After knowing the type of hamster you certainly should know also about how to care for your hamster to live longer, the first direction is about the residence or hamster cage.Pet cages suitable for this type of a sealed enclosure, usually in the form of wire or a small trellis in parallel with the mat underneath to store sawdust or sand as place refuge from the cold, make sure it is safe for the hamster cage protected from predators such as cats and mouse .
Do not scatter food because it can make a stable hamster cage hamster dirty quickly and make you look shabby.
Use place separate food and beverage.
Put toys in the form of a spinning wheel in the cage.
Clean at least once a week, or when you feel the cage was too bad.

Hamsters are animals eating everything (omnivorous), but does not mean should be given all kinds of food. a good meal is a mixture of grains, beans, corn, and pelet. Mix these foods have a complete vitamin required by a hamster.

Below are ways to take care of baby hamster.

If your hamster is pregnant visible immediately separated from the other hamsters, it aims for its baby not to be eaten by another hamster.
Do not separate baby and mother, because the baby will die if nothing is breastfeeding.
Do not touch its baby, if it you touch the baby will most likely be eaten by the mother its own, use a spoon if you want to move the baby.
Keep the cage from the hustle and try to cover the premises of the fabric to the dark cage, hamster likes the dark, in this case because I recommend that for hamster quieter in nursing babies.
