My parents wont let me get a robo hamster because they smell.

Question

i told them that robo hamsters don't smell as much. i even said i would clean it myself every week. they said no because my uncle had one and they said it smelled. i told them its because he didnt take care of them. And i really love hamsters. expecially robo's because i love there color and they are so cute and tiny. i am in love with them :)

WHAT SHOULD I DO. they wont let me.

Answer 1

I personally have a robo hamster and they do not smell as much as I thought they would. What I do is use this to hang outside it's cage: http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.js... and clean its cage once a week. But you may clean it when you start to smell a strong odor when you're near the cage. And don't forget to open a window at least 20 minutes a day. I hope you get your robo, they're very cute!

Answer 2

If you clean the cage once a week, it'll really be O.K., because all the real smell is from their waste on the bedding. Robo hamsters really don't smell that much, compared to all the other hamsters out there.

What should you do? Show them this topic.

Answer 3

tell them your uncle probably didn't have the right cage for ventilation which made it smell more or he probably didn't take care of it correctly. ((if there's space)) tell them you can keep it in your room so they don't have to smell it. good luck!

Answer 5

Well, I highly doubt that such a small hamster (smallest domestic hamster in fact) could create such a bad stink. Go to the pet store and show them the Robo Hamsters, which sometimes are free to hold and handle. I've held some before over a cage and it didn't really smell at all. The only way I can imagine a 'big stink' is if you get a lot of them.
