1. Why are hamsters not a good choice of pet for children? Hamsters are a popular pet, they are cute and fairly easy to look after. Parents buy hamsters for their children without realizing the risks involved. If a child has allergies, just being around a hamster can irritate that. They can not only bite but can also transmit diseases. A child does not understand how to hold a hamster correctly and it only takes a little tighter hold than the hamster likes and the animal will bite. 2. What is wet
Erika, Amber, and I received our hamster at the end of October, which we named Peaches. He is curious, chubby, and docile Syrian hamster. In the first two weeks of Peaches arrival, we the students learned about the responsibility of taking care of a pet.

Children Plus Pets Equals Happiness Henry David Thoreau once said, “It often happens that a man is more humanely related to a cat or dog than to any human being.” By saying this, Thoreau made it clear that animals and humans go well together. He observed and noted that human animal relationships are strong and are sometimes better than the relationships people form with each other. These strong human animal relationships tend to have a positive effect for people in several aspects. In fact, in
The Russian Dwarf Hamster is a term that always refers to a number of different types along with the Winter White colored Russian Dwarf hamster, Campbell’s Russian Dwarf hamster, and Roborovski’s Dwarf hamster.

placed hamsters in cages with older, larger, more aggressive hamsters and monitored the behavior. The larger hamsters would constantly chase and attack the test hamster. The test hamsters would not fight back and would eventually become very submissive every time they were placed in cages that contained hamsters of equal or larger size. If those submissive test hamsters were placed in cages with smaller hamsters, the test hamster would become instantly aggressive and attack the smaller hamster. Upon
Advertisements broadcasted on TV everyday, is there one of them effectively persuades the audience to put the product on their shopping list? What successful elements of advertisement make it memorable? The car’s advertisements of Ford Fiesta ” This is now ”and Kia Soul’s ”New way to roll” are good examples.

we live in a survival of the fittest world. Son goes on vacation for a few days with expectancy of coming home to his hamsters just like he left them. However, He comes home to the realization that one hamster had eaten the other hamster. Coming home to this he realizes that the hamsters are not as cute and fluffy on the inside as they are on the outside. Son realized that hamsters have an instinct to survive and can be ruthless (by using cannibalism in this instance) as one of their methods of surviving

Animal studies play a major role in understanding human behaviour as it provides an insight into human behaviour. Although, such studies raise multiple ethical considerations. In any research study conducted, benefits versus risks must be considered and if the benefits are not great then the risk is usually unjustified. The two ethical considerations that will be focused on in this essay are the irreversible damage and invasive procedures used on the animals and the stress induced on them during

If I were going to be giving an in-home animal welfare audit on the following animals: large and small dog, 3 cats, 2 hamsters, and a goldfish, I would first start off my audit by examining the home and the surroundings of the animals. This would be my first and most obvious observation that would give me a great deal of insight as to if this is going to be a good or a bad audit. I would look at the condition of the floors, the walls, stairs, cabinets, doors, and the overall infrastructure. If there
