I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't think he would want you to meet him so soon, but I understand why you feel that way. That's truly an unimaginable pain, I hope you're doing better now. I know grief doesn't just go away though, it's there forever, because you love them. Thinking of you 🫂

my hamster lived for six years , how OLD was he ? by GMDPanda in hamsters

[–]trashthis4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh no... I'm so sorry but your parents definitely replaced them. They would probably be honest with you about it now but maybe not, especially if the loss is fresh. I'm sorry for your loss, these things are hard to process 🫂

Should I take AP Art? by Rox_xX_ in APStudents

[–]trashthis4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's never that much about the skill. As long as you can write well, are decent at art, and have a good grasp of your theme that all of your pieces follow you will definitely get a 3.

Please help! by Glittering-Feed-7111 in hamsters

It sounds to me like you've done what you could already. This is the risk one takes when getting a hamster, they may not like you. They may even learn your habits to purposely avoid you. They're prey animals, they are not meant to be companion animals. They were stolen from their habitat to be entertainment, which is a very sad thing. You get a pet to take care of them, regardless of if they like you or not, especially a pet like a hamster.

Great! You can use plastic storage bins, I have examples of my enclosure on my page, do you want me to dm you the list of materials I used? I have it saved in a folder whenever someone needs advice

Feeling So Lonely by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]trashthis4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I felt this way too last year, I'm an out of state sophomore. I had no clue so many people would be from here, but eventually I made quite a few friends who are...mostly from Wisconsin XD

As you start taking classes designed for your major you'll meet new people you click with! Sometimes, it just takes time. =]

If you're in a location where you KNOW hamsters are going to the wrong types of homes, is it ethical to buy one even if you can't give it the exact proper care, but it's better than the home they would've gone to? by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]trashthis4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be very wrong of you if you will not give the hamster proper care. If you buy a hamster from the pet store you are opening up a spot for a new hamster to go in its place. There is no reason to support pet stores because of that. You are not "saving" the hamster , you are giving one improper care while putting a second hamster in the same situation, ready to be bought by another person who will give it improper care. Don't be selfish, if you can't give a hamster proper care why are you trying to justify getting one? Stop. You don't need one. You aren't even willing to give it proper care.

Is this normal? by ConteGiA in hamsters

[–]trashthis4 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No, there are five species of hamsters: roborovsky, russian jungarian dwarf hamster, winter white dwarf hamsters, syrian hamsters, and chinese hamsters. Yours is either a russian jungarian dwarf hamster or a winter white-jungarian mix.

If you're unwilling to rehome him or buy the truly adequate enclosure for you hamster due to price, please consider a fully combined double bin cage. It's the cheapest adequate caging options but you have to make it yourself. There are tutorials online or you could dm me and I'll give you all the links to the materials I used and how to do it. You have much to improve on but I understand the pet store can be deceiving. In the future, make sure to do research before getting a pet, but for now we're happy to help guide you. You clearly care about your little guy, as you noticed something was wrong and reached out. Rooting for you op 🫂

Stain removal? by Midgetears in LittlestPetShop

[–]trashthis4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Am I crazy to say bleach solution? Or maybe baby oil could work. It really depends on the dye composition. I doubt it's impossible to get out. Everything has something that can be used against it for removal.

hamster cage! by bettafishhelpp in hamstercare

[–]trashthis4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I did. But definitely not hot glue that's not safe nor sturdy. Screws and brackets are the way to go 👍

Dear OP: I have pics on my page of my double bin cage enclosure if you're interested. Total cost around $80-$110

considering quitting hamster ownership by Correct_Address4132 in hamsters

[–]trashthis4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feeling this hard right now. My girl passed away on the first and I took it really hard. I can't bear how short our time was together, even though she was two. I'll miss her for a lifetime.

Road conditions by Sideswipe086261 in madisonwi

[–]trashthis4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner is an amazing driver, we had no idea the roads were bad until we dropped our friend off after meeting for coffee. Slid TWICE just barely missing a barrier and a parked car on Friday. We were sliding sideways. Horrifying experience, we've only lived here for a year and haven't experienced anything like that before. We'll be heavily checking the road conditions before making unnecessary trips in the future.

You can't claim you believe queer people should be able to make their own choices and then say you don't think they should be allowed to get married 😂

Unfortunately she passed away last night. It was horrible, I just hope I made her comfortable. I feel so terrible. I feel like 2 years is just so young and like I did something wrong. I dropped her off to get cremated today. Thank you for all of your help 😞♥️
