Like most domesticated pets, hamsters will generally clean themselves and prefer living in a clean environment. This does however mean that there is a need for you, the hamster’s owner, to play your part, by ensuring the hamster cage is always clean and supplied with fresh bedding.

The first thing to point out that your hamster will generally designate one or two areas of its cage for a toilet. If you can change the bedding material in these areas regularly, every couple of days, you should dramatically cut down on the smells that may come from a dirty hamster cage and also prolong the period between full cage cleans.
 
 
It might seem that there is a bewildering array of hamster cages available on the market so how do you choose the right one for you and your pet?

Your choice will depend on the amount you have to spend and the available space you have to put your cage, but most importantly on the type of hamster you have, or are going to get, as Syrian hamsters are larger than dwarf hamsters and will therefore need a larger cage.
