May I just add both my babies were planned I am still with their daddy and am now in my last year of Uni I just chose to have my children first that's all.


Anyway back to my point no one should pick on anyone for anything especially not their love of animals. These people are very obviously fools.
Daisy is a very lucky lady to have a mammy like you x

You're happy in yourself. They propbably aren't.

I spent my 20s mostly clubbing and drinking, oh and smoking. What a waste of life that was!!!!!

I'm 47 now and love making soap, running and keeping hamsters (I have .

Everyone's different. I like people with interests and hobbies. Whatever they are, if they're passionate about something, then it's right for them.

I'll say it again. You're happy. They probably aren't. Confidence is a great thing in life. I started to get some in my 30s and the difference really is incredible.

Believe in yourself and surround yourself with people you like and who like you. There are plenty on here.

Unfortunately people are quick to judge... what right do they have make you feel this way? None. 'Those that mind don't matter and those that matter don't mind'... a nice quote for you xx

I don't do clubbing or drinking. I don't like that.
I like to spend time with boyfriend and Daisy.
He loves her too. We won 5 cages on eBay, so on sun we going for a long drive around picking them up.
Oh looks like you got a few hamsters too.
I want another one.

Thanks every one for the lovely comments. I've sorted Facebook out so only some people can see my pics of Daisy.
I am trying so hard not to talk about daisy when the people who are nasty are around. Some times it's hard, as I could talk about her all day.

I used to go out all the time drinking/clubbing, and I actually hated it, I did it because I felt that's what I had to do because of the people I was with did. I hated who I became because of them, they were that good of friends that they didn't even notice that it was making me ill and unhappy. So I stopped, settled down with my boyfriend and we got our first hamster, and I am so much happier now that I can actually be myself for once. I am 22.

Ignore people, it's your choice of what you do, no one else's. People are cruel, and it's quite pathetic. I don't get why people see hamsters as a children's pet, it shouldn't matter what the animal is, as long as you love him or her. Maybe if more people could see how loving hamsters are they wouldn't be so quick to judge.

I agree people can just suck sometimes. When I was 26 I had an obession with naked molerats. I would watch them at the national zoo website. Do and be what makes you happy. We will have hamsters for a long time tocome because, I like them; even after my stepson ( has grown up.

I'm 20, never go out to clubs, don't drink and when I do it's malibu and cola, with 4 rabbits and 2 hamsters. All children's pets () but I would love for a child to come and care for my animals they'll soon get bored which is what usually happens. They're both misunderstood pets and rabbits are expensive to keep if, like me, you make a hutch for £300 but end up buying a £200 shed for them and spending £200 on runs instead also have 2 dental rabbits and one can't eat hay so vet bills can be delightful Hay costs me about £20 every 2 months and vaccinations are £20 a year for all 4. And we are currently planning to laminate one of my single buns bedroom and revamp it which will cost about £200, all so we can adopt him a wifey My hamsters have cost perhaps £300 in cages and wheels until I felt I got it right

Nice cheap and easy kids pets Don't listen to anyone, if someone takes the mick about me having rabbits I just tell them the most recent vet bill, what they actually need rather than plonking them in a hutch with muesli .. they soon shut up!
