Answer 1

I've had some hamsters. And they can handle a range of temperatures inside the house, its outside the house they can't handle because my dad put it out in 98 degree weather for a few hours. so as long as your room stays around room temperature and doesnt get to summer temperatures, then it will be ok.

She may just be afraid you won't be responsible taking care of it and she will end up taking care of it. Prove to her you are responsible enough for a pet. AND It might help to do more of your own personal research  on the internet or get a hamster care book. They will have more detailed information than you can get on here. But good luck, hope you get to get your hamster! : )

Answer 4

some hamsters are like that, but others aren't.  if you want a hamster in a room like that, i would get a teddy bear hamster.  if you get a hamster, do not get a dwarf!! they CAN NOT live in a room with temps changeing all the time.
