well my little cousin phoned today to ask if I could watch her hamster while she went down to England for a fortnight, and of course I said yes. She brought him up about a hour ago now and he is soooo small! After asking her when she got him his age etc. I found out he is actually a 6 week old Syrian hamster! Worst thing is she got him at 2 1/2 weeks old!
Her mum had bought her him because her other hammy had died from unknown causes. I am soo angry at my local pet shop for selling him soo young! and I'm angry at my aunt for buying the poor wee mite! although I must admit my cousin has been taking very good care of him and has been feeding him up on soft foods. But really some pet shops shouldn't sell pets!!
