Booger is a very dusty hamster.

Posted by Ned (Toronto, Canada) on 25 November 2006 in Animal & Insect.

Booger is covered in rodent dust. He also tasted the dust. He wasn't too clear on if he liked the taste or not, but he kept doing it and then looking confused afterwards, like he was expecting something out of it that would be better then a mouthful of dust.

It occurs to me now, a week after this picture was taken, that if Booger were so inclined (and if anatomy allowed this sort of thing) he could probably fill his cheek-pouches with dust and spit it out in little clouds at things which make him enraged. Sort of like octopus ink.
