I am sure she's not hurting him, I think Gangsta's mostly fluff. I have held a "fluffball hamster" - didn't know there was a breed name for them back then, and was surprised at how little her body was under all that fuzz!

From Gangsta's owner's description, I know she is his special friend and loves him very much. We wouldn't have featured him if we thought he was being hurt in his picture.
