Online hamsters can help train children for real pets.
Virtual hamster games are fun online games played by children and adults alike. The appeal of virtual pets is that you get the fun of having a pet without actually cleaning up the animal's mess or spending money on food and other necessities. Virtual pets can be a good training tool for children who want hamsters, but may not be ready to take care of a live animal just yet. Playing these games can help them understand the care and responsibility involved.

3. Log in at least every three days to replenish your store of money. Sign up for training to increase your salary. Purchase cotton, straw and twigs to help your hamster create his own nest. Buy wood logs and a building plan if you would rather your hamster build a log cabin.
4. Care for your hamster by buying special leashes for walking and purchasing other items from the shop to keep your hamster happy and clean. Change bedding chips and clean the cage often.
