hamsters are cooler than mice. it's fun to hand them seeds and watch them stuff their pouches. Face luggage.

They are sweet little goofballs.

I've had pet mice, they're pretty neat too - the less timid ones can actually be trained to do tricks and some of them were trained to go back to their cage if they had to pee while out. They're smarter than people give them credit for, they're as smart as the dumbest rats they're just a lot smaller so they're more afraid of things.

Whereas the hamsters my friends had when I was a kid were basically all bitey assholes, but they were definitely poorly socialized.

I had hamsters and gerbils, my hamsters weren't bitey. I guess we socialized them better, they just liked walking from hand to hand.

Seems the meme isn't displaying properly on my end.

Edit: now that it's displaying properly, lmao. Cute hamster!

It's there in the backend, but it isn't showing up on lemmy-ui. Edit: It isn't set as the URL.
