Is it realistically possible to get a hamster and all the food, bedding, housing and toys it needs for 100$?

Yes, if you can find a cheap cage. The cage is the most expensive thing. You may be able to find a used one at a garage sale or thrift store. Be sure to wash it very well. Or, wait for a pet store to have a big sale or go out of business. My hamster's favorite toy was toilet paper rolls. Ask a family with lots of kids to save you their toilet paper and paper towel rolls. Feed your hamster nuts, crackers, and vegetables that you'll eat too: http://www.hamsterific.com/HamsterUniver鈥?/a>


That way, you're not food shopping just for your hamster.Is it realistically possible to get a hamster and all the food, bedding, housing and toys it needs for 100$?
you can make all this stuff yourself.


if you work with wood, save up all the shavings from router work or planing. only use pine though, cedar will probably give it ';allergies';


buy some small gauge chicken wiring form the feed store.


make the toys yourself, be creative. how hard is it to make a running wheel?


remember you can always make things yourself, dont be afraid to use your hands.Is it realistically possible to get a hamster and all the food, bedding, housing and toys it needs for 100$?
Cage should run you $35-$40 at most.





Food comes in a box for $2-4





Hamster cost--depends on species.





Exercise wheel $10





Food bowls--you can use any you find at rummage sales





Water bottle $4





I'd say you should be able to do it for around $50 at most, you can even find discount supplies everywhere and make do with stuff off of Freecycle.com or Craig's List.
You must be joking. The whole cost where I live for the hamster, the cage, the food... everything, is around 80 - 90 dollars. Yes, you can get a hamster for under 100 dollars.
Yup, we had mice (which require more or less the same things as a hamster) cost us about 50 bucks, for a cage, bedding, water and food bowls wheel, treats a ball and toys
yes
