Hey there, thanks for sharing this interesting information about hamsters! I'm new to this forum, and I've been doing some research on hamsters because my kid wants to get one as a pet. I found your post to be really helpful and informative, especially the fact that they are banned in Hawaii!
I stumbled across an article on hamster health that you might find interesting too. It talks about the cost of treating hamster abscess and what you can do to prevent them.
Anyway, thanks again for sharing your knowledge about these cute little critters!
