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.

Signed. And another well done.
Having kept guinea pigs and rabbits previously. Some of the offerings for them is woeful.

Signed. Great job on organising this.

FeelinSpendy · 28/12/2021 12:24

Signed - absolutely agree with this.

HipposHaveNipples · 28/12/2021 12:27

Signed - this applies to guinea pigs and particularly rabbits as well, some of the cages marketed for them are shockingly small.
