now that my son has his kittens, he has lot interest in his hampsters. He doesnt play with them anymore, or even look in their direction for that matter.

So the question is: what do I do with these things? I dont want to just let them die, but I dont feel like buying food/bedding/vitamins for the things anymore. Any input would be appreciated.

Call your local grade school and see if there is a class that would like to adopt them. Donate the works to them.

How long has he had the hamster? (no p in hamster BTW). If it's been a while just keep it for a bit, they have a pretty short life span, most will die inside 2 years.

Set them free, and then let the kittens learn to keep your home free of rodents.

Take them to a pet store. My brother had hampsters and they ended up having like 12 babies. We just took them all to the petstore.

I took mine to the local pet store in the mall. They gladly took them, wouldnt buy them though, then they turned around and sold them for $25 a piece.

But hey you get rid of them.

Or, let the male and female get together for the night, then give them to a friend that you really dont like to much as a gift. :) 2 weeks later, Wallah!! Meanist joke Ive done.

Do you have liquid nitrogen, a hammer & a digital camera?

You could become famous on the internet:D

It doesn't sound as if your son is ready for pet ownership if he doesn't take responsibility for the animals in his care.

Try to find them a good home.

Yeah, but the suggestion to freeze them with liquid nitrogen is pretty good too. ;)

ups

he is only six...

a good home where though????

wouldnt setting them free be mean? I live in Michigan, its pretty darn cold around here. I would hate to be walking outside with my son and see cici or sheila laying there frozen stiff.
