Hammy Care Guide
Cage size:
Cage minimum in the United Kingdom is 620 sq inches of floorspace.
Cage minimum in the US and Canada is 450 sq inches of floorspace
Cage minimum in Germany is 741 sq inches of floorspace
If you don't live in the countries above, do as much research as you can about cage minimum in your area. If you don't know which cages are suitable, here are some good links for you:

Diet:
When it comes to your hamster's diet there really aren't that many commercial seed blends that are going to meet your hamster's nutritional requirements. If you live in the UK then the best two seed mixes that I know of are Tiny Friends Farm Harry Hamster Tasty Mix and Pets At Home's Own Brand Hamster Muesli.
If you live in the US and Canada then the best seed blend you should be feeding your hamster is a mix of the Higgins Sunburst and Mazuri Rat and Mouse Diet.

Bedding:
Yes I am doing a section in my hammy care guide about bedding. There are lots of beddings sold out there for hamsters that are in fact unsafe. Pine, cedar, birch and anything that is labeled "Softwood Shavings" are unsafe. Unscented paper beddings such as Carefresh and Kaytee Clean & Cozy and safe wood shavings such as aspen and hemp are the beddings sold out there that are great for your pet.
