she'd settled before she got out of the shop, bless. we chose her because she came up to the glass, sniffed around, and then went and walked over all the other hamsters to try and wake them up 
we thought she was funneh
but i've only taken her out twice over the last 2 days, because apparently you're supposed to leave them in...i couldnt, she was looking at me!
she 'asn't bitten me or nuffink

That's good. I've usually found that for about a week or so it's best to leave the hamsters alone and let them settle. Introduce yourself slowly because they get scared so easily, but it looks like she's really friendly and doesn't know any different
You'll probably only get bit if you scare them or try and pick them up when they're sleeping (like, putting your hand into their nest) although they're so cute when you pick them up and they're still asleep in your hand
What cage did you end up getting?

i've got a cage that i had already from my old hamster...but it is quite old. i want to get something decent-sized. they had a nice one in the place i got her, but i didnt have the cash at the time. are there any that you can recommend?

I can't remember if I said or not, but I used a Habitat Safari one when I had hamsters. It's easy to put together, looks nice enough and easy to get parts for. I think at one stage I had the main cage with a little nest bit on the left of the cage and on the right a series of tubs leading into a maze with a look-out tower etc. Only problem was cleaning the attachments because it took a while

You only suggested you had females

They only eat their pups if they get a foreign scent on them. The mother resents the scent and eats the pups. It's why it's advised not to go around poking the new borns and to leave them alone

Lots of animals do that...They won't have boy hamsters with them so no kids.
Oh yeah - hamster []D [] []\/[] []D

That shouldn’t be funny but it is.pyro said:Dude lady hamsters eat their kids dude, I had a hamster when I was litle, it was a she, she got pregnant before we got them. Anyway one day I went back home school and I saw her eating these weird pink stuff...
Same thing happened to me. The problem was she didn't eat them all. Some grow to be adults and you can guess what happened. Suffice to say we weren't short of a hamster of two. Make that twenty.
