On March 31st at 2 pm nearly all PETCO stores will be having this fun event. All you have to bring is your hamster and a hamster ball to race. There are fun prizes and everything! I was reading this cute news story about the event and they said that last year over 14,000 hamsters raced nation wide! Despite the negative posts on here, I think it's great that PETCO is holding an event just for Hamster lovers!</p> </div>

They seem pretty responsible to me.

Now two very happy gerbils have a very loving home! And my boyfriend has some company :)

Everybody wins!
