How can I hothouse my G&T hamster?

[SpeedyGonzalez]

Today she greeted me in French then proceeded to serve me a breakfast of coffee and croissants - the croissants were warmed! (I kid you not). After our meal she loaded the dishwasher, ran me a bubble bath and laid out my outfit for the day. She truly is amazing - all the items of clothing complemented each other brilliantly, she just knows my style.

She then drove me into work and did the shopping while I was at my desk, and I came home to a clean, tidy house with dinner in the oven - roast chicken and vegetables! She even made her own gravy and then put the cat out so we could eat in peace.

I think it's brilliant (mum of a musically 'gifted' Ds). Does make me regret how I didn't spend enough time sufficiently developing my hamster's many talents. He could have been an Olympic shot putter. He used to practise by throwing his poo out of his cage. I was amazed at how far he threw it. If only I'd known what he was trying to show me....

Do you breed from any of your G&T hamsters? If so how much do the offspring go for? I have never had a hamster. Our gerbils were quite thick tbh.

my gerbil has been reading this thread and has written me a strongly worded letter complaining about how negligent i have been in recognising her latent ability

My DD is now moaning that neither her hamster or her guinea pigs show any signs of being this gifted.

BeerTricks - I believe dogs such a Spaniels are most likely to be gifted, however it's often overlooked because they hide their abilities with classic 'class clown' antics.

Also cats (Siamese in particular) can also be extremely gifted but, tragically, this can be perceived as 'aloofness'.

Shame, but hopefully this threat will help to raise awareness of animal giftedness.

Squidgy12 - have you ever considered it was because 'fetch' is such a simple concept that was so beneath her she simply couldn't see the point in doing it?

My chocolate labrador is thick and stupid but she ate the hamster so maybe she has a talent that no one yet recognizes.

My 'g and t' cat would like to know if your hamster is located in the London area as he is desperately in need of a fourth string for his quartet.

Gosh I never thought about that a non-fetching dog might actually be rather intelligent. Whenever I throw balls or sticks for my mum's Yorkie she (dog not mum) just stands there looking back and forth from the stick to me with what can only be described as a look of pity on her face.
