Little prankster Louis the Circus:
What names should you not choose for your pet?
The new family member should like the nickname. You can notice this by constantly calling the animal by name. If the hamster does not respond, this may indicate not only that the pet is naturally deaf, but also that he does not understand his name.
You should not name an animal using complex combinations.
Firstly, it will be difficult for the owner to constantly pronounce it, and soon he will get tired of the nickname. Secondly, rodents do not perceive complex nicknames because they cannot remember them.
Umka and Tisha respond to their names.
Cool and funny nicknames
