in this case you might have mistaken the hamster for guinea pig (cuy) . fried guinea pig is a peruvian delicacy.

They still hold a special place in my heart, but it's unlikely I'll own another unless it's for children. A large downside to them is their relatively short lifespans. Yeah, that's it really. Especially as a kid, dealing with the loss of a pet animal is a big deal. That's why you buy them in bulk! HAHHAHAHHAH! MORE HAMSTERS! MORE! | ||

Unless I am very buch mistaken, that is not a hamster. On June 27 2012 02:05 TheToast wrote: From Wikipedia: Fight to the death then eat your enemy. What a fantastic pet O.O Cats, dogs, even guinea pigs are good pets as they have been domesticated over thousands of years to ellicite certain behavioral traits that couple well with humans. Just because something is cute doesn't make it a good pet, think tigers here. Hampsters are wild rodents. Their nature is towards their natural survival insticts, which includes being violent. They are not loyal nor do they care at all about their human captors, they'd eat your face off if they were hungry enough. Also, they're smelly, gross, creepy, and are essentially mice. Not an appropriate pet for a child IMO. Firstly, I did specify that anti-social species of hamster may kill each other if put together outside of mating. Syrian hamsters are the epitomy of an anti-social or solitary species of hamster. Dwarf hamsters, by contrast, live communally in the wild and usually in captivity. Campbell's Russian Dwarf Hamsters even have the males assist in the birth of their pups. Using Syrian hamster tendencies to decide on whether Roborovskis are good pets is like using Siamese fighting fisk to decide whether children should keep goldfish. As for domestication, hamsters have been raised in captivity for dozens of generations. Many variants on their natural coloring and fur type have emerged and been propogated by breeders. They are quite well suited to being pets and the vast majority are non-violent towards other hamsters and humans. They would only even attempt to eat your face if you were clearly non-responsive and no more recognisable food source was available. Many dogs would act by the same criteria - most of them are not nearly loyal enough to lie down beside you when left alone, hungry and trapped with your unresponsive comatose/dead body. Hamsters are very clean animals if given any chance to be - they will even designate specific areas of their cage as toilet areas, making it easier to keep the cage free of anything that might smell. Unlike mice, they do not have a particularly strong smell of their own. Also unlike mice, most hamsters do not have anything particularly visible in the way of a tail. | ||

After that my little bro got another hamster. As with the previous one our cat was more than interested, and she almost got this one too. The poor thing survived the feline assault, but was scarred both physically and mentally. The cat had mauled his face leaving him with one eye and one hell of a hostile attitude. I was the only one willing to grab the little psycho out of his cage and hold him when his cage needed cleaning. I had to use a wash-cloth around my hand, because the hamster would bite anyone or anything near him. He spent the rest of his life climbing and chewing the bars of his cage. Anyone that wants a hamster cage in his room, I hope you aren't a light sleeper because the little furballs are nocturnal and will run on their wheel all night long :0 oh shiii..forgot that my younger brother lurks on TL | ||

Have to be very careful with hamsters and cats. I have 4 cats myself, and they're all very curious when it comes to the hamsters, but they can't actually do anything. They just kind of sit next to the cage up on my desk and look at him with despair.What's even more hilarious is when the hamsters are out in their ball. The little motherfuckers are fearless. They will roll the ball directly into anything, including a fully grown cat. I think it's actually more intimidating for the cat, in that case. Just make sure your cage is always in an ultra-safe place, like on your computer desk or w/e. | ||

Plus the treehouse with slide and maze shaped add-ons are cute. | ||
