Re: How intelligent are hamsters?
It depends on how you quantify intelligence. For instance, they learn quick - I've clicker trained my hammies to do everything from come when I call to running "obstacle" courses.
Humans have a bad habit of thinking that anything that doesn't communicate easily is stupid. Because, of course humans are paragons of intelligence and aren't swayed by instinct or emotional situations. ;p
