Hammy!

Here's Hammy- our friendly hamster, whom we inherited from friends leaving Korea, and whom they inherited from a student, who brought it to school in a plastic bag... "Teacher... hamster???".

I guess I've always been partial to animals that I can't accidentally kill by stepping on, but this guy is pretty cute. He's also pretty skilled at acrobatics, but unfortunately he's camera shy, so I have yet to get video footage of him in his natural habitat, monkey-barring across the cage.
