IF: Fast

No matter how long or how fast they run, my hamster(s) won't get far each night. They run all night long, a scientific experiment showed that they can run up to 8 km. per night!
I once had a hamster who would run fast for a short time, than climb out of its wheel and check if he had moved. Then get back in the wheel and run some more - check again - and so on... all night long... poor thing - never got anywhere.

  10. That's a great story, Brigitte! I love his fur, flying in the wind!
    My nephew once had a Hamster, Trixie, that was always creating new ways to escape: he would pile things to climb to the top of the cage and actually move the door! :-)

  15. Oh! I almost forgot. You asked if my drawing was watercolor. It's just pencilwork that was digitally colored with Illustrator. I hope to learn watercolor soon, though. I love the look of it. Thanks for your sweet comment. :)
