This is Bright Spot.

Bright Spot is a dwarf desert hamster, otherwise known as a Roborovski Hamster. He is the first hamster we have owned.

Desert hamsters only live about three years, and Bright Spot is growing old now.

All desert hamsters are adorable, but Bright Spot has been special from the first day we brought him home. Because he was so cute, we now have five desert hamsters.
