Tinsel, the Depression-Crushing Syrian Hamster With a Big ... Issue

Comments

Tinsel is a very cute hamster indeed.

"The sex of adult hamsters is easy to determine. Males have very large, prominent testicles. In fact, owners unaccustomed to seeing them are often astonished at these anatomic peculiarities."

I've seen male hammies with testicles big enough for them to sit back and use them as a sort of table for their dinner. Appetising!
