Expenses - keeping a pet ham is expensive, but unlike most pets, a pet ham can be trained to work outside the home for a few hours each day. It may even bring in enough money to offset its expenses. Do not be alarmed if it practices them for hours at a time in its nest room. Health Problems - the pet ham typically suffers lower back pain and minor throat irritation from too much sitting and speaking, but health maintenance costs tend to be minimal. Travel - your pet ham will gladly travel with your family by car or even by air, if allowed to bring along certain familiar items from the nest room.
Most pet hams enjoy trips to places where they can meet pet hams from other families.
Breeding - if you plan to breed your pet ham, you should do so as soon as possible after you get it. As a pet ham matures, it becomes increasingly reluctant to engage in activities not associated with its nest room collection.
