Hi, I'm thinking about getting some pet hamsters. Can you tell me what I need to do, and buy, to keep them safe and healthy?

Alright!  Well, first you'll want a good sized cage, made of metal or plastic, so they can't chew through it.  Next, make sure there's food and water inside, since they'll need to eat and drink constantly.  You'll also need some sort of bedding, like wood chips or hay, since hamsters tend to poop a lot and prefer soft places to poop.  After that you'll want to make sure the cage is kept at a fairly constant temperature, at least from day to night, so make sure you're able to control the environment around the cage.  Is there anything else you want to know?

Yeah, what temperature should I keep them at? What do they eat? What do they drink? What's a good hamster breed for a beginning owner?
