I remember one lady looking at hamsters to replace her child's deceased one. She pointed out a very pretty darker looking one...and I told her that it actually went after me earlier that day. She ended up purchasing the hamster. Two days later, it was back in the quarantine room....
Oh yeah I hear you there. When I worked at PetCo I don't think we had ANY friendly hampsters unless they were ones brought in by customers and returned because they were pregnant or whatever, and the babies would be handled by humans from such a young age they were a lot more friendlier than ones that came in on trucks and such.
