Aw cute!
I haven't had hamsters in YEARS
my last hamsters name was Ham.... LOVED her.... she was from petsmart (supposed to be a boy).. supposedly females can be aggressive but Ham was the SWEETEST thing, she would ride in my pocket ALL day long
She was also an escape artist and would sneak into my mom's crafts closet at night and destroy the decorative paper in there... she always came back before anyone woke up lol everyone loved her good luck with your little guy!
me and my brother used to have hamsters when i was 12. they didnt last a year. we got 2 males in a cage. my parents went against the employee's advice for 2 cages. mine was actually a female. she got agressive and killed the male. probably got pregnant. she didnt last much longer either. she ate the support arms for the plastic rollcage. she separated the intach running wheel from the supports. i guess she just wanted to have a excercise wheel that wasnt secured to the cage. she ate a bit too much plastic and wasnt able to eat enough actual food to stay alive.
they were fun to own even some micheif. they used to climb up to the top of the cage and we pushed off their paws one by one when that hapened. i know its a bit cruel to do that but it was so funny when we were oblivious to that fact. they also liked to climb under and over the hamster wheel especially under it when the other was occupying the interior of it.
unfortunately i still cant help but laugh when i remember it even if i know its cruel. if i ever had another hamster i'd avoid doing that. 3 paws was decent but when it got down to 2 paws then the hamster had trouble hanging on, much less with 1. i was so surprised to see the hamster wheel was surgically removed from the spines. there wasnt even 1mm of the support spines sticking out of the freed wheel.
I wouldn't mind having a rat. My mother wouls have a heart sattack if I ever brought one home. I've heard they make wonderful pets and can even be taught little tricks.
I have a hamster and he is in my avatar. His name is Cookiedough but we usually call him Hammy or Ham-Ham! I have him in a BIG ovo. He had a little accident recently and both his bottom teeth came out. He's been given meds (ibuprofen) from the vet.
I have Chinchilla's, Guinea Pigs's, and while they technically arent rodents rabbits as well.
Your little hamster is adorable.
I've also had rats, (yes they do make great pets) hamsters, gerbils, and even a degu. The degu was probably my favorite though. It was obnoxiously cute.
I got two female dwarf hamsters. I named them Katherine and Elena, like from Vampire Diaries. Sadlt Katherine died three or so days after we got her from the pet-store. Elena is a very nice hamster though.
My son just lost his hamster "Kat" on Sunday **RIP**, she looked just like MaisyDawgThirteen's hamster Cookiedough. In the past, I had 4 Syrian Hamsters and my daughter had a Dwarf Hamster-"Hannah". One day maybe we will get more, but for now we have gerbils,turtles and fish, so we are full!
***MaisyDawgThirteen, I am glad to hear Cookiedough is better now!
I have one russian dwarf hamster and she's the sweetest thing ever! :3
