they are a bit pointless too, surely
there is a reason they are extinct in the wild!

Are they extinct in the wild?
I love hamsters.

Oh man no, they're hilarious
You can train them.
And they don't smell, like other rodents.

maybe it was the one we had when i was a student
it was a right little bastard! in particular you did NOT want to sit near it, it would aim itself so that its piss shot out of the bars of the cage...

I had one who used to do a handstand followed by a gentle piss out of her cage
She just didn't like mess.
She was so prissy and girly, yet she had messy fur and was the size of a fucking guinea pig. We had to widen the window of her little house because her arse kept getting stuck.
I nicknamed her Britney, but she was called Holly. She used to go for naps up my sleeve.

does handstands to pee?!

She didn't do it all the time, and she always aimed it perfectly out of the same corner so it didn't spill onto the carpet.
Another time she caught a corner of our sofa throw and tried to stuff it all in her pouches for bedding. I wonder if she'd have got the whole sofa in there if we'd not found her.
She was so cute and friendly and pretty that I'd have forgiven her anything.

Just for a cute joke, I wrapped up a present for one hamster at christmas
and put it in a baby sock. He could obviously smell it was a chewy stick and tried to pull it in and open it, it was proper bless

Yes they don't bring much to the table
Small, slow, harmless and probably tasty...

certainly the ones I had didn't really have 'street smarts'
or any smarts really. They are very sweetly dumb
