You sound like a wonderful hamster owner!!!!Am I a good hamster owner? Rate me 1-10 :) Thank youu~ ^_^?
Yes you are!! :P
pretty good. i don't like the fact that he doesn't get fresh fruits and veggies. they need fresh food like any living thing. i would check his store food to make sure there is no BHT, BHA or ethoxyquin as these are artificial preservatives that can sometimes cause cancer. Just google hamster safe food and you get a ton of lists. here's the beginning of one from hamsterific.com:



FRUITS

Apple (seedless)

Banana

Blackberries

Blueberries

Cantaloupe.

Cherries

Cranberries

Grapes(seedless)

Lychee

Mango

Melon

Peaches (no stone)

Plums (no pits)

Raspberries

Raspberry Leaves (helpful for diarrhea)

Strawberries



other than the food thing you can have a 10

***Just be careful when feeding your pet because you'll need to start slow. (Feeding your hamster too many fruits and vegetables, too soon, can give him diarrhea.) Begin by giving your hamster a small piece of fruit or vegetable 2 or 3 times per week. After about 4 weeks or so, gradually increase the amount, so that you are feeding him a small piece of fruit or vegetable 6-7 times per week.
What is the purpose of wanting a rating? You need people to tell you how you are doing, to give you a pat on your back--why? Be strong, be independent, be smart, be humble, be true, be the great care giver that you are. Your hammie is the one who should rate you, not another human being for it is not a human being that is living in that cage. Isn't your hammie happy? Do you think he is happy? Don't you know? Can't you tell? Are you not connected to your hammie to know how he feels? Don't seek other's momentary approval, find you own confidence and it's yours forever. You know the answer. Now enjoy it with your hamster.
Youre a good owner! But well hamsters can eat any fruit except really juicy ones it will give them diarreah so stay away from oranges,papaya,melon,watermelon,and cherries! Hope this helped!
It sounds like you are a great hamster owner. 10



Just wondering, are some of the treats you give him veggies. Most hamsters adore fresh veggies, and they are so good for them.
9 because first of all you should never kiss your hamster because it might have some illness that could transmit to you. Also even if you care for your hamster and love him, you don't need to spend that much money on item that is unnecessary like 3 bag of food and 2 hamster wheel ( but that just my opinion)
I think everyone knows that answer, as well as you do. What would you rate yourself? 10/10.

loving your pet makes you a 10
10,0000 You sound great!!! (:
I would say a 9, primarily because you don't need so many things for him.

I've had a few problems with excess hamster food, including mold, bugs biting holes and living in there, and spoiling. Be careful! Just buy what you need. It's not like Baby's gonna spring into a 100lb hamster overnight and demand all the food in the house :P
10! ONE of THE BEST!! really great caring!
9 - if you gave him fruits and veg then I'd give you a 10 :)
