Winter White dwarf hamster

I got it! My little ball of joy is safe at home. I'll try to upload pictures soon. She's got an attitude, that's for sure. She's so sweet though. She's even already tamed! I've held her, my baby brothers held her, my mom, but my dad still is unsure :P. Haha. When I couldn't find her, I dug through the cage, and found her sleeping. I accidently woke her up, and she got MAD! She snapped, but no bites or nibbles. She sooo stinking cute. She finally went back to sleep, after eating. I've ordered a ton of stuff off Amazon, including a wheel, ball, hideout (she has a homemade one right now), and a ton of other stuff. She is going to be spoiled rotten. I finally chose a name for her. Her name is White Chocolate Mocha, but Mocha for short. I still can't believe she is already tame, although I haven't really gotten to know her yet. I'll have to try some more games with her tonight when she won't squeal at me ;). I'll keep you all posted!

    1. This is the same "anonymous" by the way. I already have 2 guinea pigs, but I really want a hamster too! I used to want a gerbil, but mum doesnt like gerbils. She said she didn't want another pet. So now I've been looking into hamsters as they dont have the same mouse/rat appearance. So, how can I persuade mum to let me have one? I look after the guinea pigs well. I would put the hamster in my room. Mum would probably be worried about the smell and noise (as they are nocturnal). What could I do? Also, she says that if i have more love to give to a pet, I should spend it on the guinea pigs.

    2. Well, people have their own opinions of what's best. Bin cages are "in" right now. There are a ton of YouTube videos on bin cages. Also, aquariums work well, too. Most people say 360 sq in at least for hamsters, but I disagree. I DO NOT have enough room for something that big! Just try to get something as big as you can. Also, the cages with tubes (I bought one on Amazon.com... It should be coming soon :) are great, but only for dwarf hamsters. A Syrian could get stuck and die... And we don't want that! The really cheap "hamster cages" are the thing that you can't use. I'm using that right now, but only until Wednesday or Thursday when I get my new cage. Hope that answered your question!

  2. I know how you feel :). I have heard a ton of things that worked. People working around the house, getting good grades (what I did), making posters, making powerpoints, joining hamster forums to show their parents how much they care, making hamster binders, etc. Go ahead and show your mom this blog if you want to! Also, I would join http://hamsterhideout.com/forum/
    A lot of people on there have the same question/ hamster problem as you. About the noise, my winter white never wakes me up in the middle of the night... she's pretty lazy :P. Also, try offering to PAY for everything. That's the most common thing that works. Thanks for visiting my blog! Share! If you have any other questions, feel free to comment some more! I will (try to) answer in the next 24 hours, although probably in the next 5 hours, since I get an email when people comment, and let me tell you, I love the feeling! I love that people want to know more about hamsters before getting their royal fluffiness :). So thanks for visiting!
