Most favorie, pumpking pie with whipped cream (the real stuff), least favorite Cranberry salad.<br /><br />Hamsters: When Jesse was growing up we had two. The first one died shortly after we got it, and the second one lived a full life of about two years. Put it in a glass aquarium. Easier to clean. We used cedar shavings, and cleaned the cage once a week. Make sure the aquarium has a top on it, and weight the top with bean bags. The first one we had pushed its food dish over to the wheel so the wheel would not turn, and climbed out. Lived in the kitchen for about a week until I found it the a bottom drawer where I kept the phone books, it had shredded part of a phone book for a nest. Had to clean all the kitchen cabinets after that, so be sure about the cover on the aquarium. They do run all night. Best not to put in a bedroom. We had ours in the living room. They will wake up and play during the day, they like to run around in a plastic ball, but they will pee when the are in the ball, and the ball has air holes. I guess you have to decide if all of this is worth it. The good news is that they only live about two years so it is not an unbearable commitment.<br /><br />Love, your MIL...

If you haven't yet, go to the store and buy her now.<br /><br />I think rodents are a little smelly, but some of them are smellier than others. For example, mice are smellier than gerbils. Who knew? I don't know where hamsters fall on the smelly spectrum.<br /><br />There are a couple of things you can do to help with the smell. First, clean the cage a lot. I clean my mice twice a week. (Sometimes once.) But there are five of them, so they're probably extra smelly.<br /><br />Second, find bedding that doesn't smell. I use a paper bedding that kind of stinks when you take it out of the package, which is dumb, but I haven't had a chance to figure out what less smelly kind of bedding won't give them lung disease. Also, they like to carry the paper around.<br /><br />Seriously, even though I have to clean the cage frequently, my mice are the easiest pets I've ever had. I love them a lot. Not that this fact was ever in doubt.<br /><br />Oh, and (1) stuffing, (2) yams, (3) mushy.Stimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685801693683588805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-42351402602137861522010-11-18T05:25:19.589-06:002010-11-18T05:25:19.589-06:00I have two more things to say about hamsters, whic...I have two more things to say about hamsters, which is about three more things than I'd THOUGHT I'd have to say on the subject.<br /><br />1. Oh, never mind, this one doesn't apply because it's about how to choose a good hamster, but you already have a hamster in mind. (The secret is to ask the pet store clerk.) (If it's a good pet store clerk and not a bored high school student who will say, "I dunno, they're all the same.")<br /><br />2. The wheel Must Not Squeak. It must not. At all. Because hamsters sleep all day long and they are awake all night long, and they will run and run and run and run on that wheel until you want to tell them to go tell Jillian Michaels she's a lazy slacker. And if the wheel squeaks, even a little bit, you will lose your mind---if not the first night, certainly by the end of the first week.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-40431338703714477142010-11-18T05:21:07.463-06:002010-11-18T05:21:07.463-06:00Oh my gosh CUTE HAMSTER!!

Hamsters are a leeeetle smelly, mostly because even when the cage is totally shiny-clean it has that "wood shavings" smell that at least for me is associated with Rodent Cage. And it does need to be cleaned frequently, so cage research is important to find one that won't make you want to kill yourself. If you put a layer of newspaper down under the shavings, cleanup is easier.<br /><br />Favorite food: I like to mix bites, so a turkey, mashed potato, and sweet corn bite.<br /><br />Least favorite: Sweet potatoes with marshmallows. Oh, or that green bean and dried onion dish---*shudder*. And I don't like pumpkin pie, either.<br /><br />I don't like stuffing, but CERTAINLY it has to be dry if I'm going to take a token nibble of it.Swistlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13126937282657655091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-89121504302214869852010-11-18T00:41:29.190-06:002010-11-18T00:41:29.190-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Unemployed in PDXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11921789052691419736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-1845926309193641352010-11-18T00:41:28.049-06:002010-11-18T00:41:28.049-06:001) Favorite traditional food: mashed potatoes

Yes, I know. I'm not human. <br /><br />Stuffing: moist but not wet/mushy<br /><br />Hamsters: stink. Mary is right, though, that the glass cages help. However, we have had gerbils and hamsters and I spent most of my time wishing they would die a peaceful rodent death so that I didn't have to smell them or clean their cage anymore.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07481403621926486234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-20858959684167595592010-11-17T13:57:52.176-06:002010-11-17T13:57:52.176-06:00Favorite food: Whole berry cranberry sauce.

We had them growing up, anywhere from 1 to 3 at a time, and they suck. You can't really train them, so if you get one that bites it will continue to bite you. Plus changing the cage is awful and you don't need another chore like that.Suzannehttp://bebehblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-58290425054524485372010-11-17T12:42:09.548-06:002010-11-17T12:42:09.548-06:001) Favorite traditional food: mashed potatoes

If you are looking for other input about them, they are not the most cuddly pets (I'm a dog hugger, I admit) and they sometimes bite.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887812398897581070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11653780.post-83538818619779817262010-11-17T12:14:18.585-06:002010-11-17T12:14:18.585-06:00I hate hamsters.
