@Nugent: My only interactions with her resulted in her screaming at me. She sounds possessed.

A hamster scream is hard to describe but it is scary (or would be scary if I wasn't a much bigger animal). They lean back and open up their jaws as wide as they can and just scream.

They are a bit like what Norwegian black metal singing would sound like a capella (sp?).

Also, as far as that pic is concerned it is really fucking hard to red eye a hamster. Their eyes look like black pools in most lighting conditions and it is impossible to see their pupils. I love it when my photos show ham red eye.

They are googly eyed little critters.
