No other animais ever became popular as fast as the golden hamsters. Twenty years ago tbey were uaknown. Today thous- -ands of people have tbemn for pets and 1 have one so, I am going to talk about him. His mane is Fluffy. We have had hlm for over a year'. They are only four to five inches long and weigb only four to five ounces. Wben they eat their food they put their food in their pouches. They eat carrots and coi-n and lettuce and we gave him tissues for bis bed. If you waat to hold bîm,- pick him up by bis loose skin at the back of bis neck and use the other hand to support it's body. He climbs on the top 'of bis cage and swings aci-oss it and when you take him out of bis cage and put hlm on thé floor Fluff y i-uns ail ovei- the place. Wben you put him on your back be climbs ahl over you. Qne night I forgot to put him in the cage and he was i-unning around the house for six bours. Wben we -got home my sister happeaed to look in his cage but he w&asn't there so ail of us looked ail ovni- the bouse but then my sistei- found him in the closet. That is ah I1 have to say about my hamster. Snow is light Snow is bright. Snow is twinkling in the night.
