Thanks for saying those nice things.

We've now gotten to the point where I stroke her three times with a finger as she's getting her food from my other hand.

This is probably one of the slowest courtships ever of a hamster's trust but it's very satisfying. She was so scared when I brought her here that she hid for 2 or 3 days.

I have my gerbils to play with physically. When I get them out of their tank they climb all over me. They're kind of like the opposite of a Chinese hamster, I think.
