You can pick a cage that is made of plastic with string metal bars or an aquarium, which makes an ideal hamster cage. If you choose to pick an aquarium as your dwarf hamster cage, keep in mind that although they are great for viewing and cleaning, they can be heavy and quite cumbersome when it comes to moving them around!  A plastic cage for your dwarf hamster is probably the ideal solution! But make sure that the cage you choose has a large tray on the bottom. This gives you the opportunity to put into the hamster cage a hamster wheel and some other play devices allowing your hamster to be properly active and it also makes it easier for you when cleaning.

Now that you’ve decided on the perfect dwarf hamster cage, it’s time to show you a few tricks and tips on how to clean it! Dwarf hamsters are very delicate and usually have fun cleaning themselves. You can help them by buying some sand from your local pet store. This is not your ordinary sand that you get at the beach. The sand is called chinchilla sand! Please make sure that you purchase chinchilla sand and not dust, chinchilla dust can be extremely harmful to your hamsters respiratory systems!

When cleaning the cage, make sure you use pet safe cleaners and not your home based cleaners! Home based cleaners leave behind a residue which is harmful to your hamster! Make sure you clean the cage at least once a week and change the bedding at the same time! This ensures that your hamster is clean at all times and thus stays healthy!

Do not mistake your hamster for your pet dog and give them a bath! Hamsters are dry animals and enjoy being that way. Giving them a bath can cause them to get wet tail and could be harmful! Your dwarf hamster cage must be filled with fruits, vegetables and water at all times! These tips will ensure your dwarf hamster stays healthy and nourished forever!
