|Also, anyone hear of a "Dagu"? The "new" wonderpet from S-America |that looks like a fat chipmunk but is more like a hampster? |[Isn't this a guinea-pig sized/formed critter? Have you seen |dwarf african hedgehogs yet?] My sister-in-law, Ailsa, works at a pet store and is in charge of rodents. She has been raising hamsters and guinea pigs at home. She has had two Dagus over the last 6 months. A Dagu is just about the right size to fill a coffee mug (normal sized mug, not Greg's). They have strong over-sized front teeth - sort of like a beaver, but not as extreme. If there is any particular need to extend the scope of this mailing list to cover such beasts, I'm sure she would not mind being consulted. [Posted in FML 0108]
