Is it true that hamsters have an unusually high rate of cancer? Or is it just a myth? What are the most common ailments affecting them in older age?

Also, have you considered aiding Guinea pigs as well?

Thank you for your answer. That's interesting to know.

I have to say that I'm not very fond of hamsters but my family had them as pets. I was under the impression that most of them died of cancer or genetic-related afflictions which developed after 2 years or so. I wasn't sure if that was a common thing for hamsters or if the breeding pool is particularly small where I live and they're subsequently affected.

Oh, another quick question: who is your favourite Hamtaro character? :)

Thank you for taking the time to do this AMA. I realise that this question is rather personal but I was wondering how hard was it to maintain relationships with people outside of prison? Without being too specific: how did your incarceration impact them and how did they eventually get to terms with it?
