Bedding:
Most beading's can be bought at your pet store, but be sure to avoid cotton bedding or anything like that if they eat it, it can get stuck in there teeth or worse it can stick to there throat. .
I would personally suggest wood chips or bedding like hay that they can eat, no matter what you choose make sure it doesn’t have a strong cent, because that can effect your pet hamster in a really bad way. For changing the bedding you should remove your hamster put him or her in a safe place for the time being and then remove everything else in your hamsters cage through everything that is garbage in the garbage and things like the food bowl water bottle and house should go off to the side then replace the bedding this is a good time to wash the food bowl and water bottle replace them fill up the hamsters food, put everything else back in then put your hamster back in. you should do this every 1-2 weeks or sooner if it smells really bad.
Housing:
The house that your hamster lives in should be a good sized cage with plenty of tubes running around everywhere to give him exercise, but be sure there are no openings because hamsters can get through pretty small cracks. You should have a good starter cage with attachments for tubes witch you can find at your local pet store and add on as you can afford.
