About WikiHamster

Hello and welcome to WikiHamster! If you’re looking for hamster related resources, you’re at the right place!

WikiHamster is the ultimate online resource for hamster enthusiasts and non-professional pet owners. This site is owned by a few hamster enthusiasts and hamster owners so you can be sure that we only have the best interest for hamsters. Our aim is to provide information that is accurate (We scour through academic journals and books so you don’t have to!) and up to date about hamsters.  

Hamsters can be a lot of fun, but they can also be a lot of work. After all, even though they might only accompany you for 2-3 years of their lives, you’re likely to be the only person they come in contact with in their whole life! You want to be sure that they are well taken care of and have a happy hamster life!

Don’t worry if you’re a newbie hamster owner, we’ve got everything you need to know here. Our friendly tone and helpful advice will put your mind at ease, and make taking care of your hammy a breeze.

We understand the challenges hamster owners face:

  • Which breed of hamsters is suitable for me? 
  • How to care for hamsters?
  • What should I know about hamsters before buying one? 
  • What type of cage should I house my hamster in? 
  • What type of food should I feed my hamster to keep them healthy? 

Here, we want to share and learn together:

  • Where to start if you have no clue about owning a hamster? 
  • What to feed your hamster and what type of human food you can explore together with your hamster? (My favorite topic!) 
  • How to deal with your hamster’s various ailments? (Please refer to our medical disclaimer as content on WikiHamster should only be viewed as educational information only )
