[quote=\"Funx3\"]We have 5 Hamsters ....

Each Living in Their Own Private Apartment

My Gal is Responsible for Squeezing them into pancakes on her hands ....
And Mummy Here is the One who Cries Buckets When the 1st Ham-mie Dies Young! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

And ....
We Have a Gou-Gou in the House as Well,
Who's Responsible in Entertaining the Hammies ....
When ALL of us R otherwise BUSY! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Funx3, as usual, you are keeping us entertained and amused :laugh:

How did your doggy keep your hammies enteretained :scratchhead: ? :idea: By visiting their private apartments or by bringing them out for a walk around your apartment? :rotflmao:

Literally ....
By Sticking Its Nose into Places Where it Does Not Belong! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
And Gets Scratch, Yelps Out Loud for ALL its Trouble! Ha Ha ....

We have a Couple of Wire Cages, Placed on the Floor.
Gou-Gou will Entertain itself - Sometimes Just Sitting in Front and Following the Progress of the Hammie in the Cage, at Other Time Practically Hugging the Cage, Trying to Lick its Little Frens within :laugh: :laugh:

Btw, We Have a Little Acrobatic Lady Hammie, Who Luv to Swing Upside Down on the Wire Cage with its .... Front Legs Only!
Amusing and Entertaining, to Both Canine and Us! [/quote]That's fun! Sounds like going to the circus to watch the acrobatic show

If you buy the good type of bedding which contain baking soda, it can absorb the smell and you can change the bedding about once a month.

Can share what is the brand of this bedding which contains baking soda?
Thank-you.

I have 2 pets to take care of already: my husband and my son :evil:

Hi Belle2011,
I like the Fresh and Comfy blue colour bedding and the Heathly Pets Ultra White color bedding.

I am a ‘pet nazi’ and I strongly discourage parents from getting a pet (more specifically little animals) just because the little ones want one.


It’s all fun and games but at SPCA there are so many abandoned pets.

Remember, a pet is for LIFE.

Chinchillas live for 15 years

Guinea Pigs live for 6 - 10 years

Rabbits live for 12 years

Hamsters live for 3 years

Are you prepared to keep a pet that long?

I agree with you that a pet is for life!

However, on the whole hamsters live up to 2 years old.
I had 18 hamsters previously.
Most of them left at about 18 months to 2 years.
The oldest perished at 2.5 years old.

I have 4 guinea pigs below the age of 3 years old.
I read that their life span is about 5-6 years old.

Hi;


18 hamsters is a lot

I had a syrian hamster that lived to close to 3 years old when I was a child.

But we now have guinea pigs -

the oldest is near to 7

the youngest is 4 years old

all were adopted.

I would encourage ppl to adopt, don’t buy. Be a responsible pet owner.

Also, do read up on the pet before buying.

And NEVER buy pets as gifts for others.

Ha Ha ....
90% of our Hamsters is Adopted, some R even Pick up outside our home on Doorsteps

Suspect there May be a couple of Illegal Hammie Stayers in our House Too! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

Even Our Gou-Gou is Pre-Owned, bought over from Another Owner whose Teenage Doggie Can't Live with it!

And Now that I Think About it ....
The 3 House Helpers we have had since 12 years ago R \"Adopted\" as Well -
ALL R Transfer Maids -la! Ha Ha .... :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

You have runaway hamsters asking to seek shelter at your home? Your reputation precedes you.

Oh, syrian hamster can up to 3 years.... that's fairly long.
Mine were dwarf hamsters.

Guinea pig can live for so long?
I adopted a male and female GP.
They never had offsprings when they were with their previous owner.
But i decided not to take the chance and neutered the male, but to my disbelief, the female was already pregnant as she gave birth to another 2 GP one month later!

Joule, are your GP's affectionate?
Mine only make \"wheeking\" sounds when they want food.
They eat so much. In addition to their hay and pellets, I give them fresh veggies and they eat more vegetables than my family of 4!

However, they are so apprehensive when I take them out to play.
They rather remain in their cages even though I left it open.
If I put the veggies outside, they will just grab it and return to their cage to eat.
How can I bond with them? :?
