Native to tropical regions, the Polynesian Coconut Hamster (domus testacea) adapts to its environment in a unique way.

Although it will occasionally venture from its protective shell…

It will quickly decide that was a bad idea and retreat to safety once again.

I feel like that waaaaaay too frequently since the election, hamster. I feel for you👍🏼
came to say the same thing!
Totally agree. Loving that fluffy butt in the last pic. And sometimes it’s not even the election that prompts my NOPE, NOPE, NOPE response. Like yesterday, spilled an entire cup of tea on my work desk (soaking my daily log book, arghhh!) and me. Walked around the rest of the day smelling like chai tea, lol.
Had lots of days like that before I retired! I was an elementary school teacher so…🤷♀️
I totally identify. I just wish I had, and could fit into, half a coconut shell.
Hamster wishes he could fit into half a shell too.
So I will trade him his coconut shell for an overturned plastic container, big enough to fit not only him but an entire ‘horde’ of hammies.
Do they come in human sizes?
I can make you one…
I’m 5’4″…
