Those are truly adorable little hamsters, @CRM31 ! When my children were little, we always used to have hamsters, and we all enjoyed watching their little games and antics. They were great little pets, they seemed to enjoy being handled and carried around, and they were easy for children to care for; so to me, it seemed like they were almost the perfect pet.
The hamsters that we had were usually great escapists, and every now and then, one would escape, and then we all had to try and find the escapee. Sometimes, it took a day or so before we discovered them creeping about somewhere.
One time, an escaped hamster had made it down the stairs into the basement, and the way we found him was when I was cooking dinner, and he smelled the food and was hungry.
He was standing there at the bottom of the stairs, just sniffing the wonderful smells of dinner cooking, and seemed very happy that we had found him again and rescued him from the basement.
