The choice is unlimited, because you can even name them after the chemical elements of the periodic table (if you are a chemistry buff), football clubs, famous politicians or your loved ones!

If you really can’t think of a suitable name, or if you’re stuck between several, take a piece of paper and write some names on it, cut it out and place it in a cage. Next to (or on top of) each name, place different foods: a piece of cheese, pet store hamster food, perhaps a cracker, and a piece of carrot. The food he chooses will determine his name.
