Questions
Q:  You said your hamsters were used for a Genetics Project, do you hurt them or kill them?

A: Oh Goodness, no!!  All my hamsters recieve lots of love and care!  I do work with their geneitcs, but not with needles or anything,  Their coat colors are mutations in themselves, so I dont need to see their blood to tell if they have the genes or not!!


Q: Will the hamster I adopted from you get mutations or deformities from your experiments?

A: Once again, no.  The only mutations I work with are the COLORS!!!  If you want a hamster without a mutation, it will be brown.  The normals are very cute also, but nor near as flashy as a black, blue, or chocolate hamster.  Deformities will occasionally show up in any hamstery.  To say otherwise would be a lie.  However, they are very rare here at HamsterDance and they are never adopted out.  If the mutations are going to affect the quality of life, we do the humane thing and put them to sleep peacefully.


Q:  Do you sell your hamsters for snake/cat/ect food?

A: That's an easy one... NO!!!


Q: Do you have any hamsters that flip backwards like the ones on TV?

A: NO.  This is a gene, not a characteristic.  Its presence shows bad breeding because a breeder with good knowledge of this would not use a hamster for breeding that has the flipping gene.  If you have one, it should be alright, just make sure not to breed him/her.  Although it may be cute and funny, it is a brain condition* and should not be taken lightly.





*From my limited knowledge of this gene, I have derrived it is a neural problem.  This is just my assumption and should be taken as such.
