I now know that you are not supposed to bathe rodents, as it can cause them to catch a chill and die. It would be so sad if she had risked her life for the sake of cute and nobody got to see it. Wouldn't it? Yes. It would. Love, Rachelq 17teen OREGON."

& is a great name for a pet! When I get a pet spider, I'm going to call him Octothorpe (#).

Why the hell did you risk the hamster's life anyway then? what a stupid thing to do and say...
Posted by: Pinda Kaas | February 01, 2009 at 06:15 PM
It says 'I now know,' Pinder Kaas... implying she didn't know before she did it. Meaning she didn't think she was risking the hamster's life. Christ.

You tell 'em, Abi. People are so mean sometimes. She didn't know, now she does, and the hamster is fine so on that note, don't be a dick to her, people!

you're not supposed to give your hamsters baths. If you don't dry them off properly they can get sick and DIE

sometimes hamster can died because of taking him on a bath, but somehow if he survive it you are truly a good owner to him.

I would vote for Buttons in a CUTEDOWN! What he lacks in eyes... is more than made up in orange floofiness!

there is no excuse for "not knowing". a responsible pet owner would do research. all you idiots that read that and STILL comment that they bathe their hamsters are abusive.
