[@marvelousmerrow9566]

@@christopherdavis1401 a few years ago I took a hamster from the little sister of a former classmate. She bought the (syrian) hamster without her parents knowing and kept it over two days in a box just a little bit larger than the Hamster. We told her mum and adopted the hamster (named Ronja) afterwards. She had a wonderful character, but was very sickly and sadly died a year after, even the vet couldn't do much about it. :(

What I don’t like is when people say “stop hating on me, my hamsters cage is big enough for how small she/he is!” It’s not hate it’s advice and facts about proper hamster care, and if you had done research you’d know. Edit: btw if you do own a small cage that is under the bare minimum floor space, this comment isn’t meant to hurt you or your feelings, just don’t take advice to offense. Most times it’s just people trying to tell you what is best so your hamster can have a good life.

I agree. I got my dwarf hamster 3 years ago, and he still lives in one of those small pet shop cages. Should of done my research, but Victoria has learnt me what I have is wrong. But I sadly cant change it as my house cant hold a cage big enough for him and hes honestly on deaths door. But please, do your research! (Like I wish I did.)

Hey, do you have tips on how I can persuade my parents to let me have a hamster? I’ve done loads of research and decided I would get a bin cage so it’s really big. My parents have said no because they smell and it’s a rodent. And my mum thinks that it will bite her all the time because one bit her when she was younger 😂 any other tips? I also said I will pay everything :)

[@JustElleYapping]

@@cotcclubb tell ur parents to shut up they smell but who cares, they r cute. Umm I didn't have to do persuading because I asked me nan (who has 4 dogs) to get a Husky, and instead they got me a hamster (named husky) I friend of mine went to persuade her parents, she did research, made a list of things u need, etc even made a PowerPoint and then her parents suprised her. So I'm not sure on any advice, but Hamster are animals and even us humans smell.

[@ponypower9846]

@@cotcclubb I recommend buying a spray that will help with oder control and will help to deal with the smell. I use enScentive no sent pet oder management. It works really well to keep orders away. As for being a rodent, well, there isn't really anything that you can do about that. You could try arguing that hamsters are nocturnal and burrows, so your parents might not even see the hamster much. And lastly, if you work hard to tame your hamster, they most likely won't have a biting issue. To be on the safe side, make sure to wash your hands whenever holding your hamster. This way you won't smell like food. Also, don't wake your hamster up. He or she might get scared and bite you. That's all of the tips I have for you. Good luck!

Yesterday at work (I work at walmart) this woman was buying hay and some other things that were specific to guinea pigs and one was a treat that was like seeds and stuff on a stick. I held them up before bagging them and said "we have a couple guinea pigs and they love these so much" and she's like "oh that's relieving. We're getting our first two guinea pigs in about a week" and honestly.... When she specified TWO guinea pigs i almost jumped for joy. I mentioned how seeds are debated a lot with being safe for guinea pigs and that some people worry that they'll choke on them if they bite off too big a chunk. We talked a bit more and bro, this woman did her research on guinea pigs and honestly that made my day so much better. I love when I ask people about their pets and it's obvious that they did their research. This woman, who all she did was do the basics for getting a new pet, made my day so much better yesterday.

[@papachrist200]

I love that she was also getting all the supplies together and set up BEFORE getting her piggies! People get their supplies at the same time that they actually get the pet far too often!

"The cage is big enough, he's so small" It's like putting a dog in a travell carrier for all his/her life, no one will do that, than why the people do it with hamsters? (Just because you're small doesn't mean that you have to live in a small space)

some people who get hamsters don’t even do research and it’s so sad. they don’t get cages large enough to provide proper care for their hamsters, they keep their hamsters in the same cage, and then they get mad when someone corrects them. their poor hamster is in pain because of them. if you can’t afford proper care, you shouldn’t have bought a hamster in the first place! i really hate these things of people.

[@bell_nicole]

I think lots of people trust the workers in pet stores sadly. I don't really judge them for that, you'd think they know at least something. The bigger problem is when they don't take advice given to them afterwards to upgrade(tho lots of people could work on their tone when advising. Not everyone means to mistreat their animal)

[@lissawilliams8877]

Sadly i was one of those people who got a small cage, it wasn't as small as like the critter trails or tiny tales. But it was like 360 square inches and i wanted to get a bigger cage but my mom wouldn't let me and my sister, we both have a hammy but there in separate cages. But we finally convinced our mom to get bigger cages! Now we have a 600+ square inch bin cage for our two sirans! They are still in seperate cages btw! And i love these cages soo much!

[@audrey-bk4bo]

People should study about hamsters more before getting them. Just because you can get them easily doesn't mean that they are easy animals to take care of.

She escaped that night! She was gone for two days and I thought she was gone forever. Until my dad found her running around in his office.
