  The book will include fun hamstertracker stats, tips, advice on hamster care, and much more!

HAMSTERS ARE THE NEXT BIG THING 'Pocket pets' (hamsters, hedgehogs, etc) are increasingly popular, and hamsters are at the helm of this trend. There are hamster blogs, hamsters car commercials, electronic hamster toys-there's even a human-sized hamster hotel in France where you can eat, sleep, and live like a hamster. The Zhu Zhu electronic hamster toys are so popular (and hard to find) they're selling on Ebay for $100 ($8 retail), and were featured as Toys'R'Us's Black Friday marketing centerpiece. CUTE OVERLOAD! Cuteness is addicting-and it sells. Witness the overwhelming success of I Can Has Cheezburger?, Stuff on My Cat, and What Pets Do While You're At Work. The uber-popular website CuteOverload.com receives an astounding 100k unique visitors per day (ICanHasCheezburger receives 500k per day). MINI MEALS FROM AN EXPERT Mathjis van der Paauw is a bona fide hamster aficionado-having cared for six furry little ones over the years. He has created a truly unique series of mini meals, catered especially for these pocket pets-from Micro Veggie Pizzas to Simple Pasta to Bananasplit Cake! Even if you don't have a hamster, you'll fall in love with his attention to detail and perfect presentation.
