WD40 and hamsters

[AnnShh]

Amanda, ever since the last big 'incident' you've had while on here (where you said you weren't coming bac), every time you post something, you have a huge attitude about it. Anytime someone doesn't agree with you, or isn't all happy peppy with a sugar coated post, you come back with an attitude.

If you are going to come here and ask a question to which a) you claim you already know the answer to and b) the answer should be fairly obvious if you even looked at the can, then expect people to be a bit more harsh (though nobody was in this post, IMO). If the answer is so obvious, yet you still have to ask, it concerns people, and knowing your past history on here, people have reason to be concerned!

Nancy i was just asking i've never used WD40 so i wasn't sure you don't need to be a uptight about it it's a Q.

i didn't want to know if it was bad i knew it was bad my friends wanted me to ask i was just asking. don't bite my head off. on wonder i don't post that much on here anymore. ppl jump on me everytime i post.

Um, what?

well, I guess we're all in agreement with you that WD40 is bad to use around the hamster...

I have always just used regular ol' vegetable oil on my hamster wheels to stop the squeeking. Worked great and non toxic.

-vaguely remembers seeing cooking oil/pam spray/etc mentioned repeatedly in this thread, not just by Essentia-

Okay folks, the moral of the story here is: if you want to use something around your pet, but the container says it's harmful to them - DON'T USE IT.

And, if you already know the answer to a question, why ask it? It's almost as though some people enjoy the drama and negativity they solicit.
