Now I know what a hamster is. It's a little rat-type thing only smaller and
cuter (though this doesn't seem to be the case for Rebecca). The thing I
don't get is why is this specifically called a "floor" hamster? Are there
many *flying* hamsters where you come from Rebecca? Are there so many
hamsters in different that you need to place them in categories in order to
differentiate between each species? Maybe some wall hamsters, ceiling
hamsters, toilet hamsters...?
