Q: Can hamsters be trained to do tricks?

Q: Do hamsters make good companions for introverts?

Hamsters are perfect for introverts! They're quiet, won't judge you, and will only wake you up for food and attention. Just don't try to talk to them, they're not exactly conversationalists.

Q: Can hamsters be taken on the go?

No, hamsters are not exactly portable. Don't try to take them to the movies, or to the beach, or to the library. They have specific hamster-sized needs, and a cage is not a carry-on.
