Hamsters are bad for you.!!!

If you have a hamster, don't kiss it. It might have LCMV.

I don't really see the point in them.....ok kids have them as pets, but they do stink, and its always the parents that have to clear them out and stuff,they just run around a plastic wheel and make a mess, my sisters kids had them and they had a clear plastic ball you could put them in and let them run around the front room...probably pissing as they go and Thai's would eat them Fawn, so why pay good money for one in a petstore,...not much of a meal either...not for me so i will not catch this thing.
Thanks.

I used to keep Hamsters as a small boy but I never had an inclination to kiss one on account of their dirty yellow and very sharp gnashers. I've never seen them for sale in pet shops in Thailand either, is it not a Thai thing? They probably (and correctly) view them as vermin.

they,re for sale at a few of the pet shops across from fiddlers green , at 80bt each .
i bought the daughter 2 to teach her how to look after animals , keep clean and food , water them . at the time
we thought they were 2 males but now with 9 babys i think maybe it was 1 of each sex .daughter knows no kissing them .
sorry my computer skills not up to posting photos ...

Not strictly Hamsters but small furry creatures and very very funny. It will make you snigger all day.

freddy eat my hamster ???
got a link ?

Gay men love them apparently, especially with their nails clipped!!!

I thought that was Gerbils

Suppose it depends on the size of the "tunnel" the hamster/gerbil will be running in... or also supply and demand... I'm sure if a gay person went into a pet shop and asked for a gerbil, he would accept a hamster if no gerbils!!!!

sounds disgusting....not the sort of thing that we should discuss on health and beauty....its not right.

any 1 out there want first pick of my baby hamsters come .... early you dont want to be left with a ugly 1 ...
only joking NOT for sale ( to single men ) ..
