Ugh, I *hate* the stupid wheel.  She always seems to wait until the exact
moment I am drifting into blissful sleep to jump on the wheel and start 
running her nightly little hamster marathons.  I've tried to quiet the wheel
with vaseline but it still wakes me up.  Fortunately I think I'm finally 
getting used to it.

The thing I like best about her besides the cheek pouches are her furry little
feet.  I think they are the only type of hamsters that have furry feet.  And 
they are so tiny!  Smaller than my pinky nail.

Sounds like you named him perfectly to me! ;-D

I don't think it takes all that much to do that.
