Question
Hi Joanne.
I'm getting a new hamster at the weekend and i can't decide a name.I know it's a good idea to choose a name after you get your hamster as it's easier, but i want to have a name chosen before - hand and if it does't suit my new hamster, I'll chose a new name. Out of these names which do you think sounds best: Candy, Snowflake, Bubbles, Cookie or Angel. Thanks VERY much, bye!!   xxx

Answer
Hi Katie,

Here's a little fact for you:

if repeated enough to the hamster, when giving treats, being let out and training, a hamster will eventually recognize its name and come to the cage when you say it :)

My favourites out of the ones you've chosen are Cookie and Bubbles.

if you copy and paste this link into your address bar at the top and press enter, you'll find a WHOLE list of names you can use if the ones you've chosen don't suit the hamster:

Best of luck and thank you for your questions, if you have anymore queries when you get your new hamster, feel free to ask :)
