He must of had a very bad expirence with dwarfs. I have 2 one winter white one russian Campbells and they both are the sweetest things you could ever lay eyes on. i hope he comes to realize that not all dwarfs are that way :(

Thats Terrible!

I am not a huge dwarf hamster fan, but this person should not be generalizing and saying that all dwarfs behave badly. Sure, many of them do, but not every single one does.

Well technically I do not count as a (child) more of a teen.

Snakes have to eat too, y'know. No need to punch anyone or hate anyone for it. Hamsters aren't actually particularly good food fr snakes, so it's really unlikely that a snake owner would go for this ad (especially for $43!!!)

 

And as said above many times, the original post wasn't necessarily lying or being offensive, they were just stating the general felling that a LOT of people have towards dwarf hamsters.

Okay ping, i still think it is mean to feed hamsters to snakes, snakes can go eat some snake food from the store! no hamsters!

Ping is correct, most people don't feed hamsters anyway, they aren't healthy.  But I'm not sure what you think "snake food" is.  People can just as easily go to the pet store and buy a hamster for much less to feed if they really wanted to.  And how is it any different from feeding rats or mice?  It's kind of silly to claim it's mean to feed someone's pet.  I own 7 snakes along with my hamsters, and I can tell you we aren't cold hearted people.  We aren't horrible human beings because of the pets we own.  We love them just as much as anyone on this site loves their hamster.  They just happen to have different needs that sets them up for very unfair judgement.

It is only MY opinion, not your so no one has to be offended, that is only what i think.

[Roxyy]

Opinions are often offensive. Prefacing it with "it's only my opinion" doesn't automatically make it ok.

[DJ Alien]

Ok lets just move on. Everyone can say there opinion. So please make sure you make it nice and not offensive. (:
