FF= For free

Anybody want a hamster. i think its a boy. i call him hampster.

Im forced to give him up. Had him for two years, very friendly. does not bite. Perfectly Healthy, must go to a good home. No cage included.

I have a cage if anyone wants one.

[big_k]

i may be interested, how much does food and all that cost?

[Skylinelover]

Not alot 15 bucks max, I can also throw some in.

Food is cheap, I have a hamster. Its like 4 bucks at wal-mart. Easy pet to maintain. Food bag lasts about half a year.

how do u clean the cage, and how often?

[camero]

I clean mine 4 times a year. Usually hes not too messy. :D Likes to poop in the corner so I just clean the corner most of the time. :rofl:

You should clean the cage (remove shaving and replace) once a week.

Its mostly when its just a baby but then you can lay off. My 4 times a year works well and he doesn't smell or anything. :dunno: But whatever floats your boat!

Well I'm just saying what is proper to take care of the animal, it should be weekly to keep it healthy.

I'd love this for my little brother for christmas. Think you can hold onto him until then? lol. May be a bit hard to keep him a secret for 3 weeks. I'll for sure take him though.

i don't think this is a great gift if your brother is really young considering the animal is 2 years old already, if u know what i'm trying to get at.

mods can delete this if i'm out of line, just a heads-up.

Also. Do you happen to know the average lifespan of a hampster? I've had one no longer than 4 years myself.

Usually about 3-5 years but my hamster had an outdoor habitat for the past 2 years so im pretty sure he has plenty of years to come.

I can hold the little guy for you if you want :) but just until before Christmas.

I can take him 2 days before christmas. I'm gong to want to come and see him before i pick him up though, obviously to check condition and make sure he wont die when i bring him home. etc.
