The Good and Bad side of Hamsters

I'm going to take a moment to address the issue of .... HAMSTERS :D. It seems lately I've been wanting to spend my Neobux and Clixsense profits on buying a hamster.

So I did some research.

Hamsters can be cute:

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

But hamsters can also be evil! This hamster below is eating its own babies.

That video also shows a hamster eating its babies.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So I weighed it. I have now earned almost $500 between Clixsense and Neobux. I could have made more, but final exams and studying got in the way, as well as hw. Oh well, lol. But yeah, with $500, I was planning on buying a $10 hamster, and I wagered its food and bedding would cost $50 for 3 months. Then the cage itself would cost $100.

 

But as cute as hamsters are, I don't really want it to eat its own babies :(, not sure I could live through that.

 

But here's why I wanted to buy a hamster:

 

 

1. They're as smart as dogs. They can learn their name and can do tricks. If you let them out of their cage, they will come back if you call them.

 

2. They're cleaner and less maintenance-requiring than dogs. I mean let's face it, they're in a cage, you don't need to walk them, and if you really wanted to, your room is ample enough walking area. They also don't eat as much as dogs :D

 

My sources for these two facts are ASPCA sites and PETA sites.

 

 

But should I get a hamster...? Hmm. I don't really know.
