I want me some Dwarf hamsters!

Today I thought of how fun it would be to have a dwarf hamster, or actually a couple of dwarf hamsters.

I had one when I was about 10 years old, her name was ”Mimmi”. She was suupercute, unfortunately I wasnt responsible enough to take care of her as well as I should have :(. 10 year olds should not be in charge of tiny lives!

If I bought one now I would definately buy a little tribe of them so they have their own little family, Mimmi was alone. I’d make sure they had a big home too, and some typ of fence or big box that I could lay out on the floor so they could play outside of their cage sometimes.

The only thing making me hesitate is that I’d like to know that I could atleast communicate with them somehow. I mean, dogs are easy to understand, they have so obvious expressions and they show you alot of love but I just cant remember how my Mimmi was.
I know my doggie Lula loves me and I love her alot too, it would feel very shallow to buy an animal you cant even communicate with just because they are cute :/
I must investigate! I have a friend who has some dwarf hamsters. I’ll ask him how the relationship with his hamsters are :D.

Btw, I read that they only live to about 1½ – 3 years wich is a plus! I mean, its easier to commit to a little animal that only lives 3 years compared to a dog that might live up to 15 years. I could give them 3 great years without ever getting tired of them! Sounds perfect to me.

I always thought it was my fault Mimmi died so young but i guess it was just her time to go. <3
