I've heard that (Syrian?) hamsters usually make poor pets because in the wild they would have extensive burrows which can't be recreated in captivity. What are your thoughts on this? If it's accurate, how would you suggest trying to replicate it?
Also, do you think it's better to have a cage that's colourful plastic (basically the commercial small rodent cages) or do you think people should be trying to make their cages as close as possible to their natural environment?
