So Lizziey got two new hamsters.

Male and female.

When I mentioned this, she said she'll just bring the babies back to the store, that the salesperson told her to do this.

Hamsters eat their babies, don't they? And are terribly unsocial, right?

Yeah, this is gonna end well.

In a way, it's kind of nice to know that my hamsters weren't vicious freaks of nature. They never ate their babies but the last couple did eventually kill each other off. That bit about human contact softening their innate violence is enlightening, though - I think this was after several generations and years of hamsters and we probably did not give them as much attention as we had the first ones.

We always gave the baby hamsters to the pet store, too. Actually, I think we sold them. I doubt we got much for them, but still.
