Reply to comment by Miserable-Chair-7004 in PsBattle: a resting rodent by this_one_in_boots

Can we stop calling it a 'rodent'...? It's a hamster, a dwarf Russian hamster. Campbell's Dwarf Hamster known as a species of Russian hamster, even though the first specimen was found in Mongolia.

I mean it is a rodent, obviously, but I'm just surprised that more people don't know what a dwarf hamster looks like, they're not unusual as pets.

I upvoted you because I weirdly agree? Why are we going out of our way to be reductive about a damn hamster? Just call it what it is, I know y’all have seen the most common pet hamster breed on the planet, I know you’ve been to a Petco.
