What you didn't know about hamsters
By LANA BERKOWITZ Copyright 2008 Houston Chronicle
This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of NASA, the 70th anniversary of Superman and the 25th anniversary of Michael Jackson's Thriller album.
But did you know it's the 70th anniversary of the pet hamster's introduction into the United States?
Not too many have taken notice of the anniversary other than Rolf C. Hagen Inc., maker of Habitrail, which says it has "some exciting new hamster products.''
The American Veterinary Medical Association's 2007 pet census shows that hamster ownership is up 41 percent since 2001, date of the last survey. However, hamsters have dropped from fourth to fifth place in the popularity ranking. It may be hard to believe, but hamsters have been overtaken by turtles. The list is led by cats (82 million), dogs (72 million), birds (10 million), rabbits (6 million) and turtles (2 million, a jump of 86 percent). There are an estimated 1 million hamsters.
The Syrian hamsters, aka golden or Teddy bear hamsters, were wild in Syrian when a researcher captured a colony. In 1938, some of the hamsters were sent to a lab in Louisiana. A highway engineer won a hamster in a bet and set up a breeding farm to sell the animals as pets.
The feisty furballs have been touted as good pets for kids, but they are about 6 inches long and fragile. Children under age 6 should not be allowed to handle hamsters, and older children should be supervised by an adult, according to the ASPCA.
Plus hamsters are noctural, and most children aren't. Because they like to sleep during the day, hamsters have a tendency to nip when they are disturbed. However, you can listen to the hamsters scratching and running in their wheels all night. There's also the circle of life lesson your kids may not be ready deal with when their beloved pet dies of natural causes in two or so years.

Taylor Woodrow Joins the Superstars in Birthday Celebrations
Fifty seems to be the buzz word of the year with mega stars Madonna and Michael Jackson both reaching half a century and Cliff Richard currently celebrating his 50th year in show business. Joining the ranks of well known names is Taylor Woodrow de España, who also has something to celebrate - a successful 50 years of building quality homes in Spain.
London, UK (PRWEB) October 8, 2008 -- Whilst the others are famous for bringing music to the masses, Taylor Woodrow is known for making the dream of owning a home in Spain a reality. Its commitment to quality throughout its 50 year history has helped ensure its climb to the top of the property charts.
Victor Sagué, sales and marketing director, said: "It's fantastic that we're celebrating our 50th anniversary this year with so many well known names. We've mirrored the success of Madonna, Michael Jackson and Cliff Richard; starting off relatively unknown and slowly but surely building a loyal fan base of customers who appreciate our commitment to quality and ability to evolve and move with the times...
