What is it like owning a hamster? I'm a single person who loves alone and idk how I'd fair leaving something like a dog alone all day. Been curious about something simple like a hamster. Also, could they be left alone for a day or two like a cat if you have the right type of feeder/water setup?

We had mixed results with hamsters. Yes, they can be left alone for a while if you set their environment up right. The biggest problem with them is that they're nocturnal, so they want to sleep during the day and run around on their wheel and stuff all night. They only live two or three years.
