wasn't he the one with guinea pigs or hamster and we were getting blow by blow mating habits and births? What has happened. No longer raising varmints?

I think he has taken his Cybernetic Hamster Army into hiding... lest the forces of good raid his Hamster Boot Camp...

(All in good fun... I don't know if he's still raising them or not).

Yes, I still have them, and I have THREE recent litters that I need to find homes for... or keep some and give the rest away, etc.

Too bad that I'm not close to lazydays, otherwise I would have given him one... or a few... lol

Edit: oh, and they're ridiculously cute. I would post video, if there were a free service to do so (other than YouTube, which requires registration...).

I always thought hamsters were the inspiration for Tribbles...

They probably were:

Dr. McCoy: Yes? D'you wanna see me, Jim?
[Kirk holds out a handful of tribbles before the doctor's face]
Dr. McCoy: Well, don't look at me. It's the tribbles who are breeding. If we don't get 'em off this ship, we're gonna be hip deep in them.
Capt. Kirk: Would you explain that?
Dr. McCoy: Well, the nearest thing I can figure out is that they're born pregnant - which seems to be quite a time saver.
Capt. Kirk: I know, but really...
Dr. McCoy: And from my observations, it seems they're bisexual, reproducing at will. And, brother, have they got a lot of will.
Spock: Captain, I am forced to agree with the doctor. I've been running computations on their rate of reproduction. The figures are taking an alarming direction. They're consuming our supplies and returning nothing.
Uhura: Oh, but they do give us something, Mr. Spock. They give us love. Well, Cyrano Jones says that a tribble is the only love that money can buy.
Capt. Kirk: Too much of anything, Lieutenant, even love, isn't necessarily a good thing.

There are just wayyyy too many good lines in that episode...

That's one of their best episodes. Probably one of the best episodes in the whole Star Trek franchise.

They are very cute.
