“I have the feeling that the tenor ‘it’s just a hamster’ still prevails. I wanted to get Jenny’s opinion as to why there are some people who don’t give hamsters the care and attention they require. More info: | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Redbubble | Patreon Artist Jenny-Jinya decided that it’s time that we talked about hamsters and how some owners neglect these tiny little rodents It was sad how resistant the person was to advice, and the counter-argument was really just ‘the staff at the pet store said the size was sufficient!'” “But the urge to draw a comic was reinforced when someone on Facebook got a hamster and proudly posted a photo of a cage that was way too small. She told Bored Panda that hamsters have been on her list for a long time. I had another lovely chat with Jenny about her newest comic. These comics always inspire us to have more empathy for all living things.
You will find our other recent articles about Jenny’s art here (lonely swan), here (tribute to shelter staff), and here (isolated orca). Just remember, dear Pandas, the topic might hit you hard: it’s all right to shed a tear because these little hamster fellows are worth every bit of love, just like bigger pets.
So doing at least some research before getting a pet, as well as being prepared to provide your pets with good living conditions and food are all a must. A lack of education and empathy can lead to hamsters suffering and having a shorter lifespan. Jenny points out that some owners neglect hamsters and similar small pets because they’re cheap to get.
