Dwarf hamsters, just like any other pet, need the right supplies for their proper care. Apart from TLC that you provide, they need things that will address their health concerns and day-to-day requirements.
A dwarf hamster must live in a cage. This is an important dwarf hamster supply as this is where he will be spending most, if not all, of his time. Make the cage a large one. It does not matter if it is wire, plastic or an aquarium tank as long as he can freely move about, especially if you have more than one dwarf hamster.
Get your hamster a suitable cage. The recommended cages are made from either plastic, wire or a glass aquarium tank. You must remember to place substrate on the cage floor and on the sides of the cage. There should be 1-2 inches and 5-6 inches respectively so that your Dwarf hamster has a place to scramble up and burrow about.
Get a hamster potty for your cage and fill it with cat litter (pellet form, if they are not in pellet form, your dwarf hamster might have health complications). You can also fill it with hay. Look for the place in the cage wherein your hamster leaves his poo, and place the potty there.
Very much like dogs and even human babies, these rodents need something to constantly gnaw on. Not being able to do so will cause their teeth to keep growing continuously. So much so that leaving them to grow will make it impossible for it to shut its mouth! So get your dwarf hamster a chew toy. Pet stores will have an array of chew toys available for hamsters, mostly made of soft wood. Make sure you check on the cleanliness of the chew toy every day.
Make sure your hamster gets his daily water requirements. Let him drink, drink, drink all he wants. Make sure he drinks from a fresh water supply that is changed everyday. Get your dwarf hamster a water bottle and let it hang on the side of the cage. Do not get him a water bowl. These are prone to contamination and are easily knocked over anyway.
A dwarf hamster needs a little hideaway within his cage. This is yet another essential hamster supply. Because they are reclusive creatures, they need a little nest where they can hide away.
The supplies discussed above are quite easy to obtain. Caring for dwarf hamsters really require little maintenance. There are no special requirements with the environment they must be placed in and all the essential provisions for their maintenance are easily within reach.
