    Pet hamsters in Thailand.

    No, not for shoving up me clacker.


    The kid's always wanted a hamster, might finally give in and get one or two of the little furballs.

    Though how are they for living in a cage in a living room that swings between 16 degrees aircon, to 500 degrees Celsius when we're out, then back to 16 degrees again?


    Okay to get one, or should get 2 females? Okay living together in one or are they like human females and end up purposefully destroying the other's life?


    Are they smelly little fokers that will be flushed down the bog when she's at school? Or pretty easy to forget that they're even there?

    Cheers.

    Hamsters are great if you want to teach a traumatised child about life and death after the furry little fucker ups and carks it.

    You'll know when your aircon is too cold, they go into hibernation mode and play dead. So bear that in mind before you sling em in the bog or bury them like the above poster

    yup - high maintenance for the "stink" factor and they tend to sleep during the day

    The great Fluffy disaster. 3 days of bliss and lots of friends visiting to meet the new pet. Day 4 and Uh Oh Fluffy wont wake up. Needless to say lots of tears followed for the next few days. That was with two fairly responsible 7 year old kids.

    ^^Get a "Furby" instead. No smell, hibernation / death issues, etc. They probably even have an 'adult' version that you can shove up yer clacker if all else fails.

    Well, the furby with the six speed wifi select vibrator option gets rave reviews.

    Your daughter wants a pet. No on a Pocket Pooch?

    As far as rodents - all stink. Hamsters sleep all day and exercise all night so you get constant "whir" of the wheel to put you to sleep. Gerbils are more active during the day. But, Pet Rats are the most intelligent, active and entertaining, quite trainable. Then, when you get tired of 'em, get a cat.

    As far as the stink factor - cedar shavings and bedding can mask the odor - but, never enough. Frequent cleanings needed.

    Hamsters are bred and consumed in the Andes.
    Food for thought.


    A cat might be a better interactive pet for the sprocklette, Lu.

    Cats are lodgers that stay out shagging all night and just come home to sleep and eat.

    Get 2. Name one Lulu and the other YourDaddy.

    Then after 3 weeks get a Small python. Feed both of them to it and then let the Python go.

    Great education for all the family to enjoy...

    What happened to the pet turtle you were going to get for her?

    Hamster facts:
    Hamsters shit. Their shit smells like hamster shit.
    Hamsters can bite. Their bite fookin' hurts and can draw blood.

    Summary:
    Hamsters are furry and lovable until they bite you (or your daugher) and you get sick of the smell of shit.

    Advice:
    Don't get one. Go to see some at a pet shop or a pet cafe. Buy your daughter a cuddly toy on the way home.

    We have a guinea pig. It has survived the first year. It has failed miserably keeping the grass short. I wanted guinea fowl, wife wants pigs so we compromised with guinea pig.

    Cats are vicious and no fun.

    Get a dog and you'll have endless fun.

    Let's face it. Owning a cat isn't really that much different from not owning a cat. They're haughty, they're temperamental and most of the time they act like you don't exist. On the other hand, dogs are loyal, cuddly, goofy and best of all, love you no matter what. Here are 13 reasons why dogs are way better than cats.

    and not one of these

    Pet hamsters in Thailand.-chin-jpg
