The BRODENTS! Rodent Enthusiast Thread!

[Keletheryl]

I've been trying to decide what pet to get and my boyfriend's been trying to pressure me into getting a mouse, he really loves them for some reason.
As you know, I said i'd been wanting a hamster but that may change to frogs since I don't know how much time i'd have to spend time socializing with a hamster.
I have a lot of time now, but once I get a job I might not have as much time, plus, sometimes I spend 3+ days at my boyfriends house and my mum or aunt has to take care of my animals while i'm gone.

What do you guys think? Is that a bad situation for a hamster or would it not matter?

since im 'joining' here, thought i'd give off a little introduction.
hi my name is queen potato but feel free to call me queen p, potato, queen, or qp idc
i rlly like hamsters and guinea pigs but i'd get one maybe when im older or living in the basement.
dont own any tho
if anyone needs hammy tips/help shoot a pm, did research for nothing, got frogs instead .u. i wouldnt be getting a ham anyways woops
edit; when we were at petsmart getting pet stuff, i couldn't help but look at the pets.
i saw this little boy making fun of the two cute skinny pigs.
he said 'ew they look ugly that one has a moustache!' 'so disgusting they should die!' 'they shouldnt be here they will never sell ewwww!' that was so mean but i did nothing

Hampsters generally are a type of rodent who like to be alone. If you "tame" your hampster they'll be more friendly sure but they're not attention seekers like most most rodents. They definitely need to be held every so often but your guy\gall should be fine as long as every day you or your aunt\mom hold him for a little while each day.

My own two hamsters (and my sister's) are straight at the cage door if you're in the room when they are awake. They always want to come out and definitely love the attention.

That's probably because you give them lots of attention and\or they may have a friendly personality which may attribute to that. Also there are friendlyer breeds then others so you should keep that in mind. I had a ham who sadly passed away but he wasn't very friendly and kinda sluggish-he was a great pet though.

Brazil is a sad mouse, I play with her hours out of the day, once she goes in her cage she hops on the wheel and sits and stares at the wall.

I think i'll just stick with the frogs then for now, and if I have more time then I'll get a hamster. Maybe i'll buy a mouse for my boyfriend's birthday so he can have one, i'm not a total fan
