What do you like about this subject?
Hamsters are very docile animals and I like helping hamster owners with their questions that's why we created a Hamster-Club which hamster owners can send in their questions, hamster photos, read interesting hamster articles, hamster games, products and much more! http://www.hamster-club.com
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?
I hope that I can help other hamster owners; since a hamster is a very nice, intelligent and cute pet. I provide lots of natural remedies for anyone who might seek assistance for his pet hamster especially when a rodent vet is not available.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
A hamster may become so close to its owner and tamed that you would know that it was worth the effort of having a hamster since a hamster makes you life more cheerful!! :D
