    hamster and obesity

     
    Scientists at Aberdeen's Rowett Research Institute believe genes in the hamsters could control how much they eat at various times of the year.

    My kitty must be part Siberian Hamster then---3 years in a row she religiously gains weight for winter and sheds it as summer comes on even tho the temp here varys very little---vet pointed it out to me after I noticed she wasnt eating and became concerned---she also sleeps on my bed during the winter (leaves when the heater comes on at 7am for a warmer spot in the livingroom) and usually outside during the summer...
