Hamsters.. I know how unfamiliar it comes to some people who didn't feed a hamster before but I must say that it's not that weird. Last year, as I was taking a walk around the pet shops, I decided to buy a hamster. Before I came to Ankara, I was feeding my cat in our garden in my hometown and when I came here, I felt the need of having a pet so I decided to buy a hamster which appealed to me as the most suitable pet for feeding in a dormitory. I started to search for a hamster which is small like 1 month old and pretty, but the ones I found were all crazy hamsters attacking to us and each other. The moment I was about to give up searching, I came across to my little beautiful hamster Artist. She was just one month old(which is enough for a hamster to be called mature) and very sympathetic. I took her with my naked hands, she didn't bite me like any other hamster and she just sniffed my smell. I left her to her cave because it wasn't going to be easy to look after her in my dormitory and went out of the pet shop. I went to shopping etc. then half an hour later, I went to that pet shop and bought her because I couldn't resist to have her! Thanks God I bought her because she became one of my best friends in Ankara. I wanted her to live a beautiful life so I bought a husband to her. They had four children two of which I sold and two of which I promised to give my friends. However, my friends didn't have chance to take them due to some reasons so I had to look after both Artist and her two children. Everything was okay so far but a problem occurred like a surprise pregnancy! One of Artist's children was male so he made her mother(Artist) pregnant because in a family of hamster there is no respect for each other! I said okay, we can look after this new surprise baby because it was only one baby thanks to Artist's old age but... Something happened again and this boy(Artist's son) made his sister pregnant also! This time we weren't that lucky because this young lady gave birth to six little babies! We had ten hamsters in my home! My parents were so irritated with this situation so when babies gave up breast feeding, I sold them all to a pet shop except for Artist. I couldn't leave Artist because she was my little baby still :) She is still living in my hometown, my merciful mother takes care of her but the longest time a hamster lives is said to be one and a half year and now my Artist can be called very old. Anyway she is still okay and energetic like her species is called ''Gonzales'' from speedy Gonzales. I advice everyone to feed a hamster but they should be kept away from each other. Otherwise these surprises may occur to you also :)
I chose your topic to comment because I think it is a funny story. Firstly,I don't like hamsters because they are a kind of mouse after all:) Actually I don't like pets so much but I think it is an interesting experience after I read your writing. I suppose that it is hard to feed ten hamsters so selling them was the logigal thing to do. What I wonder is how all roommates want them in the room and also how your parents want to feed them. When I think my mother I cannot imagine that she accept to feed a hamster so I think your mother is so conciderate. This is all I said about your experience. Maybe I can think about feeding a pet like fish but I cannot still dare to feed a hamster :)
