I hate that people buy hamsters for kids, to die in random ways. I've kept hamsters all my adult life, and they all live to old age because I take care of em and don't stress em out like a kid would. They're so delicate, I wouldn't give the care of one to a kid.
I never had hamsters growing up and I have no idea that little kids often got them killed in "random ways". I can't even fathom what the fuck this means tbh. Do they mean that people accidentally squish them all the time or something???
Tbh I'm a single adult who loves alone and was curious about getting a small pet, but idk if I'd be able to deal with something of decent size like a dog or cat. What are hamsters like?
I once walked into a friend's house and saw his kids tossing the hamster at each other like a hot potato. I bitched them out so hard.
Jesus fucking Christ
Counterpoint: it's a good way to teach responsibility to kids. You wouldn't leave 100% of the care of a dog or cat to a kid, but for a hamster or goldfish, they can be fully responsible (for better or worse).
True enough, sadly the parent often forgets about the hamster and dealing with it
Totally agree but thats not a hamster
That's definitely a hamster
Yeah, now that I've gotten a full night of sleep I see it's definitely a hamster. The tiny ears, the front-facing eyes, the distinctive splayed hind legs. Idk why I thought it was a guinea pig.
That is crazy. Kind of like an 8 inch goldfish that the owner doesn't even remember how old it is.
I once had a goldfish that lived in a bowl on a cabinet. It sometimes jumped out of the bowl, behind the cabinet. It had done that at least 5 times and still lived through my entire childhood. That's a remarkable survival skill for a fish so suicidal.
So "a farm upstate" is really just a "longhouse up in the clouds"?
