At the same time the Dormice were dropped off, there were 2 male female pairs of Mouselike Hamsters dropped off too! these are not actually hamsters, they were originally thought to be hamsters due to the positioning of the molars. they are often refered to as the missing link between hamsters and mice!
erm as pets huh? well not very good at all, they are extremely FAST and whizz around everywhere, when you go to pick them up they seem to teleport to the other side of the tank. however i am hoping any pups they produce will be better as i will be able to handle them from a young age.
i suppose they do look a little bit like chinese, although all of my chinese hams are much tamer than them LOL
They are amazing to watch though, they are very active! i could sit for hours watching them.
