Here are some of the stuff we use for our own hammies! all have been tested over a few years and so we know they're safe for hammies! plus! they're cheap cheap and easy to get!
1) Cage/Container
Mr: Habitrail Safari. $30+++ add ons and tunnel tubes available! its a world reknown brand for hammies or mice~! highly recommended by quite a number of hamster books~
- Toyogo plastic multi purpose storage containers. abt 15 to 20 bucks. quite big and with wheel
- fish tank. not too bad as well but a little heavy imo.
Mrs: Plastic Container, those toyogo ones~ abt 5 to 10 gallon ones. those multipurpose ones~ cheap and easy to find! used to put toys and stuff. can get that but usually it dosent come with a wheel or second deck. good thing also is the bedding dun get out when hammies burrow! but another thing is the draft free air. could be good or bad. bad when it gets too hot! so if ur place is warm best to go for grill cages.
2) Bedding
Mr: Dr Harry's cat litter. made of recycled paper. little dust, light very absorbent and able to hold smells in pretty well! good for u as u dun have to change so often good for the hammie as less dust, cleaner env w/o strong smells of pee! only thing owner might not like the colour!
Dr Harry's Review here!!!!: Bedding Quick Review: Dr Harry's Recycled Paper Bedding/Cat Litter
Dad and Dr Harry's bedding Sample
Mrs: Woody Pets Wood Shavings by Allspan Corp. $1.90 for 1kg. world reknown wood shavings company. 50% pine and 50% whitewoods. softer and more comfy than delikate wood shavings! shavings sizes and texture are roughly the same as delikate. also the one or 2 sharp pieces and some dust will be present.
Woody Pets Shavings
Other beddings include corn cob, recycled paper bedding such as back-2-nature, dr harry's and breeder's celect, aspen wood bedding, etc. dr harry's or breeder's celect is highly recommended now instead of shavings. now adays owners usually recommend such bedding it goes for 5.90 to $7 per 10l. Since cedar bedding IS dangerous for hammies. However, many do not go for recycled paper as it is of a much higher price. Sluis is also another good brand of wood shavings from pet lovers centre.1kg for $3 or so.

3) Food
Mr: Brown's Banquet Hamster/Gerbil Mix. 1kg for $8 or so. pretty good and balanced! just be sure not to add too much fruit as too much for hammies also not good! extra fruit must be limited as well! (good pet stores)
2) Brown's Encore Haster/Gerbil mix. Buy the bigger pack if u have more than 3 hammies. more worth it. roughly same as Banquet but i find tt better still.
Mrs: Habitrail Hamster Mix. 1kg for $4 of so. no fruits in this one! but its also pretty balanced and either way the hammies will eat de la! (many pet stores)
2) Brown's Nutrition Plus! Cheap and good! comes in a big pack for a small price! balanced nutrition as well.
