a hamster's life

They are nocturnal and mostly like to sleep.  The syrian hamster will fight to death with others of his kind.  So only buy one cage and one hamster.  But you also might wonder why when you see them in the pet-shop they are all in the same cage.  This is because they are babies and they don't mind each other.  But when they turn 6 months, they will grow less fond of each other by the minute.  They need a roomy cage, some bedding or shredded newspaper to make nests.  Sometimes the cage comes with a sleeping hut.  In this case you should just put the bedding inside the hut.  They will all have a pee corner, not always a poop corner (all of my hamster didn't have a poop corner)so just make sure to clean that corner extra well.
