This is one very close close-up! :) Don't they mind the camera's flash?

@Nishana Minhaz: They don't seem to notice the flash. Hamster eyes are very poor. There is a mutation that happens (you'll have to look it up) when breeding white (maybe albino) hams their offspring will be born eyeless. "Eyeless whites" I think is what they are called. From what I have read a hamster can function just fine blind. They get by on their noses and whiskers. In nature they would be tunnel dwellers anyway.
That looks good enough to eat. Her whiskers are so uniform. Amazing!!

@Eleftheria, 9 years old,: She was walking around on my bed and she stopped. I thought she started to groom but really she had some food hidden in one of her pouches. She stopped for a snack. The food is a hamster treat made out of carrots I think.
So cute! What a great pic!
