so the first ever hamster i got was named ember, they seem all friendly at first.i loved ember for the first 3 days i had him.he was so cute and fluffy, and it was adorable the way he'd stuff food in his pouch. like i said, this only lasted for 3 days.probably on the second week of having him, i wanted to take him out and cuddle him.so i opened the cage lid, reached my hand in. i had to chase him around the cage to get an angle where i could actually pick him up,and when i tried to pick him up, he'd bite my finger.if i wanted to hold him, i'd have to reach in and snatch him up by the scruff of the neck.a couple of times, i was so pissed, i wanted to thrash him around until his little neck snapped. but no. i tried to make him like me, i made my poor dad buy all sorts of treats and toys for him, that he never touched.another reason i hate hamsters- they never stop moving, and they crap EVERYWHERE. one day i wanted to take ember out for some fresh air, so i put him in my hoodie pocket and set out.this was a HUGE MISTAKE. about halfway down the street, ember leapt out of my hoodie pouch and started running off. i had to chase him down the street, and a couple of times when i almost caught him, and he bit me and ran off, i thought about letting him run into the street, and letting him get squashed.but no, i went and caught him anyways. i walked back home, and during the walk, he pooped about 20 times in my hoodie pouch, and i never wore it again.the last reason, is that hamsters are nocturnal. ember loved to piss me off by staying up and gnawing on the cage bars, making it impossible to sleep, or even try to sleep.
