Pampered Hamster Likes To Enjoy Her Treat On A Hammock

They might not be every person’s idea of a pet, but a hamster is a great companion. Since they live in such tiny enclosures, you can actually build them as big as you would like! There are so many rodent accessories out on the pet market, making for a very colorful display in your room and a very fun living space for your minuscule pet.

But some people go all out. They build such elaborate mansions, with palm trees and swimming pools and decks and hammocks! Those pets get so pampered, it is only natural to see them preferring to munch on their favorite snack in a laid-back atmosphere.

This is one such pampered mouse. Her favorite snack is broccoli florets, which she gets fed by her owner’s hand. He invites her to slide downstairs for her treat, which she obliges and then she climbs in her hamster hammock, lies on her back and nibbles her snack. Isn’t she cute?

Golden hamsters are popular as house pets due to their docile, inquisitive nature, cuteness, and small size. However, these animals have some special requirements that must be met for them to be healthy. Although some people think of them as a pet for young children, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends hamsters as pets only for people over age 6 and the child should be supervised by an adult. Cages should be a suitable size, safe, comfortable, and interesting. If a hamster is consistently chewing, then it needs more stimulation or a larger cage.

Or perhaps a bigger hammock.
