### 4/5 — Great app!

*2026-07-08*

I would say this is a great app (I wish I turned on notifications!) but the only reason I gave four stars not five is because there is too many ads. I would say put an ad timer thing in the corner for about a minute instead of every time you clean the cage.

### 4/5 — 好

*2026-07-05*

好玩，我的仓鼠叫水饺，但是有广告

### 4/5 — いいけど🤗

### 4/5 — I luv my cutie Johnny

*2026-05-25*

My cute hammy Johnny is such a luv. Would love if you can add skins man. You dig? Man. I’d luv if my hamster was dark colored with black eyes and with a puppy look to them. My real life hamster died at a year old when my dud accidentally set flame next to my hammy. Can you also add like toys for hammy?? Luv- Skylarz!!!

### 5/5 — Loving this so far

*2026-05-10*

Love this app so far and has so much potential!! I can't wait to see if there's any more to come for this.

### 4/5 — I love 🐹Maxwell but…..

*2026-04-02*

The game is really fun but there really needs more stuff for the hamster to play with like a wheel or toys.🐹I am going to get a hamster in real life and I am going to name the hamster Maxwell. Also in the game I named the hamster Maxwell to make it feel like I have 2 hamsters but it does not work out because there is no wheel or toys but overall the game is pretty good. You should get this game if you can’t have a hamster or if you just want to have fun!

### 5/5 — 그
