Today was finally his day and this sweet little guy came home with him.
I have to admit, I'm a little surprised by Bulls Eye... everyone has told me that hamsters bite and don't really make good pets, but this little guy is sweet as can be. We've had fun holding him and watching him run around in his ball. He also climbs up the side of his cage, to the top of his water bottle and jumps off! It's pretty funny! Kameron wants to introduce him to the guinea pigs, but I'm not so sure that's a good idea... LOL Poor Karson will think we've added another member of the family and might try to run away! ;o)
I know all the kids are going to enjoy our little house guest this weekend... and Monday I'll be happy for him to go back to being the class pet... I refuse to let animals outnumber kids around here! ;o)

Bulls Eye is totally adorable!!!! I have such a soft spot for hamsters (well, all 'vermin' as my mother says...). The full size ones actually rarely bite. It's the dwarf ones that bite like crazy--they totally have Little Man Syndrome. It's like they feel the need to compensate for their size.
We have two dwarf hamsters and they have never bitten anyone. I read that it depends how they are raised. We got our hamsters from a local pet store (not a chain) and they breed their own hamsters and make sure to handle them when they are young. Anyway, just thought I'd share. Have fun with Bullseye!
