Are you supposed to be scared of hamsters?

Answer 1

It is possible to be afraid of anything and everything. For instance, some people are afraid of heights. Others are afraid of mice, or Spiders, or flying, or elevators. Even something that seems completely harmless to most people can be scary to others. A good example is the fear of clowns. To most people, clowns are funny, silly, and entertaining. But some people are terrified of them. A fear like this often has to do with a traumatic event: a person who is scared of clowns may have been frightened by a clown when they were a child, or watched a movie with scary, threatening clowns in it. Hamsters are generally considered cute and cuddly rather than something to be afraid of. But if someone experienced a traumatic event involving hamsters, he or she may well be afraid of them. For instance, hamsters do bite sometimes, so a young child bitten by a hamster could grown into an adult who is afraid of hamsters.
