LOL-ing @ Pope-mobile!!

Did that hamster really just BACK UP THE CAR in order to get off the carpet??

Sir Hamlet Peanut loooovees his ball and his predecessor Gus did also. I think they’d rather roll around in a ball for a while than stay cooped up in a cage all the time. Gotta nuff a little about the car though-looks like it would be frustrating for the ham to not be able to see or turn properly.

I thought this video was cute because it reminded me of my old hamster.

Although, I will have to agree with the comments. Bella liked her ball but did not like her pink car. I believe she was put in it this one time for photos and never put in it again.

It really is a car powered by hamsters!

Count me in on the hammies-love-balls train! My hammie ASKS to come out and VOLUNTARILY enters her ball. Some evenings she doesn’t want to and nobody makes her. But she LOVES her ball. And she follows the cat around when she’s in it… she’s hardly confused or anxious. I don’t think anybody who’s ever spent serious time watching a hammie in her ball could think that.

Of course there should be a time limit and you must be safe blah blah, but the balls themselves are great hammie fun!

On the OTHER hand, as cute as this vid is, I am not a fan of the cars (or the Barbie horse-drawn chariot one). We bought one (and the racetrack!) for my last ham and she thought they sucked, because she couldn’t steer and couldn’t really see that well. Now THAT was an anxious, unhappy ham. We returned both the next day and went back to the steerable balls! Paws up!

Would that be the Vatican, Ray?

Ray-I’ll save you a seat in one of the higher circles…I thought the same thing. A clear white one would be worse. No miter, though, that’s one distinction….unless we get the hammie a, oh what were those hats we were working on? Sarcasm hats? OH, dear and it isn’t even my religion, I’m going a level down farther than you, Ray. I’ll look up once in a while and wave!

I hate to admit it, but after seeing hammie in his cool little car, an image of the Pope-mobile flashed into my mind. Yep, I know where I’m going.
