You should feed your hamster a seed blend or seed mix to meets to nutritional requirements of your hamster. You should make sure that your hamster has variety of things to eat to keep it healthy. Also keep in mind that not all hamster like the same thing. In terms of potty training your hamster, I don't know anything about that unfortunately!

You can feed your hamster sweet corn, melon, apples, cucumbers, grapes, celery and carrots. However, don't feed them onions, potatoes or kidney beans, to name a few!

Be careful on some foods for the hamster, quite a few can cause health probolems. Mine seems to love apples and carrots.

Never tried it with the container, kinda seemed stupid to me but they say you get the potty stuff and container and put it in there, over time the hamster is sapposed to use it, my moms friend bought be a bag of the stuff and the hamster has more fun eating it then using it, i have had t for a year now and not one hamster that i have used it on used it how they where sapposed to.

I really doubt a hamster will use those properly, but, usually hamster relieve themselves away from where they sleep.

yes i found out how, you can buy a potty or make on ewith a glass, hamsters a creature of habit ( i heard ) so most of the time they pick one corner where to use the bathroom. so take a glass big enough for the to turn around in in the spot where she goes to the bathroom. next day to ur surprise u will porbably see pee or poop in the glass just clean it ouit evryday and u wil have to clean the cage less and that makes less work for you

using glass for a hamster isnt the best of ideas, even if it is big enough they can get stuck and there isnt much air cerculation (sp?) in glasses. so just be careful with that.
