I decided to get a dwarf hamster for the family, (we have a 5 year old child) is there anything I need to know and I don't know yet? I know they have about 2 years life spam and eat special food and need special bedding and a hamster ball. Regarding the cage, can I use a big square fish tank if I add toys, house, and running/climbing equipment? I'm not keen on the colourful plastic cages and I heard they make to much mess when in a wired one..anything else??
