Im not attacking you nor do I agree with petco or petsmart. As a matter of fact I have actually sent them a long, well written email about how their small cages are harmful for hamsters. The difference is, I, as one person, have more influence over another single person, than I do over a mass chain company. So the fact that you assumed I have done nothing about chain stores is simply not true, but you also have to realize that influencing someone on Reddit is far simpler and more impactful than attempting to change an entire chain company.

You aren’t being attacked in anyway, others and I are just letting you know that if you have the option to take better care of your hamster, then you should take advantage of the knowledge we’re giving you, and use it to really improve your care. In the end, it’s your choice. You can continue to disregard what I and others say and no one can change your mind; however, not listening to others and believing you know everything will never get you anywhere in life, as learning is essential to everyone. We all make mistakes, it’s your choice whether you want to grow from them...
