Brilliant. Phew.. (been laughing)

These things should come with an instruction manual tattooed on them. My hamster was named whitey.im pretty sure mom offed him while I was in school. May he and Spikey rest in peace.

Hamsters and gerbils may be made of glass. If they trip over their own paws, they die. They made both my daughters swear off rodent pets for life, which isn't necessarily a bad thing according to my wife.

My daughter has pet rats. They are practically indestructible. They love being tossed (gently but still...) and they are parkour experts. If you're willing to invest in a proper cage (2x4x6foot), at least two rats (they are very social), and lots of toys and activities for stimulation, you will have fun and lively pets.
