecting food and thus giving him a sense of accomplishment or make it feels like he is doing something actively , like he would do in nature..Searching food or finding it randomly and collecting it..Like in a natural habitat..He has that instinct in him..Its natural for him to do that , so why not use that as an activity for him? If i try to think within the frame of ''hamster'' or just rodents in general , ,' i think that searching , finding , collecting /re-hiding foods and letting him use and active his natural instinct could be a nice and easy way to make him happy.. spread the food around the cage intead of everything in a single spot..and you could even hide some in tunnels or under the soil....So everyday he wakes up and he search his food and collect his goodies around the cage..or randomly step upon foods while exploring and then forget what he was doing just to put the food in his stack..i think that it would activate his senses, abilities and instinct ... and then just by doing that , everyday is gonna be different for him , and he will always have something to do actively , other than useing the wheel or digging...I think that could help makes a hamster healthy and happy...What do you guys think?

Melanie it sounds like Beezoo has a great Mama already who loves him a lot so if you cannot make his new home this big he'll still be really happy.
