Don't get the chinchilla or dwarf hamsters though... they are meaner and I had some and they both got tumors and it was so gross!! Then I read that those kind are prone to tumors....
So in my opinion I wouldn't get that kind of hamsters but the teddy bear or the kind I have ( not sure what they are called) are really nice.. and very tame!!! |
When we got our gp's they told us they could live 5-8 yrs. One of the
females had 2 babies 63 days after we bought her. We didnt know she
was preg. But we gave the 2 babies away. They are born with hair and
they look just like a miniature gp. They are adorable pets. But after
we lost ours my kids don't feel like they can be replaced so they want
a different kind of pet. So we might try hampsters. How long do they
live? ( Our gp's were in an accident.. we left the back door unlocked
and the wind blew it open. We were gone for approx 4hrs and our
weinie dogs got in the house. They went upstairs and shook the gp
cage until the top popped loose. The gp's got out and ran away. We
looked for them for approx an hour. We found them under my son's
dresser but they were both dead. They looked normal, so we
thought maybe they had a heart attack or something----we
don't know. But we lost them both that night. I felt really bad
since I am the one that didn't lock the back door.
