I got my first hamster when I was about 14. He was a black male syrian I named Ebony. I bought him from Pets at Home in the UK (or whatever it was called back then - it was a fair while ago, around 2000 or 2001)

Looking back, apart from keeping him in a cage that was too small (but not tiny) and using inappropriate bedding because not many people knew better back then, I don't think my care was all that bad. He didn't mind being handled at all and used to run around on my bed as I did my homework. He lived to almost 3 and had a pretty good life. No regrets.
