1. One with lots of tunnels and fun things.
2. well i have got a two chinese dwarf hamsters and i got a criter trail #1 and if that is two small you can get #2 or 3 or 4 or 5 ect. and it comes with the food dish and water bottle. hope you find one that is right.
3. this is a pretty good cage http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2752928 although i kind of like this one better but it will cost you 10 bucks more only http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753062&cp=2767038.2769317
4. You want one that will supply a hamster's basic needs, a wheel, place to sleep, place to defecate/urinate, a place to eat and drink, and ample room to run around. Look for one that is easy to clean, and won't take forever to set up and take apart. If it's possible get one with a metal floor, as it will not absorb the odors as plastic does.
5. get one with lots of tunnels and things for him/her to climb and play, also somewhere he can sleep and hide his food.
