1) roborovski hamster

I've already had some roborovski ones so was going to try a different one, but I still think they're the cutest ones..

either that or I might get a gerbil

I went with Russian cos it's the second cutest after the roborovski but if you already have one of those I'd choose a different one.

I had a chinese hamster when i was younger and it was the most naturally nice natured little thing ever it was lovely and never once in its life did i have to worry about it nipping or biting whereas the syrian hamster (the most common one found in pet shops) i used to have was a little wanker that used to bite.

Do not under any circumstances get a Russian Dwarf Hamster! They're vicious and evil.

Get a nice friendly Syrian one..

I had a Roborovski a few years back, he was quite fun but they are extremely fast and hard to handle. They aren't pets you can interact with that much since they can escape from you easily.

The Russian one is very cute, I can't view No. 1 so can't comment on cuteness of that one.

Get one of each, and then kill the ones that are least entertaining. Seems the fairest way to me.

The Russian one is cute I suppose but you should get a baby elephant. Must have pets this summer I hear.

update: I went to the store today and brought 3 gerbils instead, they're so adorable. There was 5 so I would've gotten all 5 of them but one was white with red eyes which is bad apparently and the other was an ugly stone color.. (plus I only had £30 and they're £10 each.)

so in the end I brought a black one, a sandy one and a white/grey one :love: i'll post some pics soon once they've settled in.

I know, I was surprised that they didn't ID me or anything (im over 18 so it doesn't matter but still..) surely there should be an age restriction on buying animals?

So you ask us what hamster to get and completely ignore our response and buy 3 gerbils. That's the last time I help anybody I'm telling you that now.

Even if it was me, Glenn? Remember, I set your eyes on Manual Ferrara.

Honestly, that guy is immense. Total man crush!

Siberian hamsters are so cute.

personally i'd prefer a guinea pig to a hamster though. hamsters scare me because they are so small and fragile, im always afraid i'll hurt them when i hold them.

Saph
17-05-2013, 08:29 PM
my gerbils are so cute, although they've completely eaten there tissue box bed so now they have nothing.. I gave them 2 toilet rolls and the cardboard sleeve from a ready meal curry packet and they ate them as well.. (well they dont eat it, they just tear it up)

ooh and there names are Luna, Solar and Star

Luna's the black one, Solar's the golden one and Star is the white/grey one, i'll have to take some pics when I buy them a new cage.

I've seen some ****ed up James Deen porn. He was fisting this girls vag so hard that he like tore it, and it was bleeding, and she was begging him to stop, but he just went harder. I don't think it was acting. She was tied to a chair. You could tell she wasn't into it, cause she was totally dry, imagine getting fisted when your vag is totally dry. It was from a series called bound gang bangs.
