Answers:
Ive got chip monks they are in a cage but they are awake all day and sleep at night and are great to handle.
what about a chinchilla if you want to go a bit more exotic they are very tame and easy to handle ,
if you don't want something in a cage what about a cat or kitten,they can wonder around all day and you don't have to worry about rushing home from work to let them out like you would a dog
how about a guinie pig, they live longer than hamsters
you could get a cat, if you dont likethem i think you will when you get one. my dad hated them, he used to throw water on them in the garden and chase them with the hose. then my sis got one and he was always holding her telling her how beautiful she is. they are quite indipendant but like to play also. go for it i say!!
ummm i dont think you have time for something not it a tank or cage its pretty much a form of cruelty just leaving a animal all by its self for up to seven hours so for you how about a pet rock
what about a cat
Cat/Kitten
I got one a litle while ago.
My family weren't too keen at first - now everyone loves her!
Bigger dogs normally can hold their bladder longer than small dogs. So, my suggestion is if your going to get a puppy you should take time off work and kennel train the dog- or, teach it to use puppy pads.
If you don't have the time and energy to devote to properly train a dog, I would get a different pet. Cats are VERY self-sufficient, and if you wanted to, you could let them outside (as long as they're completely updated on their shots and are wearing proper tags).
I would suggest a cat, but I'm a diehard dog person, so I think if you can't take care of them properly you shouldn't at all.
Perhaps a parrot?
What's amazing is that they AREN'T kept in a cage and they can talk!
But, yeah, maybe tie a chain from the stand to its leg, so maybe it won't ESCAPE!
Hmmm... but what about Bird Flu?
you could get a cat they kind of look after there self so all you would need to do while you were at work would be putting food and water out.

woah, how long ago did your hamster die?? Sorry, but it's not right if you rush back into another pet, it's pretty unfair.
Wait a while and think hard and long. You said that you work 7 hrs a day, and trust me, a puppy will get bored. Rescuing a dog from a animal shelter is the best idea. The dog will be over his/her puppy- crying-and-destroying when you leave the house. You will also be saving a life at the same time!
A cat will be more ideal in your situation though. As i said before, have a long, hard think about it.
How long ago did your hamster die? First of all...the choices you are considering are WAY different than a hamster. A cat is pretty much self-sufficient during the day while you work, but a dog, and/or parrot need much more attention. I wouldn't rush into anything. When you form a bond with an animal...you can't just "fill the void" with any other animal. Take some time...do research, and then decide what you should get.
Why not a cat?
They can be independant (while your out) and affectionate (while your in)
Battersea dogs home is a good place to get one as they suit the cat to what you can give, like an independant but loving one.
well as you have giunea pigs, why not get a rabbit or 2. if you want something a little bigger try a giant breed. remember rabbits do will as indoor bunnies as well as out!!
A rabbit.
Very sorry about your Hamster,
you could have a cute cat, they sleep most of the day.
I feel you should look into having another pet more closely, all animals need care and love and attention
You could ask a vet they will know what pet is best for you.,
