Congrats, you found me!
I'm Nick and Gally's (LestISmiteThee) Limited Edition Green Travel Bug Tag on their Amuse Coroham Yukimaru hamster plush celebrating the adoption of Takoyaki the Chinese dwarf hamster, the lives of all their small family members, and the small animals of Geocaching families worldwide! It was received as a gift from Shop Geocaching.
I also track the Geo-miles they've traveled with their small pets.
LestISmiteThee's Pets:
GeoCats
GeoDogs
GeoHamsters / GeoRats
GeoFerrets
GeoParrots
Feel free to share photos and stories of your small pet(s)!
You might be thinking: ew, rodents! But did you know rats can laugh? They can also learn their names and perform amazing tricks! They're basically tiny dogs and love to be around people and give kisses! Rats, rabbits, ferrets, pigs, parrots, and many other animals can bond with people as deeply as dogs and cats!
In addition to taking care of dozens of rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, and hamsters at a local humane society, Gally has personally had:

Momo ♀ RIP
Nicknames: No-Nose (for rubbing off the fur above her nose when she chewed on stuff)
Adopted: 2006, GA, USA
Species: Short-haired black Syrian hamster w/white chest dot
Likes: Food, esp sunflower seeds. Chewing. Burrowing. Wheel. Exploring.
Her story: Our first pet together, and our first hamster! Our most memorable moment with her was when she burrowed in her bedding and suddenly stopped halfway so her butt, toes, and tail were sticking up in the air! After that, our rhyme for her: "Oh noes! It's the Momos! With the no-nose. But she got toes! Cuz she's the Momos!"
