I guess you could relate it to an alligator. More like little Velociraptors(sp). But it's actually a desert lizard. They are pretty quick, but I take them out, and handle them pretty frequently (2-3 times a day), so they don't run away anymore. It's really cool to watch them hunt the crickets I feed them. 2 of them will heard the crickets to a side of the aquarium that the other two are hiding at, and then take turns. They eat mostly crickets and meal worms, but I feed them collard greens, and spinach with cheese grated in once or twice a week. They go for $50-80 depending where you find them.

sadie, is a black bear, a specialty hamster in some stores. she came from petsmart..i think they run $20 $25.. she has never bitten me..the drawf hamsters r the small cute ones. they r mean, the devil in fur..hamsters dont have that nasty long rodent tail..she is really quite cute.. tiny tail..

she is trainable. i have her sink trained to pee in there before i put her in the ball. she will bark to let me know she has to go..she has a potty in her cage that she uses.. they do poo alot but no smell and easy to throw out. she does most of hers in the big ball or wheel.. just put her in the sink and hit the sides of the ball into a garbage can and put her back in. soak the ball in dishsoap and water over night in the sink.. she is pretty easy to take care of..

they have to get acclimated to u. she would chew on her cage for hours at night. then she stopped. they like to make nests,hoard and store their food.. she had alot more energy in her 1st yr. now she has calmed down alot..she has gotten out of her cage a few times and my fault..i use white tape on all the entrances otherwise she can get out..i use food to find her and ive trained her to come when she hears me say' ive got u something' tap with my fingers, have a small stash of food and that usually gets her out of her hiding places. she got behind the fridge and behind the baseboard of a lower cabinet in the bathroom and kitchen..i have animal allergies too. i had a slight reaction to her but its gone now..
