Hamster housing

Question
Hello:

I was wondering what kind of "hammie home" you would think is best, and what kind of accessories you think it should have, (it is a teddy bear hamster!)

Thanks!!

Answer
An aquarium, 20 gallon long is the best size, about 30 bucks. Furnish it with a lid, wheel, food dish, water bottle, and vented plastic igloo for hiding and sleeping. In a 20 gallon long you'll also have room for tubing. Use aspen wood bedding over the bottom of the cage, don't use any other type of wood, and don't use cotton bedding. That's basically all you need for your hamster to be happy.
