Hamsterlover! Welcome to PT! I was going to jump in your defense a couple of hours ago but my mom had me get off the computer to do some chores , so I decided I would post later. Meanwhile, I come back, and WOAH! Look at the thread! I'm sorry you had such a rough start, but there are great people here and most are very helpful. Hope you stay and come to love this site. Its a great site for pet reference and questions, and just talking about your pets.

Those of you who have been criticizing Hamsterlover, please remember that she's new to this site and came to ask a question. Is this the kind of welcome she deserves? That was truely, not nice at all. Honestly, if her hammie was pregnant at the pet store and she came home and gave birth, I consider it solely the responsiblity of the pet store to take care of the babies, not her's. They let them breed, they should be responsible for the offspring. Also, not all pet stores are bad. You don't know the whole story, so please refrain from jumping to conclusions.

Anyway, WELCOME to PT Hamsterlover! I have two cockatiels that you can see in my signature. I'd love to hear about your pets.
