Hamster

[Seru_Bleu]

So over the last week I've been driving my aunt crazy acting obsessed about getting a hamster. For some reason its just really important to me and I'm obsessed about it because I feel like getting a hamster will help me with my depression a lot. I already have a cat and a fish that live in my room and there are three dogs that live in The house. Is it normal to be obsessed over something like this? I mean when my aunt couldn't find the old cage we had which doesn't even matter cause I can get a new one I broke down crying like in was having a break down. I am supposed to get a hamster in two weeks.

Same here, I didn't have any pets but for some reason I wanted a turtle. I told my mom and she helped me to find it (she doesn't like dogs or cats in the house, but she accepted to have a turtle)

I think, pets help us to get a bit distracted, you have reasons to be responsible and that makes you forget a bit about the problems you have. A little pet is a good answer for me.

Hello there! Don’t worry it is absolutely normal to be obsessed with pets and have lots of them, as long as you can take care of them. I have 3 cats, 1 dog, guinea pig, and a Syrian hamster. I love to spend time with my pets, rather than some people and it’s my own choice. Pets will never betray you, like some other “friends” and you can have some fun with them too. During the lockdown, I found an interesting article on petsoid.com/how-to-train-yo... about hamsters training and we are trying to do some tricks now. You should check it as well when you get your hamster.
