Human chosen by hamster
Has anyone else had the experience where a hamster chose you as their companion?
I went into a petshop once to buy sand or food but felt myself drawn to a display tank. The effect was almost magnetic. I put my hand in and promptly got bitten but one little hamster climbed onto my hand and sat there so I took her home. The little girl wasn't afraid of me and the bond was immediate. She started her life by sitting on my hand and she ended it by dying on the very same hand. I love all our hamsters but there was something magical about Edwina.
