Bad move i reckon the little bastards will have you up all night, stink as well. Good luck Dr Dolittle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping them in the bairns room and if she complains that they are stinking or making too much noise they are going the journey, i'll either feed them live to the rabbits or set them loose over the golf course at the back of mine for the foxes to devour!

The Mighty Hog 330 Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Had a hamster when I was a young un. They are pretty low maintanence. Just need cleaning out every few days and are usually good tempered with kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a hamster that went missing so me being a great dad went to buy another one the same day to stop my daughter being upset. Obviously then the first little bugger turned up so i had to put them together in the cage. Needless to say we have only one hamster now, the strongest and fittest one !

I wanted to get Gerbils but wor lass doesn't trust me with them , must think i've got a bit of Richard Gere in me! 51477[/snapback] a couple of hamsters? i dont you should give hamsters in pairs as they will litterally tear each other apart!

Needless to say we have only one hamster now, the strongest and fittest one ! 51535[/snapback] But when you see them in the pet shop there's about 4 of them all huddled up together - so i thought if i just pick 2 that are lying on top of each other sleeping happily then they'll be ok? Who suggested cleaning them every couple of days, once a week if they're lucky. Might just keep them in them balls you can get for them and let them out a few times for some food and drink, good exercise for them and it ensures there's no cage to clean and then i can just wipe clean the inside of the ball. Easy and practical, i might even strap the hoover to the back of one so I can sit back and relax.
