Yeah not fond of them myself, i dont mind the hamsters they dont bother me
much, kids put them in running balls and they will trip me from time to time
but i deal with it. The one likes to chase me if he sees me walking in the
kitchen.

I know this is so off topic, but it reminded me of the last Hammy we
had.
He was the sweetest thing too. Would perch on my shoulder hanging out.
He always had his daily exercise time in his run about ball. Well I
quickly found out one day that our Rottie got the notion to *play ball*
with him. = O
She took her nose and gave him a whirl he'd never forget. Poor thing
was ok, but very dizzy. This was all in a few seconds before I went
running across the kitchen to save the poor little dude. I don't know
what made the dog decide to do this, as she had never done anything
like that before.
Needless to say, after that I blocked off the kitchen when the hammie
had run about time. I'm sure he did not want to go on that ride again!
