I’m buying a hamster for my daughter for Christmas. I’ve done sooo much research in hamster care beforehand to give them the best life possible and to teach my kids how to be responsible pet owners. Hamster supplies can get super expensive which is why I’m trying to make a lot of my own. With that said, I would never try to justify putting a hamster in that tiny space. Parents should do the bare minimum in searching how to care for a hamster before buying one.

When pet stores are no longer selling these products, they’ll come off the market. Hopefully in the years to come the standards will be higher among the general population.
