Question
very urgent i have a new hamster and i am afraid that he hold a virus or a dieseas that i can take it from him.so can hamster get me sick?

Answer
hi jomana,

its highly unlikely your hamster is going to make you sick. however you can make your hamster sick, dont go near him if you have a cold, as your hamster can catch it.

so dont worry, just look after your hamster propperly and the both of you will be just fine.

thank you for your question, and ask again if you need to.

joanne :)
