Question
hi, Im going on vacation for one week and i have no one to take care of my hamster will it be ok??? and how can i make the hamster welll...not die while im gone!!! help
thanks

Answer
Hi Andrew,

Your hamster will absolutely *need* someone to take care of it while you're gone.  You can't leave it alone for a week.  Perhaps a friend, neighbor, or relative will help you?  All they'll need to do is give it fresh food and water each day (which doesn't take long or require much effort).  

I hope you can find someone to take care of your hamster!

Have a great weekend!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
