great. I always wanted them to run a light bulb or something. my kids as well. all that energy...
yeh, my plan for world domination is set up a gym that sells all the electricity generated from the members to the national grid :)
Nige - you had an office hamster?
Beth and Swamprose - well, don't use this one. He's very sleepy.
Maybe he's just nervous. I used to breed hamsters when I was about 13. It got a bit out of hand at one point when I decided to up my breeding rate by buying a second female who turned out to be pregnant when i bought her and had babies one the exact same day as the other female I had at the time. At that point I had around 30 hamsters in my room.
Hope he isn't such a talented escapologist as our was. Had fun and games chasing it all over the house and trying to coax it out from various hidey holes.
I once had about 70 mice. One day they disappeared and my mother said she had given them to 'a good home'. No wonder I turned out the way I did.
Aww. Hi Yo-Yo. He's probably just a bit angsty, he'll get used to things. At least he isn't Bruce! I could do with some mellow on that front.
He's incredibly cute and a good climber. I think you're right Caine. He is angsty and probably little nervous about it all though we have tried tobe gentle with him.
Beth - 30 hamsters sounds like a lot of fun. It must have made you a pretty dedicated girl. Did you sell the babies on?
SR - 70 mice? I had a few when I was a kid. My mum was phobic and so they went in the shed. One day, I went in to find the cage open and the mice gone. My parents explained that a cat had got them.
Yeah I sold them on.. they were such happy little hamsters, really placid and soft, people did phone back for more for their friends but I had a horrible moment with a lot of still born/miscarried babies and had to give it up because the trauma was too much.
Also, hamsters are omnivores. They enjoy salty foods, you can feed them chicken, eggs .. and ham!
