Hello, My daughter and I have a female hamster age about 1 yr 8 months. I previously had 4 rabbits over the years (always in pairs) and feel much more knowledgable about them. I am new to being a hamster mum. We also fostered a pregnant cat and kept one of the litter so have a wonderful cat who knows us so well. My other daughter now has a turtle in an aquarium. We have a lot to learn and love their gorgeous faces and characters.
