Things You'll Need
- Paper bedding
- Small brush
Instructions
Clean the cage daily by removing droppings and uneaten food.
Clean the cage thoroughly once a week. Wash the bottom of the cage with soap and water, dry it and replace the bedding. Use paper bedding instead of shavings, which tend to get tangled in a teddy bear hamster's hair.
Gently brush your hamster with a small brush every three to four days. Hold your hamster in one hand and brush it with the other, making sure you get both its top coat and underbelly. Several brush strokes are all that's needed to keep the hair in good condition.
