My first pet was a white dwarf hamster. I was about 8 years old. I would constantly bother my father for a pet and he finally agreed on letting me have a hamster. He bought me a book about hamsters and had me read it before he would allow me to have one. I read that book as fast as I could lol. I remember the day we went to the pet shop and I laid eyes on her. I named her Fluffy before we even took her home. They put her in a little box to transport her home and I kept peeking inside on the drive home. She was scratching and trying to escape. When we got home I put her into the cage we bought for her. It had so many tubes that she could play in and explore. She loved it. I eventually got many more hamsters after that, they are fun pets to own.
