Hamster Help for a person who needs hamster help part 3?

well a leash will be a waste of time... if you have all that crap in there then he will never come out. now look... i have a gerbil. all he has in the world is a cage, wheel, and food, and bedding. and he has lived 3 years (long long long life for a gerbil) and is very happy. as long as you give him love they will be happy. i let him run around every day in his ball. he is crazy happy. you dont need all that stuff for a gerbil as long as you pick him up every day and give him love
