That was funny. Good thing I wasn’t drinking or I would be down a keyboard right now.

I used to raise hamsters. They are amazing creatures, but prefer their solitude rather than socializing in groups. Rats, on the other hand, tend to be more social animals and can develop depression if they are alone.

We had one of those plastic hamster-balls so the little guy could navigate the living room without undo attention from the Cat.
Long story short– those hamster-balls are not 100% cat-proof.

Fun video. I had no idea hamsters could store and transport that much food. And, I can understand, popular in a cave.

“Hey, you got s spit-free nut?”

“Sure!”
