I really wanted to get a small rodent, and I just can't decide between a hamster and a mouse! I have done a TON of research, so I can take care of either one, but I can't decide between the two. Help!!
I vote mouse . I know I am going to get bashed by all the hamster lovers for saying this...but I think mice have more personality and are more affectionate.
I think hammie. I had one before, he was named Stuffy. lol (I was younger) He kept climbing the walls of the cage and he was too cute. :3 He also went to my hand the cuddle and be pet. To bad he died...
I had two dwarf hamsters. Tiger and Hammy. I've never had a Syrian before... I did get a hamster, I would probably get a Syrian. Are they easy to tame?
I was a little kid, so I didn't have the best taming skills... The only problem with Syrians is the amount of space needed for them. But they are lovely little guys
Well, I haven't gotten the cage yet, but I was considering my ten gallon that I'm not using. But I am concerned about the ventilation and the ammonia building up inside... Of course I would spot clean everyday and deep-clean every 7 days, but still. Plus CritterTrails are to small and the one I had broke apart really easily....
That's what I was realizing.. I know they need a lot of space because in the wild they run hundreds of miles. But I also can't decide between Critter Trail and 10 gallon tank. I am not to sure about the Critter Trail so I am probably going to use the 10 gallon.
If you're not set already, you might consider a pair of gerbils! They're very social and loving, not to mention speedy! They love to run and play, and they actually adjust to your day/night schedule very easily. They are desert animals, and thus don't produce very much waste. I have only ever had one bite me, and I have had them for 14 years. I keep two in a ten gallon, but it is a little stuffy when they grown old, because they love the room to run. They also love to climb and jump!
EDIT: er nevermind I didn't read the above post about gerbils! >.<
