When i was young, my parents ever bought 2 teddy bear hamsters and 2 dwarf hamsters. After feeding them for a few months, i have plenty of hamsters in my parents house. As these hamsters are very fast multiplies in quantities, i started to have not enough time to take care them all. At last we had decided to sell them off to the nearest pet shop. At least, the pet shop have many assistants to take good care of them.

Yes, when they are growing in numbers, it's better to sell to the petshop, so that these hamsters can get good care. Because without good care, they can easily fall sick.

I don't have any hamsters now, but when I was a kid, I loved the dwarf hamsters. I had two or three.

i also started with pair of dwarf hamster, their cute being small and don't require big spaces but there's only one thing i didn't like about them,they tend to bite specially if they are not tamed properly. thanks for the rep.!

I like hamsters very much i did not have hamsters at my house,but i have seen more hamsters near my house,they are very cute.When hamsters growing more its better to buy a petshop,so that we can take good care,but without good care they can be sick very fast.So whenever we buy hamsters we have to keep them in a safe place.

I had one hamster. She was Yoyo. Her body was grey and white. She was so cute, active and a good girl. She was polite and gentle. She liked playing wheels and climbing paper rolls that I hung in the cage for her. In winter, I knitted woolen mattresses and clothes for her to keep her warm. At night, we closed the curtain for her, so that she had a good sleep. Both myself and my daughter loved her so much. Whenever we came home, she said hello to us by making some lovely sounds and dancing. She loved her home very much, though we opened the cage door, she did not like going out to play, just walked a few steps and went back home. She did not like taking a bath with that white powder, but she knew she had to. We miss her. Yoyo left when she was two years and four months. The two of us cried a lot for her leaving and for not providing her a tomb. We lived in an apartment, so we did not have a yard. Moreover, we are not allowed to bury any pets ourselves in public area. It is the government's rule. As a result, we had to think the other way round. The spirit of Yoyo had gone to heaven, so her body was not a matter now. Her body would not feel anything now. This was the only way to ease my daughter's pain and my pain, too. I wrote a long passage about her after she left as a memory. We do not have another one after that. It hurts when seeing anyone that we love leaving. It is painful. Yoyo, see you in heaven!
