I love rodents and have had pet mice and rats. But every hampster I have ever had has been mean and nasty. They have bitten and hissed at me. I have NEVER had an aggressive mouse or rat. Even the so called "sweet" hamspter are evil!

They are part of Satan's plot. (I don't know!) I have never bothered with rodents. Dogs and Cats are more my style. I have a little miniature dachshund and he is fun.

Hamsters suck. I love rats, mice not so much. Ive never ever ever been bitten by a rat, but ive been bitten by many mice. id still take a mouse over a hamster though.I think personally its a matter of intelligance, rats can understand how nice it is to be cuddled and held and petted, hamsters want nothing to do with being petted, i dont think its because they are evil animals, i just dont think they are very smart in that way.I will never ever get a hamster for my child, she will grow up with rats.much easier to teach a child to handle and respect an animal who doesnt bite their fingers!

Your grammar looks effective in this question. do not enable people get to you. it is after all the global internet finished of persons with many diverse characters. There are undesirable people everywhere and everywhere. And as advise because it is, i imagine that per chance they act rudely because they understand that some different person will supply them a plus one and inspire it. yet do not enable it difficulty you. nonetheless be a member the following and don't be afraid to ask again.

You've just had bad luck with them - I've had many hamsters over the years, and I've only ever had one nasty one - she was just horrid, I wound up taking her back to the pet shop and exchanging her! The key is to get them as young as possible, and handle them a lot, give them treats from your hand, talk to them so they are used to your voice - males tend to be easier than females, too. Don't give up on hamsters, they can be wonderful little critters!

It's all part of an Animal Conspiracy

I think it's the same reason small dogs bark so much -- fear. The whole world is bigger than you so you have to always be on the defensive. People can be that way, too.
