My friend, Hammie

We have a visitor at our house...his name is Hammie. He's a cute, little hamster. We've really had a good time with this little guy- he has so much personality. Now we've had gerbils before, but this guy is VERY different. For instance, he sleeps in the top of his cage and if we lift up the lid, he'll lift his head up and with one eye still closed, he will check us out, squinting to see who it is and what exactly we want. He LOVES his plastic ball to run around the house in....he can really move fast--we've been so impressed. Neither of our gerbils could get the hang of making the ball go. If you open the bottom of his cage, he will climb out into your hand...we get a kick out of the fact that his body is so long and he's so furry. A joy to have around....until next Monday, when his Mommy and Daddy come back from a 10 day cruise... poor things... Jill
