Question
We are going away for 2 nights,  When we go away our hamster usually stays
with a friend but as we will be just away for 2 nights do you thing she will be
okay.  We will play with her before we go and make sure she has plenty of food
and water and a neighbour will see that she is okay.  What do you think

Answer
Hi Lorna,

You must make sure that she is left with plenty of water and food.

It is best if your neighbour looks in on her twice a day to make sure there is no problem with her getting to her food and water and make sure she hasnt hurt herself or escaped etc.

Can you not take her with you?

Kind Regards,

Tammy
