| Question about Pets:How are hamsters dangerous? |
From Hamster to You: The hamster can bite you whether you hurt it, aggravated it, scared it or didn't do anything to you. Hamsters are very curious animals and to find out what something is (like your finger) they try to bite it. You probably won't get any diseases from the hamster if he/she bites you, but it might be painful.
To the Hamster: Hamsters can get colds (just like us) and die from them. You have to be careful. Hamsters can also get wet tail disease, which is quite common if the hamster is not properly taken care of. Hamsters usually die from wet tail disease.
Make sure you buy a happy and healthy hamster. I suggest Petsmart or Petco.
