Getting a Hamster

WewtIm getting a dwarf hamster I had one a while ago her name was Speedy she was very special she was 1 year old when my friends had to move to texas so i took care of it, 3 years later it passed away god bless the little hamster's sole.4 years ain't bad for a Dwarf Hamster, it was realy fast and when it got loose it went really fast and it took 5 people to get it. its been 2 years sence its death now im getting another. :)

my friend had a dwarf hamster called colin he was cute, i prefer them to normal hamsters. Post a photo when you get it!

i have a dwarf rabbit dwarfs ftw

are hamsters good? do they take much maintenance? never had one

i like hamster there cool XD

Hamsters are one of the easiest pets to look after, they take up little space, don't smell if cleaned about twice a week.

Make sure you pick a nice hamster though, some are quite nasty, not to put you off.. Dwarf hamsters i think will be quite nice, i have dwarf rabbits and they are very friendly.

Though hamsters and rabbits need alot of handling, so if you choose to have one, be sure you won't get bored of it. This helps, because they get used to you and shouldn't bite.

I think if you get just one hamster, they might get lonely, so make sure to handle it more than if you had two :).

Hamsters are generally easy to take care of, but as said they can get abit of a bad odour... aswell as that you'll need to clean them out quite often which is a bit annoying at times, especially once the novelties wore off! ;P

The problem with keeping more than one hamster in the same cage, is that they can become quite aggresive and same gender hamsters tend to try and kill each other, whilst opposite genders mate - then end up trying to kill their babies / their babies try to kill them. :(

So be careful keeping more than one...!

there nice and soft aswell , dont forget friendly. :p

I haven't had a hamster in so long. I've only had one and it was 8 years ago. It got out of its cage tons of times and I think my cat eventually ate it or something.

haha eaten!

i would never ever get a hamster/mouse/rat for a pet. I especially hate rats (disgusting, hideous etc.) They scurry around and just freak me out.

Cats - best :)
