Need advice re: small animals/hamsters

Tenor CS · 03-13-2009, 03:54 PM

Please bear in mind, I am also looking for an animal that costs $20 or less to purchase. Last time I saw ferrets in a pet store, they were $100. And wife just gave me a dirty look when I said skunk.

Her reply: Your farts are all the stink I can handle.

Promise her you will stop farting if you get the skunk. She will gladly accept that trade. Then just go back on your word. Easy enough!

I called the expert today and she said to get a longhair or "teddy bear" hamster. They are the friendliest. Don;t get a plastic cage because it makes them sweat a little and make sure they don;t have "wet tail".

I agree with Sean about getting a Teddy Bear if you get a hamster. Another tip is that if the place sexes them, a male if friendlier and less prone to biting than a female.

True. We got females because the males came with a couple of large accessories that made my daughter giggle waaaaaayy too much.

Crap, I just agreed with a masshole AND a Pats fan....
