I can keep you entertained for hours. Give me a wheel and I will run as I spin it. As the wheel is spinning and I am running, the waistline is getting thinner. That’s good news. It means I can stuff my face with more food. I think running and eating are my two favourite pastimes. So, if you think about it, I am a cute and cuddly, running, eating, entertainment machine. Only I am not really a machine. I am a hamster. A brown hamster. A brown hamster with little pink feet. Did I tell you that I think I am gorgeous?

Do you think I look chubby in this outfit? It’s difficult for me to see my feet but I know they are poking out below somewhere. I saw my reflection in the pond the other day and I have to tell you that I liked what I saw. Nice rounded cheeks, lovely rounded body. I would make a good cuddly pet, provided you give me the opportunity to eat as many seeds and vegies as possible. If you want me to hop in a wheel and spin, spin, spin, then keep the meals coming or I will get too thin, thin, thin!

There is a perfectly good reason why I am sitting. You see I can’t actually move. I ate and ate and now I have blown right up, almost like a balloon and my feet won’t touch the ground. I found a particularly good patch of seeds and filled my cheeks to the brim. Actually, I filled my tummy first and then carried the rest back in my cheeks for later on. But later on came quicker than I imagined and I just had to eat them there and then. He he, yes you can laugh, but right now I will just sit here and wait until my feet touch the ground again.
