They're cute when they stuff those cheek pouches with food. On the other hand, they're nocturnal and hamsters are completely solitary critters.

If you put a hamster on steroids, he'll attack other hamsters more quickly and more often, and bite a lot.

But can he hit 73 homeruns in a season?

Hamsters on steroids remain aggressive into adulthood, according to a new study that offers yet another caution to teens who might try to bulk up artificially.

Well, that obviously means we need to go ahead and kill anyone who tests positive for steroids and save the pain and waiting.

Nah. You put them in hamster wheel cages and hook the cages up to electrical generators.

To be honest, "steroids" wasn't the first thing I thought of when I saw "'roid rage".

Syrian hamsters cannot be kept together after they are a few weeks old. They will fight to the death. Roids might escalate it but they will fight anyway.

They're cute when they stuff those cheek pouches with food.

This is one of my dwarf hamsters. She can get a lot of food in those cheeks.

Watch out when they strap on those tiny little explosive belts and blow themselves up, along with any innocent hamsters that happen to be around.

[ Not so. Hamsters on steroids remain aggressive into adulthood, according to a new study that offers yet another caution to teens who might try to bulk up artificially ]

Could be the rodent Mike Tysons problem.. roids when younger.. or some other drug.. Wonder if other drugs can have this effect.. or a like effect..

Hamsters are pretty aggressive without steroids. It was funny when we got dwarf hamsters, little things smaller than my thumb would stand on their back legs and punch at me when I tried to pick them up. Once you get them out of "pet store shock" they mellow out some, but they're always willing to take you on if you irritate them.
