Thinking of getting a Hamster again!

[Natonstan]

Hey guys, After years of not having an hamster , I want one again, I miss the furryness of them. After keeping Reptiles, I kinda miss having a furry animal to play with, so a Syrian Hamster seems like a good way to go.
One question, Does anybody here keep hamsters in Faunariums? I dont really wanna spend lots of money on a big cage just yet so I thought this would be ok, any help is appreciated

we just got a hamster and its great fun, i don't know about faunariums but i know a few people keep them in large rubs

theres tonnes of places selling cheap cages tbh...might sell few of my old ones...make sure you post pics

[blackdragon]

thats true our cage only cost £10 and had a wheel and every thing so don't cost much to set up a nice house for a hamster

I have a small rat cage that would suit fine as a hamster cage if you add a wheel

would want £5 for it

what type of hamster you getting natonstan? a syrian would be fine for the cage emma is selling a dwarf could prob get out easy though
syrians are best for handling anyway imo anyway my campbells/winter whites are ok but i just find syrians easier as they are bigger

Yeah, Ive only ever kept Syrian cos of there size, Dwarf hamsters seem extremely small, In fact I still have some of my old stuff left over, I have a glow in the dark Hamster ball, quite a few hamster books, and water dish.

All I need really is the cage, bedding, hides, food, toys and the hamster itself
