My hamsters still get all the care they need, and massive amounts of money spent on them, so its not as if I don't care for them, I just like rats so much better because they are cleverer and build up more of a friendship with you meanwhile hamsters are more solitary. I don't find my hamsters as fulfilling as I do my rats but yet I have chosen to keep them, as I know there would be people that would a) use them for food, and b) mistreat them and I know with me that they get new cages every couple of months, get tons spent on them, and get the attention that they need.

I spent last night looking for a hamster of Cherries that had escaped to no avail, so please do not think for one minute that I don't care about them. I just do not find them as fulfilling as Rats, and if someone who wanted them, and was going to treat them with as much respect and care that I do, then I would let them have them because I know that they are going to a place that they will be cared for and not treated like other pets.

You can look at my other posts on here to see how passionate I am for the care of animals
