    General comments: A Hamster is a good pet for someone who wants a pet but doesn't want to have to walk it and give it lots of attention

    Although hamsters make great pets as they do not move very fast, I do feel that it is very upsetting the pet dying after you have spent 18 months bonding with it.

    I have kept many pets, and in all honesty a hamster was the least favourite. I find that hamsters are unsuitable for children, due to the fact they are mainly nocturnal and can nip when they are disturbed from their sleep. They also have a tendency to urinate and defecate on people when they are nervous. Whilst dwarfs tend to be quite quick. They are also easily injured; even a small vertical drop can severely injure a hamster.

    From experience I have found that out of the several pet rodents ...

    I have recently owned a Russian Dwarf hamster, and I could not believe how soft and small it was compared to the size of Syrian Hamsters, and they're slightly quicker. I love the walnut patterned markings on their coats, with the stripe down the back, and when you first pick them up, they automatically flatten themselves onto your hand and you can carefully groom their coats with an old toothbrush, as I did with mine. I provided our Dwarf Hamster with a good size cage, plus I put down loads of s ...

    Hamsters make great pets and are perfect for older children. They're adorable and can can fit into the smallest of homes. They come in a huge variety of colours and have virtually no tail (good news if you find the long tails of mice off putting). Any pet is a massive responsibility so make sure you're 100% committed before even thinking about getting one.

    What you'll need:
    A sturdy wire cage (the biggest you can afford), wood shavings, paper bedding, a small food dish, a gravity water ...

    I got a pair of Russian Dwarf Hamsters from a local pet shop; mainly for my four year old, but I also missed my previous Syrian Hamsters!

    I was a bit dubious about keeping Dwarfs as I had very little knowledge of them. I had heard they were nippy and not great handling pets etc. Was I wrong? The pet shop guy let us handle them, and they were very gentle and even licked our hands! Now they are about 2 months old, and they respond when we come back from work etc. At 6.30 they will wait at the d ...

    Ive had 2 hamsters and I have one at the moment, 2 ran away and escaped. I love my hamster very much but i think they are suitable for children over 8 but not for adults.

    I've owned (or been owned by) several hamsters over the years, in fact my first hamster was bought for me as a child. But I'm not going to talk about those little balls of fur (or not much anyway), instead I'm going to tell you about my new little baby, Gizmo, a 7 week old male Syrian hamster.

    ---Gizmo's Family---

    Gizmo is a sweet little fellow, whose closest relatives include, Guinea pigs, rabbits, rats, mice and capybara, that's right he's a rodent. This means he has long, sharp, continu ...

    Hamsters only appear at night and make quite a bit of noise on the wheel or rattling the bars if you take the wheel out. They need blocks to chew on to keep their teeth in good condition. Golden hamsters are friendliest.

    The hamster I have got now is my 3rd one she is lovely and shows lots of affection when cuddling.
    The cages and stuff for them aren't expensive and it's worth it anyway. Hamsters are great pets to have if you haven't got a big house and don't want a pet that takes a lot of looking after e.g dogs and cats. They are very sweet and often make you laugh, be careful though, they are very fast when trying to escape!

    At first I was so excited about getting a hamster but now I can't see what all the fuss was about, all he does is sleep or run, he never cuddles me because he just tries to escape, but saying that he looks cute when running in his ball. The most annoying part is when he chews on the cage bars, I can never sleep!!!

    I had a hamster and it lived for 1 year and 5 months. Unfortunately my friends were unlucky and theirs only lived for 10 months. It says in all guide books that they need to be handled every day, but I got mine out 3 times a week and it was very tame. It only ever bit me once when I first had it. I'd have to say to anyone who gets one that they need cleaning out weekly and it's a lot getting them out regularly. I must admit there was one stage in which I didn't get my hamster out for 2 weeks an ...
