Look What I Bought Today!!/Hamster

A Hamster!!

I spent about £50 in a shop today on stuff for my marine tank and they said that cos i spent so much i could have a hamster and cage for £18 which sounded good

Anyway, here's Esmarelda









Im going to buy her a friend tomorrow

aww shes so beautiful

Yeah, she's cute! She bites though

i love hamsters i think there funny but i would never own one my sister had hamsters and she said smooth them so i did and the one bit me and ive never touched one since

Hmmmmm, I could live with one of those! Unfortunately, my BCs would think it was a "mousie", and try to grab it. Which is more than they do with the real mice which come in here in winter. I have to catch them - when I groan my way out of the loft with yet another ex-mouse, the Border Boys are off under the table to hide, before anyone can actually say "mouse"!

Yup, I'd like a hamster, but it would need to be able to beat up a Border Collie (or, to be accurate, two Border Collies!)

Snorri

Yeah, they are grumpy little things. I had one when i was about 5 and that was nasty too!! This one seems really tiny though, its like a mouse or something. The one i had when i was younger was much bigger im sure

Different breeds of hamsters are different sizes

aww what a sweetie

Could it be a siberian dwarfhamster?? They are a wee bit bigger than ordinary mice..

Just be careful you get one of same sex... Or you'll be having numerous hamsters in no time..

There are a few species of 'dwarf' hamsters.
