In German, hoarding is called “hamstering” and going out buying stuff in much larger quantities than what you need is called making a “Hamsterkauf”, literally buying “like a hamster” or “buying a hamster”. I totally abhor this behaviour and will have none of it. I rather buy guinea pigs.
This photo shows why – they have much more meat on them:

What a super cute little fellow 🙂
the panic is a human reaction to a sudden threat on lives … hopefully people will calm down as it’s much healthier for our immune systems

Haha! I wonder if any cultures do eat them?

They eat guinea pig in South America. Google gave me the number of 65 million guinea pigs eaten in Peru every year. Most westerners shrink back but are happily eating rabbits. Anyway, I eat neither hamsters nor rabbits.

Nor me, now. I was brought up on rabbit stew though. Cheap and cheerful.

Hamsters are way better than hamstering…
