We took in a dobo hamster and my 12 year old absolutely loves him.
My son is autistic and selective mute and suffers from terrible anxiety, I have posted about the struggle it is sometimes. Anyway it has been so great to see him with the hamster. Talking to me about their needs looking after him and he has started talking to his hamster asking him “what do you want” and “what are you up too’ etc etc.
In the short time we have had him he has brought my son so much joy!
My son likes his research and has been researching how to look after D properly and has got a bit miffed that the cages sold in pet shops for small animals mostly are too small.
So he signed this petition and got the rest of the family to sign it.
He asked how can we get a few more signatures I told him I would try.
So please if you can sign , it will make him so happy to see that he managed to get a few more people to sign.

Your son is absolutely right, and I’m happy to have signed. I hope the petition succeeds.

Also, that is one cute fluffy hamster you have there!

Signed, pets at home cages (and advice) is woeful. My hammys live in converted IKEA shelving units!

Signed.

My autistic son tells me he loves me by pretending to be the dog talking. It makes me all sniffly.

Well done OP's DS!
