Work-related question

The small furry rodents that sometimes live in an assemblage of little chambers, connected by tunnels or passageways, with the habitat set out on a tabletop... are those hamsters, guinea pigs, or something else?

Gerbils are illegal here? Really? I did not know that. I bet it has something to do with feral gerbils being vectors for disease that could endanger things like salt-water harvester mice -- but then again, *mice* aren't illegal.

Yeah, I don't know. I just know that I had them in NY, and wasn't allowed to have them here. Or maybe it was my sis that wasn't allowed, since I was a teen and she was still a kid when we got here in the late 70's. And you never EVER see them in the petstores here, so I think it's still the case. I just don't know WHY. I suppose we could look it up on the Internet. After all "the internet knows EVERYTHING! And some of it's even true!" ;^)
