Seven million six hundred and ninety two thousand and twenty four square kilometeres of Australia and not a single hamster or gerbil??
*excluding the few imported for medical and scientific testing.
A pair of socks to the first person who can prove otherwise!
PS. An actual hamster or gerbil. e.g. John Howard is not a hamster or a gerbil. He is most definitely a koala.

I have 4 pet rats.. I've been meaning to put some piccies up.. will do that soon. They are heaps cute; named after different foods. It might be suprising to those that haven't had pet rats before, but they are quite smart and affectionate. I let mine run out on the back veranda and house, and they come back when i call them... well... most the time.
I've patted a ferret at a doof, but apparent the guy was trying to be very hush hush, because they're illegal in some states. Ferrets are awesome... except they go millions miles an hour, 24-7... VERY hyper and eventually exhausting.
Little balls of fluff are cuuuute..
I want a chinchilla...

now i know they're not actually spam, but just reading the titles they sooooo sound like they are. interesting enough to catch your eye and vague enough to make you investigate

Ry, you'll most likely find that it's illegal to import hamsters and gerbils and other "exotic" rodents cuz they're like... rodents... pests...
not allowed to have them incase they go the way of mice and rats (i nearly wrote rice and mat's then.......) and start taking over the natural habitats of our already endangered small marsupials.
having said that. i want a hamster.

Why not get a Tazmanian devil?
I'd love to have one of those, although it would probably attack me.

well for one you cant export tasmanian devils out of tasmania without the expressed permission of the government, and two they're probably give you cancer while gnawwing on your leg

I'm net very clued up about Aussie wildlife, although I can tell you quite a bit about South African wildlife, especially the species they call pyromaniac africanus

lol, they have a facial tumor disease that is infectious. devils will often fight over food and bite each other when reproducing which means theres a high chance of passing on the disease to other devils, at the moment scientists are trying to figure out how to stop it/ where it came from, if they dont the devil could be extinct in the wild or completely within a few years.
and they probably wouldnt bite you anyway, they're scavengers not hunters, unless of course you pissed them off. their jaws are powerful enough to break bones

Wow! Thanks for the info Mr. M.
I've watched a couple of doccies about devils and I really like the way they look and it sounds awesome when they snarl. It's a pity to hear about their declining numbers.
They're marsupials, right?

Yeah Sarah.. thing is I've got 2 bets with Pip,
1. Surely there is a hamster in Australia (for a pair of socks)
2. Surely there is a gerbil in Australia (for a second pair of socks)
Think I'm going to have to pay out soon..

nope, you don't, there's no hamsters and no gerbils. none, zip, zero, zilch.
and even if anyone does have one, they're gonna be keeping it pretty quiet cuz there's some fairly hefty fines involved. possibly even jail time.

unless of course she gets the socks when you discover there's none, then you'd better pay up with the socks.
