More than 12,000 tiny competitors rolled down critter-size tracks at PETCOs National Hamster Ball Derby, held in more than 900 PETCO stores on Saturday, Oct. 4.
Using hamster balls as their racing vehicles, the furry racers competed for the title of their communitys fastest. Nearly 34,000 family members and hamster fans joined in and cheered on their favorite competitors.
PETCO holds the annual event to celebrate the human-animal bond and to create an opportunity for hamster-loving families to come together for an afternoon of fun and light exercise.
See you all next year!

How long can you put the hamster in the ball?

I just got my hammie and he LOVES his ball. We set up long tracks for him and he dosent stop running. When we put him back in his cage, he will run for about 2 hours straight on average!!! I think i will enter him in the 2011 derby!
