I have 5 dwarf hammies, (i do not breed), and i went to petco one day to get a new water bottle, and they had a "Hamster Ball Derby" I thought awwww, i want to enter my hammie. I went online, and petco's ALL around the COUNTRY are hosting the Derby, where there is a little track, and a hamster ball is placed on the track. At MSN Hamster groups, people are saying that their hamster was in that derby and that they have wet-tail from the commotion, they take the sick hamsters from the back and race them, so one lady said she swears her hamster has mites, he has been scratching ever since she left that derby! This is outragous! if you are going to own a petshop, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THE ANIMALS. Hamsters shouldn't have mites and 'be in the back' ANYWAY! I am glad that i didn't enter my hamster, but to you approve of this? i do not think it is humane! putting an innocent hamster on a track and there's screaming, yelling, cheering, and the poor hamster doesn't know what to do!!
