The trouble with you kids these days, you don’t know how good you have it. Exercise wheel? Ah, that would have been a luxury in my day. Back then, your mother and I got our cardio by running up a cardboard box! Uphill! Both ways!

Two hamsters run on a cardboard box that has been cut to create an incline.

It’s Tocktober!

If it’s a bad day, or even a bad week,
There is some comfort you can seek.
To gaze upon a fluffy cheek
Will cheer you up when you feel bleak.

the back end of an alpaca, showing its fluffy light brown tail
And now for something completely different: A llama with three buttocks.

The humble buttock, you will find
Is Nature’s method to remind
Us all to relax and unwind
And never mind if we fall behind.

a dark grey rabbit reclines on its belly with its tail toward you
75% floof, 25% ‘tocks.

And soon, thanks to this tiny twerker
You’re feeling calm and less berzerker.
Just why do ‘tocks make us feel perkier?
Don’t ask me why; I only work ‘ere.

a hand holds a dark grey hamster with its tail facing you.
No need to point out the tail, it points for itself.

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

Time to see what’s going on in the world…

Although it will occasionally venture from its protective shell…

Hamster emerges from coconut shell
I mean, how bad could it be?

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

Hamster is now completely inside coconut shell so that only its tail is visible.
