rodents rock *nuzzles her hamsters and gerbil*

You got THAT right.

(Geez, I hope the cats don't hear me... )

*is a cat, well tiger technically but still*

/me was referring to his calico house cats, who are occasionally jealous of the ratties' getting the attention that is rightfully due only to cats.

my hams and gerbil are my babies. my female roborovski hamster is in a hamster ball derby race on sturday. she's last years returning champ

Hamster ball derby race?

yup petco has them. they set up hamsterball tracks and people enter the race for free to try and win pet supplies. my ham is a record holder, she can hit 6 miles per hour

Egad, she's faster than I am...

her mate can only get up to 2.5 mph. he waddles cuz he has huge balls lol. plus he's old and chubby

Now that's quite a coincidence, as that's the exact same reason I'm so slow...

lol

Awwww, kawaii desu~

Yes, she is!

Dawww!

I just worry that you'll leave one of them out sometime and something will happen.
As a child I left my little mouse out in my bedroom while I went to the bathroom. Next thing I hear is my mother screaming - she'd stepped on him and he died.
Who the hell figured that she'd take that moment to go into my room!
That's why I make friends with "wild" animals and leave it at that.
No pets for me - ever.

Oh, they're never left out unsupervised. There's just too many ways a small, inquisitive animal with sharp teeth and bad eyesight can get into trouble in our house.

I'm sorry to hear about your mouse, though. Been through something of the kind myself, long ago, though all it did was make me extra cautious when small critters are at play...
