How do you get over the guilt of accidentally killing your hamster?

Unfortunately guilt is not something that just goes away, you will just have to learn how to live with it. It has been 40 years since I was making circles in my driveway on my bicycle with our dog cocoa beside me, I still remember vividly how I made one circle too close to the highway and cocoa was run over by a passing car. He was just being a good friend and I killed him by not being careful. The memory will always be there but the pain will fade in time and hopefully as with me you will have learned the lesson your pet died to teach you.

How do you convince someone you can take care of a hamster?

Well if the person you are trying to convince is you parent, show responsibility for other things i.e. keeping your room clean, doing what you are asked to do, and such.

Can you tell the difference in male and female feet?

I'm not a medical or science professional but I have read of some important differences. - The female foot is generally shorter and smaller in all measurable proportions to that of a male. As with most things human their exists a range where attributes overlap between the sexes: a small number of men will have more female like feet and a small number women will have more masculine like feet. - Female skin/flesh is different to males and this of course is reflected in the feet just as it is on all areas of the body. This is largely the product of hormones: Estrogen in females and testosterone in males. Female skin is generally thinner though the layers below the surface have a higher fat content. Females have less body hair and the hair is finer. Hence the follicles from which hair grows are smaller and less prominont. This gives the skin a smoother look and texture all over.

- The average male has denser muscle mass (some 20-30% difference). Females do not generally develop as large or as dense bones as males, so in feet we see the same proportionate differences. those in the appendages are generally proportionately shorter. Men were designed as hunters and women to bare children. Nature had its intentions. Men have more leverage from their appendage dimensions and this includes the foot. For instance female athletes might train and develop dense muscle however they will rarely achieve a compatible density when compared to a male undertaking the same training. Many notion of "equality" of the sexes are often and simply impossible. - There is less cartilage between the bones of the female foot and this contributes to the ratios.

- Female muscles are generally more flexible and this coupled with factor of cartilage etc makes the female foot more flexible. Most emales can bend their feet some 45 degrees further than most males manifesting the straight line from leg to foot one might see in a ballet dancer (en-point) or when a women wears high heeled footware. Beyond these general attributes ..as I understand them .. humankind is highly varied and we see wide feet/narrow feet, high-arches/flat footed, long-toes/short-toes, arched toe-nails/flat toe-nails etc in both men and women.

What is wrong if your hamster is acting strangely?

Your hamster could be acting 'odd' if it doesn't have enough outside of the cage time (in an exercise ball and/or even a hamster pen), or maybe for a medical reason. If a hamsters cage isn't cleaned properly it is very very very easy for them to get a disease called "wet tail". The name of the disease basically says it all. They have antibiotics in any pet stores and I even saw them in some Wal Marts. Your hamster could also possibly be dehydrated. Hamsters drink a lot of water. Kind of like humans - if humans don't drink enough water they become dehydrated and can get very ill.
