It's the right mix between wire %26amp; plastic. :)What's the best hamster and cage to get for a beginner?
The best enclosure for a hamster is a large fish tank with a weighted wire mesh top. There are no harsh colours and there are no wires for it to chew on. I would not suggest the bright colourful wire tower that was posted earlier.





To give the hamster some entertainment, you buy stuff for inside the tank. Wooden ladders and 'houses'. Plastic can harm the hamster because it -will- chew on anything that it can get its jaws around.





A tank is also quite simple to clean. You take the hamster out, put it in a box, empty the tank, give it a wipe, and put everything back.





p.s - A hamster finds it nigh on impossible to escape from a tank so long as the (aired) lid is closed properly. It isn't uncommon for hamster to figure out the hatch on a cage.What's the best hamster and cage to get for a beginner?
I would say robo or Syrian would be the best. I have 7 Syrian at the moment and I have really good luck with them. The only time they have bitten anyone was when their hand smelled like food. My favorite cage is my 10 gallon aquarium, I just wish I had a bigger one. It is a lot quieter since there are no bars or plastic for the hamster to chew on at night and there's plenty of room for a wheel and hut and stuff like that for him. The ones I have in cages are usually out at night climbing the bars and chewing on them trying to find a way out. I'm getting a ball for them to run around in today though because they are obviously getting too bored. I have heard only good thing about robo hamsters too, about how mild and gentle they usually are. They are also the smallest and the fastest though so you will want to keep that in mind.
well i say a syrian hamster they are very cute , tame ,and great for a first time pet (on own they are solitry)
