I guess it's really bad that I was excited to see that people were finally using chinchilla fur for clothing abroad... My "uncle" is a Chilean chinchilla farmer... they're sooooo~ soft... | ||

Or it might be kind of sad. I think it's pretty cool though. On the contrary, Hamsters have a much better work ethic than humans. They also like rap music. It's all gonna be in my book. | ||

Instead, in my last year of high school, I tried to build a robotic hamster ball. It was designed to work using a weighted arm mounted inside the ball that would rotate with a motor, so that the ball would fall over the weight. It never really worked like I would have liked it to, but the idea was kinda solid. Maybe I will revive this project in my spare time, would make a decent blog too. Also hamsters are awesome epic cute. | ||

Far as I can tell, they only cannibalise the dead - which makes sense to do in a nutrient poor environment like a desert. For the social species of hamster that can lead to traumatising scenes for a child owner if they don't notice a dead one quickly enough, and it should never be an issue for the anti-social ones because you should keep them apart except while mating. (The anti-social ones could potentially kill another hamster that's put in its cage then eat it but the two actions would not be linked. The killing would be to clear the personal space bubble and the eating would be because "Well there's this protein rich lump of fur in my cage and it doesn't seem to be alive, might as well eat it.") Generally herbivores, occasional insectivores and opportunistic cannibals is the best descriptor I can think of for hamster diets. Chickens are still tamed raptors who should not be trusted though. | ||

Roborovskis and Campbells are both quite affectionate where fully tamed. My Roborovskis needed to be played with at least a couple of times a day otherwise they'd get quite distressed. My cat deals with loneliness much better - she's fine so long as she gets food and water. | ||
