Question
I realize that you specialize in guinea pigs, but i couldn't find anything closer to hamsters on all experts. If you are unable to answer my question, i'll understand. I am about to buy a hamster. It would live in my room. It is very small, but i've heard that they are very smelly. As my room is guite small(I am 14-year years old) I need to know if it will be a problem) Thanks

Answer
Hi Val

There is a hamster expert somewhere on the site, but you are in luck, I have a hamster also.

Hamsters aren't really smelly at all. Just make sure you clean the cage out once a week and remove and wet bits each night and you will be fine.
