Take it from someone who worked for Petco for four years.
YOU DONT WANT A HAMSTER.
Especially if it's a dwarf. They bite, and they bite HARD. Ask my pinky. Lost a whole nail to a new momma once. I almost killed that bitch.
Hamsters are really not the ideal pet for children, and I dont give a rats ass who has one and says they are. They piss on you, shit on you... sure, they look damn cute, but, if you dont do the right kind of care, their teeth can grow over an inch long. I shit you not.
Plus, it's hard to sex them when they are young. Females are usually the more asshole-ish of the two. Specially them new mommas.
You ever wanna do animals of any kind, gimme a buzz. Im a vat of useless knowledge when it comes to pets. Cats, dogs, fish, lizards (my specialty!), grooming.. Im all over it.
