You're never too old to enjoy watching small furry things running up and down tubes, that's what I say. Honestly mate, don't worry about it, it gives you character.

That one looks fricking cool - when I have kids I'm going to ensure that they get hamsters, just so that my wife won't think that I'm regressing if I got some! :p:

I had 2 Russian Dwarf hamsters, they are soooo cute and making stuff for them to live/play in is really fun. Go for it!

Crap, I look like a sissy now... hey guys did I mention I once strangled a nun?

It glows in the dark, I was thinking of this too, not as fun but easier to clean :p:

Meh, I prefer the other one, but I forgot about that - it'll be a bitch to clean out - ensure you have a secondary cage or something to keep the hamsters in when you're cleaning out their main one.

God, talking about all this stuff has made me think about the hamster I had when I was much younger - his name was Fuzzy and he was wonderful - I was devestated when he died, but still, he lived for bloody ages - was about 3.5 years old when he finally popped his clogs! :frown:

Russian Dwarves don't live very long either btw.

Edit: that's hamsters, I have no idea of the life expectancy of vertically challenged Kremlins.

Yeah, it was very surprising that he lived for so long. Still, condolences of your loss mate. I haven't thought about my hamster in years - since I was about 11 or 12, but I'm surprised how sad I feel now thinking back about it. Still, I'm sure he's in a better place now. :smile:
