When I was around 10, I remember one of my friends offered to give me a baby hamster and even offered a small cute little cage. I FREAKING wanted it so badly I was just going to take the offer and hide it from my parents who were very angry people and disliked animals in general. The day my friend was going to hand me the hamster I got worried as to how I was going to bring it home without my mom seeing it and realized there was absolutely no where to hide it. Now that I'm an adult, I'm finally allowed to have a pet and I actually did research and figured out that that small yellow cage was a torture chamber (it was the size of about 4 tissue boxes). My little robo is turning two this November, he's my first furry friend. I'm slowly getting myself to be less afraid of animals. Next up are dogs and cats. I'm still pretty terrified of claws and teeth.

Make sure to tell her that a animal is a living animal, no matter what size, and she should always remember that they have short lifespans so she has to do her best to care for them.

With ferrets, it's better to get a pair of them, because one ferret will require a lot of interaction and care from the owner so it wont get stressed and bored, since they are very social. The way she said it just pissed me off. Ferrets are a life-time commitment, like having a dog or cat. And they can be extremely problematic if you dont give them proper care and train, and build your bond with them.

[@sophiaturchiarelli1866]

I definitely agree I had two ferrets and they were a family pet until everyone gave up and it was just me so I gave them to my brothers best friends I knew he could give them proper care and one ferret passed and it wasn’t his fault but he showed feeling about it and that really mattered to me

[@jasminezed7839]

And they have to be fed raw! That's a huge responsibility

[@hannahbanana7183]

When she said don’t hide pets from your family, I remember in TikTok were a girl hid a kitten in her closet for weeks until her parents found out and I think they got rid of it

[@yanayii4907]

Tbh I rlly wanted a hamster and I kept on asking my parents and they said yes. But I hadn’t done any research, and I just thought,” all they need is a cage and food and water.” I hadn’t really thought that much about how it’s environment had to be and what’s bad or good for them and what made them mentally happy. Now that I’ve been watching this channel for about two weeks I’ve decided not to get a hamster until I properly understand its needs and care. And I’m glad about it! Remember that hamsters aren’t toys and that when you get one you have to understand that you’re caring for another LIFE and that when you get one you have to be completely responsible about it and make sure that it gets the proper love and care that it deserves!! 💜❤️

Not necessarily! My husband impulse bought a hamster for our children without my knowledge and he was in a tiny cage initially, but within a week I’d done loads of research and upgraded his cage and he now lives in a huge German inspired naturalistic enclosure (PawHut XXL) with well over 1000 square inches of floor space!

[@tiffanykey4589]

Laura same here , we impulse brought a hamster. We did research and got an Alaska cage now we have a detolf. I don’t recommend impulse buying but not every one is bad . It’s good that people research.

Apparently I was wrong for thinking this because then I ended up feeding my rabbit yogurt drops as treats. I even read books about rabbits that told me it was ok to feed them carrots daily.
