do you have hamsters?

I never found hamsters to be a smelly animal *laugh* We used to have two. One brown and white one named Eddie, and another one named Missy that we didn't have for very long before she passed on. I used to take Eddie out of his cage quite often and play with him until he bit another family member one time and I became more shy about messing with him. But he was really sweet, and not stinky at all! *laugh* Also, another family member found a pet hamster that must have escaped from someone's house about two years ago. It was wandering around lost in our neighborhood, and she brought it home and we ended up keeping it. It was so cute! It had really long white hair. No one around seemed to be missing it or looking to have the animal back, so we kept it safe and fed it and bought it a nice wheel to run in. It was pretty wild, though, and didn't like to be picked up like our previous two hamsters had done. I miss that little hamster, though.

So long as you keep the cage clean we haven't had any smell with it. They can be noisy no matter what type of wheel you get. We've tried the plastic and the metal kind. Of courser ight now I can hear mine from the other side of the house. Also since you like cats I'd let you know ours get along with it find. One will even let it sleep on him.

I have one hamster. Her cage does not stink thou. I change her cage out every week. I don't buy the expensive chips but since I change it so frequently it still doesn't smell.

I have recently received a dwarf hamster for my daughter. a few points: 1. Hamsters drink water. usually dwarf hamsters drink about 5ml (one teaspoon) a day. If you use a water bottle instead of a drinking tray, you can minimize some of the smell and the need to change water daily. Otherwise, the little critters will often accidently get bedding into the water tray and it will need to be changed. 2. The exercise wheel is essential as dwarf hamsters usually will log close to a mile a day on the exercise wheel (according to the experts who bother to track these things). If you keep the thing oiled with a drop or two regularly, IT DOESN"T MAKE NOISE. They are most active at night. 3. IF you change the cage weekly and use aspen shavings (never cedar), then the thing really doesn't smell up the place. Of course, this is with one hamster. If you;'re keeping more in one cage, you may need to change it more frequently.

YA, I DO HAVE HAVE HAMSTERS,,,,, N THEY DONT STINK AT ALLL... JUST THAT U NEED TO CHANGE THIER BEDDING EVERY WEEK... THAT PREVENTS THE CAGE FROM STINKING.....

I have had many pets over the years, I do now own a hamster, since I have less then 500 posts I couldn't attach her picture here, but I did put it up on the topic (Girly the hamster) if you want to see her. She is a Siberian Hamster(long haired). The only time her cage smells bad is when it hasn't been cleaned in awhile. The paper-type bedding stuff works great and stays smelling good longer then the other type. She is really tame and loves being held. Hope this help ya some!

I do have not hamsters

Well hamsters were used as laboratory animals, they are kept in homes as pets I was not aware. But they are cute.

i don't like hamsters at all, actually i don't like anything connected to mice or rats. so no, luckyly for me, i don't have a hamster.

when daytimes I put them outside so that we won't smell the stink. also, daily maintainance to clean their cage..

I do not have any hamsters but i do agree that it does smell the house.My tenent upstairs has 2 hamsters.When she goes on vacation im stuck feeding them.The cage is in her daughter's room and it smells pretty awfull there it isnt hygenic at all.

I used to keep many of them. But I don't think they stink that badly. There's a faint smell of hamster pee but I don't think that's really overpowering or anything. It also depends on what type of hamsters you're keeping. And how big is the cage. I had syrian hamsters and they are housed individually in 2 feet tanks. Their pee can be rather smelly. So I have to clean the tanks out once every 3 days. The dwarves are less smelly. I keep them in 2s or 3s in 2 feet tanks and I clean them out every week.

I used to have hamsters. There is a certain paper-like litter you can use to minimize the smell. Some hamsters do tend to bite. They are very easy to take care of though. Water is given through a water tube from which the hamster licks water. Feeding is just hamster mix and some veggies (not too much veggies though...it will give him diarrhea!) They can be very lovable pets.

Hamsters are so lovable. They are playful but they do not stink. They would only stink if you would not clean their cage. We had seven hamsters for about a year already. My sister bought two hamsters to breed last year but they did not reproduce so she bought another pair, and just like the first pair, it didn't mate at all. So she bought three hamsters and they all look cute. They play a lot and it can really relive your depression. This is a pet worth spending money for. Watching them play brings fun and laughter even with only yourself, just be concious with others and don't laugh alone, they might think you have lost your mind for a hamster*laugh*(that's only a joke). This hamster really rocks.

My kids have had several hamsters and I never noticed that they had a bad smell. They were kept in my kids rooms so the cages were cleaned out often. As long as they are taken care of they shouldn't smell too much. The kids really enjoyed them, but they could be noisy at night. We had one hamster that liked to chew on the cage bars at night, it drove me crazy. Now we have guinea pigs instead, they are much quiter at night.

My girlfriend and I have a female long-haired hamster. She's dark brown and white, and goes by Bo, short for Bo-Tubby. The other problem that can come up with hamster is the amount of noise they make at night, being primarily nocturnal creatures. Bo's favorite night time activity is climbing her water bottle, banging it against the glass tank, only feet from our heads. -_-

I have one hamster! I've never had a problem with his cage smelling. I clean his cage once a week and never have had a problem with stink. I suppose is you were to leave the cage unattended for a quite a few days it would without a doubt smell up your house.

have had several hamsters in past for kids and now grandkids; have to keep cage cleaned out regularly or they smell

I had one hamster but when my girlfriend was caressed him it bited her and she got scared and hit him with the hand and killed him:( From then i didn't had any hamster.
