Hamsters Are So Cute!

[piclezgomoo]

I think it is quite rude when someone calls a hamster a rodent. Nothing is wrong with being a rodent. I know they are but rodents have been given a bad name for no absoute reason! I know my 3 month old hamster Diego Joe is very civilized. (so is his cage) I have recently gotten more stuff for his cage & he loves it! I just think it is wrong that people critisize rodents! It is evil!!!

I have also decided to start a Hamster Hotline. Anyone who has any questions, comments, or needs advice on hamsters should post! I am checking my boards frequently. This hamster talk is open to anyone of the rodent family! I can also hook you up with small animal breeders! I'm your girl!

This is somethign that my hamster absoulutely LOVES! It is a very nutricious treat which is fun to make! What you do is take some lettuce, then some raddish, & carrots. Cut up all of it so it is kinda small. Then take a towel & place it on the ground of the bathtub. Put a few toys or objects in the tub on the towel. Such as a baseball cap, a mini igloo, a soebox with a hole, or a toilet paper roll. Then ide the peices. Take your furry friend & place him in the tub & watch them! They'll have fun searching for their treat! I call it hamster hide & seek treats!

Another fun thing to do with your hamster that Diego totally recamends is to go for a walk! I'm serious. Buy a hamster harness & leash! To protect his feeties I made thise little felt shoes by just takign a small squared of felt & trying it not to tightly around his foot so he has his feet protected! It gives hima great excisize! Don't do it while it's broad daylight though because that could hurt your furry friend's eyes. Do it jsut as the sun is setting!

Something very fun to do w/ your hammy is to make a maze for them! Just use a big cardboard box. Then use contrction paper to create a maze. Use tape to connect peices. Then put ahole at the start & one at the finish. Put a treat at the end & your hamster at the beginning! It's fun to see them find their way around! Doego likes it alot!

A fun thing that I love to do w/ my mommy is to have a pic nic together. My mommy will set a sheet outside on the grass & put my hamster playpen around it. Then she brings out food. She normally pavks me a teeny tiny salad. It has lettuce, carrots, raddis, cabbage, celery & broccoli! It is fun because with my playpen my mommy's dog cant get me. For dessert I normally get a little bit of her strawberry yougurt! Well I have to go run in my run-a-ball! It is brand new & SO MUCH FUN!

I don't think it is bad to call rats rodents. It is what they are and there is nothing wrong with them. Of course some people give them bad names but that's okay.. lots of people love them. Byt the way.. nicce.. cute posts heh.

Thank you for your opinion! I liked it very much.

I agree. I just think people assume rodents are these little dirty & ugly cratures! If you look at the picture of Diego Joe on my siggy you can tell he is not ugly or dirty!

Rabbits acctually Aren't Rodents but Lagomorphs..

Also, just so you know - Guinie Pigs are Cavy's ...... I think it's interesting how all these small animals have diffrent names, or groups

Those are really neat tips! My favorite rodents are rats. I'm owned by one rat, she's super smart and super sweet. Her name is Mokey, and you can see her picture in my signature. By the way Diego Joe is very cute!
