Message: <blockquote data-quote="timc" data-source="post: 170607" data-attributes="member: 4054">My spiders lived in the same room as my girlfriend’s hamster for about a month and I never noticed any abnormal behavior, and we had just moved so the hamster was a little stressed and probably scented a little more than usual. The tarantulas were also adjusting to the new homestead (different natural lighting, ambient humidity and things) and never seemed more stressed than I would have expected. Once again this was only about a month so longer term cohabitation might lead to different reactions, but as far as I  could tell the smell, and there was some smell, didn’t disturb anyone. Good luck. Hamsters are great pets and I hope you enjoy yours.</blockquote>
