Hamsters do's and dont's?

I just got a (large) hamster (panda I think they told me... I think its a syrian...) and I'd like all the tips i can get. :)

Hamsters do's and dont's?adware remover

Do:

Cuddle her

Keep her alone (no other hamsters)

Feed her a good diet, some you can buy, but also fresh fruit and veggies. No onion or garlic, it can make hamsters bad tempered. No citrus, it's bad for them apparently, as is white bread.

Give her toys, vary them. Chewing seems to be most hamsters favourite passtime, so anything chewable is good.

Don't:

Keep her on pine or cedar chippings.. apparently they're bad for hamsters.

Feed her too much lettuce, cabbage or cucumber, just as a treat maybe once a week, max, they all contain a lot of water, and can give hamsters diarrhoea.

Give her too much fresh food to start with, start maybe 3 times a week with small amounts, and increase it. Many in pet stores aren't given any, so their bodies have to adjust to it.

Keep her in her cage all the time. Hamster balls are brilliant for them; they can run around your whole downstairs (or a single room upstairs.. don't want them starting up and ending downstairs).

Let the cage get dirty. You should clean throuroughly around once a week with an animal disinfectant. Too often and she'll just end up stressed out, too little and she'll end up dirty and unhealthy.
