I just got a hamster today. He is a syrian black bear hamster. I love him SOO much. His hare is like velvet. I named him maxwell. Any way I have a ten gallon tank for him. He has a silent wheel a dish a cardbord tube a watterbottle and the box that he came in in his tank. Is there anything else I should get him?? And also I have dont LOTS of reaserch on hamsters and I pretty much know how to take care of them but If there is anything else I need to know or if you could share any great websites with me that would be awsome. ILUVMAXWELL!!!!
thanks
Well the food list that the first girl gave is good. Oh yeah, I was the one who gave that name Max, and I have a Black Bear Syrian hamster who is a boy, and I think I maybe the one that told you to get a Black Bear, idk, I forget, lol. But anyway, he sounds good, but you can decorate the tank with stickers ( i did ) and you can make a BIG piece of paper and decorate it and draw on it and tap it on the back of the tank so it looks like a backround. You can also take things from home and make toys. To me it looks better when you make colorful things from home. I hope I helped, GoOd luCk
