Sum bitch may be food in 3 weeks. Adopt often.

Coronavirus might solve the over breeding problem in the US.

I posted this on the OT for a reason. We all know the combined income on this board could pay off the national debt and barely notice.

Pro tip 1: For those on this board that may be inflating your income, I recently learned that hamsters that are returned to places like Petsmart cannot be resold and are kept in the back and they will give them to you for free if you ask if they have any.

Pro tip 2: Don't buy those tiny little hamster cages from Petsmart. They're too small. Hamsters need at least 350 square inches to live in and they'll live longer.

Was this smart arse comment really necessary? With your attitude, you don’t deserve a pet.

Local rescues will work with you on food & vet bills

There is a lot of unknown right now but if OP saved 1 animal it was worth it

I bought a sheepadoodle last week but I’m sure the only adopt crowd will not like that

Well I’m out.

Really, this is a great idea

40 gallon is perfect for a syrian and paradise for a dwarf. Good job!

You do you

I bought my Boxer
I also help a local rescue, have volunteered at the local shelter & have 5 adopted animal siblings

Rescue people aren’t nearly as judgmental as everyone acts

Thank you. Yeah, they thrive in larger habitats no doubt.
Also I put about six inches of soft paper based bedding and the little sucker burrows all over

Any animal that finds a home is better off. I don't care how you get them.

(but I will say your sheepadoodle will be even happier if you adopt a sibling for them)

Interesting typo. I like to think you meant "wild".

Funny but true. Ironically enough, returned rodents have to go through a quarantine period before they can be resold. In most cases you're saving Petsmart/Petco type of places money if they just give it to you.

Somebody did their research. You want at least 4 inches of bedding.

Your hamster is living like a king.

Great job!!
