I have 5 hammies!

[WarahGirl1995]

No, he bit me because he was sick and didn't like me.. .

They were successfully housed together, but I thought it better to separate them since the other one was acting a bit weird (but not showing much agression.)

and exactly.. and I'm not saying it's okay to.. I've had hamsters since I was 10, and since then I have done research and know alot about them.

You're doing so many rolleyes soon your eyes are going to pop out of your head! I made this board and I do not want it to turn into a fight. Your hamster didn't bite you because he "didn't like you", it's because either you scared him, your hands smelt like his food, or he wasn't tamed enough at the pet store. I've already been bitten many times by my hamsters, and I don't blame them, I blame the stupid pet store or myself or having my hands smell like food before I take them out, or I blame myself or scaring them. If the hamster was yours, it was obviosuly your responsibilty, even if you were 10. What was he sick with? Do you know? Did he die from it or did you take him to the vet for medication?

Sounded more like arguing to me. but whatever, we've lost the point of this thread, and although I don't think it's that great that sarah ended up with 5 hamsters, I'm keeping my thoughts to myself.

And can you tell me why you think it's not that great for me to have 5 hamsters? They've got to be in better hands with me than your hamster would have been with you.

Did you buy another cage Sarah????

WHOAH!!!! It's so surprising... how many have came into this thread... and looky here... they're totally off subject. Sarah asked for information on Dwarf hamsters. And now it's all about Bri's hamster? WHOAH!!!!!!!! Lets quite arguing and lets not start another fight Bri? Okie? Now lets get back onto subject and talk about Dwarf hamsters. Every thread we make its almost like someone says in their head oooo I'm gonna think of something negative to say.

Bri, you didn't keep your thoughts to yourself. You said what you think. Honestly Bri, you shouldn't be talking, and only 4 years of research isn't much. Just my 2 cents. Good Luck Sarah and I hope your giving 5 ham's proper care in the right size cage seperated.

I agree with you on that.

I agree with you too.

Nope, not yet, we've been so busy. But when my mom comes home from work I'll most definetley ask her to bring me to the pet store. We needs crickets anyway

I really suggest taking a look at the bin cage link I posted earlier There is also a section of pictures of bin cages that people have built here:

Of course they aren't the only cage, I just think they're great lol

I love those bin cages!!!I looked at that a few days ago.They are really nice.

[WarahGirl1995]

Sure I'm interested in those bin cages, but I'm not into buying off the internet. Too much of a risk of getting your code/phone stolen or whatever. I'd much rather like to buy one from the pet store later today

Well, excuse me! I have a right to express my opinions. It's a message board, not the real world.. It's called resist the temptation to buy 5??? I definitely know I couldn't handle 5, even if I was back down to my 2 dogs. Don't even say I don't know what I'm talking about.. god, I can't even say an opinion anymore without getting freaking yelled at. For one thing, I don't even see why I defend myself anymore.. It's pretty pointless since everyone is going to continuously yell at me for my pet's care when you sure as heck don't even know me. Well, sorry for not keeping my thoughts to myself. As said, I do have a right to my opinions, just as the rest of you. And you're blaming me for starting these fights? Pfft.

You may not be able to handle 5 but I can. People have differences you know And guess you bought five? My mom! I didn't even know we were getting 5 until the cash register. 2 were supposed to be my sister's, and 1 my brothers, 2 mine. Not all mine. EDIT: Oh, also, I thought you said you were keeping your feelings to yourself? Now you said you had a right to express your feelings? Hmmm... don't get it

Oh sure.. Excuse me for caring about the wellbeing of a hamster. (and if someone brings me and my 8 bettas into this when it's not needed..) They need time, socialization, and weekly cage cleanings. It's just kind of hard to do that with 5, even if 3 of those belong to your brother and sister. Okay, maybe you can handle them, just hope your dad isn't allergic to them, too.

and I'm trying to keep my feelings to myself, because someone always brings me and my pets into arguments, and I'm tired of it.

You know why people bring you into their conversations (NOT arguments)? Because you're a bad example. I take the hamsters out daily and tame & play with them. I let them run in their ball, run around my room under supervision, put them in a dry bathtub to play with their toys I bought for them. I hold them all the time and they're getting a lot better, I haven't got bitten in a while. We have time to clean their cages, we have 5 bags of bedding, and we've got to use it don't we? Also, who brought you into this conversation? No one, so keep trying to keep your feelings to yourself No one even brought you here you were one of the people that said ooooooooo I'm gonna say something negative like Makayla said.

Warahgirl: The first link I posted (On page 1) Is a link to intstructions on how to build a bin cage, and the second one is just people's own bin cages as examples on what can be done with them (Tubes, connected cages, etc...Not ones for sale )

Pretty much what you would need to build a bin cage is wire too small for hammy to get through (home depot) a bin (Wal-mart), electrical ties and a drill. It is more effort than buying a cage but cheaper (Providing you can borrow a drill from someone :P )

[Crazy-Cat-Lover]

In all honesty, I would rather see these hamsters in a home rather than in a filthy cage in a pet store.

**claps** BRAVO! BRAVO! for you! **claps** **WOOT** **WOOT**
I totally agree.

Uhh, more like arguments to me. You're the one who's rehoming your dog, because of your inability to research before you bought him, not me. You're the one who was already thinking of another puppy when you still had poor Max. Ohh, if I'm such a bad example, show me one thing that says I'm a bad pet owner. I'm selling my own items to buy better food for my dogs. Don't see you starting to buy better things for your dogs. Didn't see you trying to the best of your ability to keep Max. Oh good for you.. I thought you just got them the other day? That would be a bit soon to say for a long time. I never mentioned anything about the bedding, and it could always go to the shelter if you don't use it. Umm, actually yes I was brought into this conversation, and it seems lately because I'm a "bad example" everyone is bringing me into their conversations. I'm tired of it. You don't know me, you don;t have the right to call me a "bad example" when you shouldn't be talking, and you have no right to judge me. I only said something negative, because I do happen to care about the wellbeing of animals.
