Hamsters are bad for you.!!!

[Galee]

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

Lawks oh Lordy, Gary, that's an old report, 2005!

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.

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.

[seymourbutts]

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

[Aardvark]

I thought that was Gerbils

[seymourbutts]

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!!!!

[Fawn]

Well I just hope the rodent gets a good wash and brush up once he's finished his tunnelling exploits. I'd be the first on the blower to the RSPCA if I heard of Hamsters being mistreated. I'm a little bit in the dark as to how one would coax the animal from of the tunnel after said homosexual is satisfied. There's a risk of getting a nasty bite if he doesn't want to come out.

Hey ho.

[beer monkey]

FREDDIE Starr's daughter today joined mourners as they broke out in applause when the comic's coffin - engraved with the words "Return to Sender" - left his funeral in Liverpool today.

Fans, who braved the rain to attend the ceremony, shouted "love you" as they bid farewell to Starr after he died aged 76 of a heart attack in Spain last month.

Richard Gere would agree.
