hiya i love my hammys to bits but if they grew tails i would run the other way! i can cope with a small non existent hamster tail but if i look at the rats or gerbils in the pet shops they totally creep me out!!!!!!!! the size of their paws and their hosepipe tails gives me the creeps!

is there anybody on here who is the same as me?????????!!!!!!!!! loves their hammys to bits but hates tails????? IF HAMSTERS HAD LONG TAILS I WOULD NOT HAVE EVER HAD ONE!

also i hate mice for the same reason, if my cat brings one home i scream and get up high! i once had one run up my pajama trouser leg and it went right up to my crutch and i screamed and lept about untill it fell down. i was trying to catch it in my house when it got to close for comfort! i dont know if my close incounter has made me phobic or not!!!!!!!!!

Ive never been afraid of tails - i actually really like them. Have you ever seen a Chinese hamster? they have the sweetest little tails. All hammies have tails from dwarfies fuzzy little tails to syrians pokey pink ones!

I wouldn't say I have a tail phobia but i'm not very keen on them!

Tails really don't bother me. we now have a chinese ham - my son puts his finger on Indianas back so he can curl his tail round it then tells everyone Indiana is farting at them lol

I don't see whats wrong with them

Its my mum that gets creeped out by rats and mice tails, thats why I cant get any

shes says ' I'm not having that thing in my house! their tails look horrible!' Then she has a little shiver

Their tails are fine by me! They aren't long enough to wrap around your neck

Yes I was admiring gerbils today but then when they moved the tails freaked me out a little.
