They are. One of our dogs, as you can see, is a bit obsessed with them.
LoveTown said:I had a hamster named Ponyboy....heh yep I was and Outsiders fan....however my dad called him Herman...don't ask lol
he was a great little fella, he loved to be held and talked to. The only bad thing about hamsters is that they dont live long enough
LoveTown said:oh my gosh ewen I know what you mean! Ponyboy was fine when I filled up his food dishes and water in the morning and in the afternoon when I went to pet him he was all snuggled up in his bedding....but he didnt move! I was traumatized!

Ewen are you saying youre Scottish, spell your name the Scottish way, wear a kilt AND are a qualified engineer? Some people really are a walking parody of themselves.

you have to watch though, they do go into hibernation if it's too cold. When my brother and sister were younger their hamster went into hibernation....my mother, a nurse of all people, didn't want my brother and sister to get upset so she put the said hamster under a warm grill and ended up toasting the poor mite.
true story, i'm not saying it to be cruel. i only heard the story recently from my mother herself.
ewen said:
?? i'm very confused.
beli said:
Sorry. And some people make bad jokes ie me.
The standard joke in Australia is that all Scots are engineers.
See the funny I made?
What is the difference between a hamster and a guinea pig?
