Hamsters for kids (and parents)
-
Btw...you are talking to a hamster expert here :).
I had a whole hamster farm previously and was selling the offsprings and supplying them to shops
Hamster come in a few varieties..some of which are aggressive ie they bite. There are some that are tame like anything. No matter how you squeeze them, they don't sink their sharp nibbly teeth into your hands. You have to look out for those. The sapphires and the winterwhites are the tame ones. the campbells are the naughty ones. Robos are usually ok, but they are quick like lightning...and it is very hard to hold them still and stroke them.
As for the stink, the hamsters don't like it too. You have to be discipline to keep the cage clean. And that will take lots of work. Using those shavings that absorb and deodorize the smell will help. -

Wah so solid! I had a couple of hamsters too... don't really know what they are but they are very light grey and white with slitty eyes. Not sapphires or winterwhites for sure. And they bite even if they are not provoked... u just have to reach out to them.Btw...you are talking to a hamster expert here :).

Lost touch with hamsters already...but there are many variants...believe or not, the aggressive trait is hereditary..it is passed on from parents to offspring. So, character sometimes is inborned.
Therefore Kiasu parents will have Kiasu children.

That's probably true. Some gene thing going on here. By the way, I split this thread to a new one in case the original poster screams and wonder what hamsters have to do with creative writing :shock:...

Oh, you are going into the gene thing. So it come to the question of can a child from a average parents get nurture into some talent? That's a hard questions. But seems like it is easier to be seen in animals that lots of characters are hereditary.Lost touch with hamsters already...but there are many variants...believe or not, the aggressive trait is hereditary..it is passed on from parents to offspring.

i have been severely loaded since young for my insurance because of the medical history of both my parents (high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke), although I exhibit none (hopefully never
) of the conditions. but it's a great way for insurance companies to make money by blaming the parents. -
With the human genome been mapped and effort to identify the disease causing genes, people may be deprived of buying health insurance that covers those illnesses that their genes deemed susceptible to. I won’t want my kid to be scanned for those in their genes

Hi,
My son has been asking for a pet. He has been asking for a dog or rabbit or hamster. As having a pet is a great responsibility and we definitely do not want any pet to suffer or worst die under his care. As such I am wondering if there is any rent-a-pet service in Singapore which allow the child to experience how is it like to look after a pet before committing to it long term. Anyone know one around? -

Don't know any rent-a-pet services. But my child had a class pet which meant the responsibility was shared with a whole class of children. They had quite a bit of fun. Of course you'll need to ask the class teacher and the school. Not all schools would allow it. But pets can help children understand responsibility.Hi,
