Hamsters are the pets people get when they don't want pets.

Also goldfish.

They're prone to tumors and even though you think you don't need the wettail treatment, you WILL eventually, so just get it anyway. Get it a silent wheel thing even though it costs more, it won't keep you up cause hamsters are nocturnal. I spent almost 100 dollars on my hamster and everything for it. Here she is.

It will not be worth it, trust me.
Why do you want one, anyhow? For the sake of having a pet?
You lose the whole point of having a pet if it is no fun and hates you. You'll spend your days cleaning its cage, feeding it, and all it will do is sleep all day and run along its wheel all night. More likely than not, when you want to love on it, it will bite you.
Assuming you're an underage b&, you probably won't be locating a nice place to get one from and just hop over to the local Petsmart/Petco, where they don't properly socialize the things and they live to be little shitfaces. Particularly Dwarf Hamsters.
Hamsters stink. They aren't nice. There is a very slim chance of you enjoying this pet for reasons aside from LOLCUTE.
Want a good pet? Try a rat. You might even have a better bet with a mouse than a hamster.
Really, though, you have no business owning ANY animal if your guardian says no. They take care of your ass, you should abide by their rules. She'll know pretty quickly, seeing as the scent of rodent-cage is pretty damn easy to sniff out.

Just go catch a beetle in your back yard or something, fuck. Do you really NEED a hamster so much that you'll betray your parent? You're a shitty kid.

0/10

Every hamster i've ever bought from Petco/Petsmart has been well socialized.

Although, you could just be handling/picking up your hamster incorrectly; which causes the biting.

I've not owned one myself, but every person, friend, associate I've seen buy a hamster from there tales them as being cocks. Maybe they're all holding them wrong, I don't know.
I just don't recommend them.

I have to agree with everyone else... I love animals, but hamsters suck. Yes, they are cute, but they make bad pets. They won't love you, they don't DO anything, and you'll just spend all you time cleaning up after it. And since you're a kid and kids always do this... you're going to get bored with it and stop cleaning its cage because cleaning sucks, and it's going to die from a respiratory infection.

But don't get a rat, because rats are awesome and I don't want you slowly killing some sweet innocent rat because you're bored and want something to play with for a couple of weeks.

You don't need an animal to be happy. Just make some friends, your mom probably has no problem with that.

um wow okay. I'm not that fucking young. I know how to care and treat animals. And no, I will not get bored of it. I love animals and cleaning cages is no big deal to me. I'm used to it because I used to own a dog and a bird a few years ago.

man fuck this thread. I dont even know why the hell I even bother replying and whatnot. All I ever get is bullshit about how i'm fucking "underage" or I dont know anything.

I just wanted some advice on which kinds to get and any tips that would help me care for them, thats it.

Fucking 4chan...i should've known better

I'm just saying, hamsters are kind of shitty animals and you shouldn't pick that as your pet. And going behind your parent's back to get an animal is just screwed.

well you know what. Maybe shitty animals need more love. I could careless if they're shitty or not.
Besides. Why does it matter to anyone here if I get a shitty pet or not? I means one less shitty pet for you to look at right? > >
PS. I said i was thinking about it, not that I was going to do it right now.

Wat--- Hamsters are great animals... if your hamster doesn't want to play with you and doesn't like you then you are DOING IT WRONG in taking care of your hamster. I've had 4 hamsters and they all loved me. Unfortunately I'm in college now and can't have a hamster because my dorm bans animals.

Your hamster should arise around 6 or 7 pm which is when you should play with it. You can also condition hamsters to be diurnal. I had a hamster that actually did sleep at night and was awake during the day, because I trained it to wake up and go for a run outside every morning. It lived a long and healthy life.

tl;dr, people who don't like hamsters suck.

it sounds like you want a pet for the sake of having a pet, and not because you want an enriching experience with the animal, itself. Why consider one, and at such a time when its clearly inconvenient for you?

... Your mom doesn't want you to get one, so you have to go behind her back and get all supplies and shit without her knowledge. Inconvenient.
Can I say that is a bad idea? Unless you have a shitload saved up and ready in case it gets injured or contracts a disease or something else wrong with it.

I know you've gotten a bunch of threads already about "OMG DON'T DO IT YOU UNDERAGED B&"

Seriously though, this thread includes advice for you, so at least skim it, yeah?

My friend had the same idea you did about... maybe 6 years back. She wanted a pet, but her mother was allergic and said she couldn't have one. She ended up going to Petsmart and buying a hampster. They asked her a bunch of questions about if she could take care of it or not and she bullshat every one. Those people are not hard to lie to.
In the end, she couldn't even get the thing into the house without her mom noticing. Have you thought that one over? I don't even mean that to be condescending, I'm curious though. Because my friend didn't know what to do so she picked the thing up and put it in her messenger bag and walked into the house with it. What's the plan for sneaking in the cage, the food, etc? I'll give more actual advice when you reply.
