Feeding a hamster is quite simple. Use a special hamster food mix a couple of times a
day, and give it some fruit and vegetables too.

Check the cage for food that hasn't been eaten. You should get rid of any old food as it
can make your hamster ill.

How to exercise your hamster

You should exercise your hamster regularly. You can do this by placing him in a special
exercise ball. This way your hamster can run around the house without getting lost.
Since hamsters are more active at night, the best time to let them exercise is in the
evening or first thing in the morning. You should not disturb them in the middle of the
day as this is when they prefer to rest.
