Is spoiling my hamster a bad thing?

She has two cages connected, two loft domes, two wheels, a special treat dish, a bazillion toys, three toilet paper chewing tubes, her own litter box about 10 in wide and long, a wooden hut, a slide, and an actual teeny tiny pet bed (looks like a dog bed only tiny tiny). Am I spoiling her too much? She loves me and I love her. She's not spoiled ROTTEN, she's only nipped me once when I was putting food in her dish and accidently woke her up but other than that she's super nice even to strangers (my friends). She's just super spoiled and I was wondering if it is a bad thing and/or will affect her in the long run....
Answers:
That's not spoiling. It's actually a bit good for the hamster. It has lots of toys, room, and things = Lots of FUN exercise things, lots of places to run around, and Happiness!
There's no such thing as a spoiled hamster, but there is such thing as a happy one that really loves its owner for being so nice to it! I mean, Two cages, a tiny bed, and its own hut? It's like Hamster Heaven in there...!
Why should it be a bad thing? As long as she's happy and you're happy, it's not bad at all! Good for you for being a great hamster owner! What a lucky hammy! :)
no! that's great for the hamster.
having all of that stuff means that she'll get lots of exercise and have tons of fun in her cage, which will make a very happy and healthy hamster.
don't worry about spoiling them, i don't think that's possible with an animal.
WOAH how much did it cost you all? My poor hammie is like so poor compared to yours. lol She only has one cage, one wheel, and food? xD Anyways.. i think i'll upgrade her home if i knew what to get her.. probably everything you'ved listed? xD
It wouldn't matter whether or not you had all that stuff. Hamster's just aren't smart enough to notice the difference.
No I think your a wonderful pet owner. hamsters love a busy environment where there is lots to do and lots of stimulation, and you have made sure your pet has all the vital things for a happy, long, healthy life.
I spoil my hamster too. he has a massive 3 storey cage, a draw full of treats (healthy treats!) and he adores, like your hamster, human contact. Keep doing what your doing, she is one lucky hamster.
no of course that isnt spoiling her my hamster has two cages two beds two water bottles a food bowl lots of tubes and a little pinks elephant to play in lol but it is good she has lots of stuff because it will make her happier as they say a happy hamster is a healthy hamster lol because she has lots of stuff that makes her happy and friendly. if you read any hamster book it will always tell you to give him lots of space and fun so he doesnt get bored. do you clean her out often ? if you do that will also make her a happy hamster. she sound like she has a lovely caring owner . hope i helped and sorry it was a long one lol
Well, if you're giving her lots of food, then that is bad. But if you let her run around in her ball, that's the best exercise along with running in their wheel. So, I would say its not that bad
well it's good to spoil pets but don't over do it. they will begin to be very bratty when they don't get what they want. pets arejust like kids if you spoil them too much they really turn in to spoiled rotten brats.
good luck with your hammie =D
