Please add tips.

    I had a hamster when I was little but he got out when he was about a year old and we never saw him again. He chewed his way out of his habitrail mansion.

    I have 7 hamsters that are still alive.
    I had 1 female hamster who dissapeared.
    I had 1 sick male hamster who died 4 days after I bought him.
    I had 2 female hamsters that died at the same time, they were about a couple of months old.

    My hamster lived to be four. I didn’t really do anything special except clean the cage a lot, and let him run on a wheel, not the metal kind with the spokes, the plastic kind that is solid so his little feet wont get caught.

    My sisters hamster died after it broke its leg on a metal wheel
    (we got it help not just let it croak but nothing could be done)
