I forgot about her, only asked if I could bring the gerbil.
We did actually used to have hamsters (close relatives of the gerbils). Well, my wife had hamsters, I never claimed any ownership of them. Both of us had really nasty bites from them. They are actually pretty vicious creatures when they want to be. Would never recommend rodents to anyone! Other than rats, rats, ironically are quite sweet and affectionate to people (if they grow up as babies with them)... which is funny since rats get the bad rep in the rodent-world... but Hamsters are the real assholes.
