thx for all the kind comments - that's right across central europe they have become quite rare but where i live there still exists a population !!
Klasse :D Bei uns soll's sie auch geben, ich habe aber noch nie einen gesehen.
Ok, I'll think about that when the moment come ;D crazy indeed, can't believe a fox could be threatened by a poor hamster omg! ;D
;) if you ever see one - better don't get to Close - they are are small but have a heart like a Lion, they usually attack larger predators, even foxes think twice before trying their luck with These Little guys ;)
yeah probably, well they are similar though, I didn't know this was oversize :D ha ha ha, it's true, the one I saw hasn't got the black belly ;)
yes These are wild ones, they are about 20-30 cm
you're sure you see this one ? that isn't a golden hamster, which is about half the size...
this really lives in the wild? I have only seen them as pets never in wild ;)
