My hamster died when he was about 3 years old and they are kind of a lot of work but I have always loved hamsters. Before you buy an animal you should always read about it because my friend bought one and she thought it would be easy to care for and she ended up selling her hamster. What is sad is that was a gift to her. Be careful what you ask for!

hi, I recently got 2 male dwarf hamsters, they are called Chikko and Chibi. I'm guessing there about 5 weeks old. Dwarf hamsters are the best!

Hello there, my name is Denise and I have 23 Hamsters; 7 babies, 12 golden 'n' dwarf mix hamsters, 4 dwarf hamsters, and t new teddy bear hamsters. Great pets if you don't have a big house. They are awesome with my little girl and other pets like a zebra finch. They love to play and run all over my room. I have made a playground for my hamsters. It has wheels, food and water dishes, toys, chew toys, a little sand box, hay and much more. They love to go out on their ball and they will come if I call they're names, that's sweet huh? Thanks too this site for all the info and care tips...

about half a year ago i fell in love with a cute amazing teddy bear hamster. i loved her and i visited her every day for a week and did some research. i asked my parents if i could have her and they said NO! i was really sad but i still went to visit her. one day i went there and she was gone. i was so sad. i talked to my parents and gave an extensive case about wanting a hamster. they finaly agreed to let me have a hamster! but i had to do a bunch of chores and anything they asked for two weeks and i had to clean my room. i did all that stuff and my parents took me to the pet store and i got my friend Pepsi. i love pepsi and he loves me and i am so happy that i have him. he loves running in his ball and he likes cheese and peanut butter. i love him and he loves me!

when I was around seven, I had purchased a black bear hamster and named her Midnight. on the computer my mother and I had researched about hamsters and heard black bears were the best. it turned out to be a lot of hard work, but I could do it. it required weekly changing the water, thoroughly cleaning out her tank, changing her bedding, and daily refilling her food dishes. but after all that hard work, turned on me and bit me 4 separate times, one of the times going all the way through my finger! on top of that, she last only a short time of 7 or 8 months, dying from wet-tail. it was a big disappointment to me and next time I get a hamster, it will probably not be a black bear hamster.

When I moved to San Francisco, I was in need of a little animal to dote on. Of course, city living doesn't always allow the possiblity to have a cat or dog. I walked into my local pet store and I fell in love with this grey & white super furry teddy bear hamster. Since hamster are so quiet there wasn't a problem having one in my apartment. George is a wonderful little friend. He has only nipped my finger once, because it smelled like a treat and not out of aggression. He is active in the wee hours of the morning - around 12:30am he slowly begins his day, but by 3am I hear the little wheel spinning out of control. Best to invest in some ear plugs if you are going to keep the cage in your bedroom. He loves brocolli, watermelon, almonds, cheese, turkey, dog biscits, and grapes. Along with his fruits and veggies, he enjoys basic store kibble and some treats. As an added excitement, I got him a track to run around in his ball, but I think he was so use to running around the apartment that the track is too boring and he doesn't seem to use it. Eh, I tried. Anyway, I had a hamster when I was 14yrs. old - I didn't quite get then how great they are and I'm happy to rediscover the happiness of having a Hammy. I love George!

I had two dwarf hamsties (hamsters) and they really didn't get along, but they kinda did. I had separate cages and I put them together almost everyday. Then I was going to move and I put them together and they got along fine. Then on the 4th of july my youngest hamstie died!=..(...

I have two dwarf hamsters, and they are sisters. I didnt know that they fight over food and stuff. One day I saw something red in the food bowl and it was blood.:( Then I invited my friend over and she said that they can fight about stuff like that until one of them dies.(we got another cage for the other hamster) So just be careful when you have dwarf hamsters, even if they are related.

Hamsters are cute but they leave messes, small odors, bites, and alot more. They are good for every person in the world if they are kind and responsible. So get a russian dwarf hamster, they are unexpensive and cute. Thank you, Animal boy
