My new friend

I bought myself a hamster today!! She was the only one left in the shop (I don't know whether that's a good thing or not...). She is a dwarf hamster and I have decided to call her Betty. According to my RSPCA 'Care for Your Hamster' book, I am supposed to let her settle into her new surroundings for 24 hours before I attempt to pick her up. I might start by wearing oven gloves just to be on the safe side as she may be small, but her teeth look quite sharp. I'm going to try really hard not to bury her alive like poor old Alf.
