You know you're a hamster parent when ...

You can hardly wait for the sun to go down so she'll wake up and come out to play.
Your computer desktop, phone screen, etc. are pics of your hamster.
You type "hamster" in the search boxes on Twitter, Etsy, etc.
You carry a baggie in your purse so you can bring home bits of salads for you-know-who.

I'm going to have to do this from now on it's a great idea! I usually end up wrapping veggies from a restaurant meal in my napkin and popping that into my handbag, needless to say my bag stinks by the time we get home

You know you are a hamster parent

When you get more excited about stuff you buy for hamsters than you do about yourself
When you are always on the look out for hamsters to rescue in your local area
When you'll happily sit on the floor and get cramp just to watch them be cute.
When you join a forum to talk to other nuts about hamsters

Yip this is all me...it's getting embarrassing!

You know you are a hamster parent when...

You like going shopping, not for clothes but to look at all the possible hamster toys
You look forward to the summer holiday because there's more time to talk to mad hamster people
Designing new layouts for a hamster cage is a time consuming and really fun thing to do
Your clothes have chew marks where a certain fuzz decided they looked tasty

You know you're a hamster parent when...

... there's hamster food, bedding and substrate all over your bedroom floor
... you find random shells of sunflower seeds in suspicious places
... you're happy to spend more on the hams than you are on yourself
... one of your first plans when you get a job is to get another hamster

You know your a hamster parent when...

...you go to work with bits of substrate and bedding down your front, you get excited when your orders arrive through the post from pet suppliers online, you constantly plan cage upgrades, and on line forums are the only places where you feel understood, and there are hamster toys and food bits even in your car, and you can't wait for them to wake up to have a smooch!

You call your bedroom "Percy's room"
You want to buy a cage that you have no need for
You have the drawing skills of a kindergartener but you can draw a hamster
