Why choose a hamster as a pet?
There are several reasons why hamsters are an excellent choice as pets:
Small size: They don't require a lot of space and can be placed in almost any room.
Relatively independent: They spend most of their time alone and don't require a companion or constant attention like some other animals.
Enjoyable to observe: Their constant activity and movement, especially at night, can be entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
Relatively easy to clean: Its cage is small and doesn't require extensive daily cleaning.
