Completed October 16, 2010—mostly as an experiment in getting a wearable creature that will sit up straight on its haunches—then redone October 20 because the nose and teeth looked too funny from the front. The Gallery image and main pic are updated; the others as-was.

This hamster (complete with carrot) already has a home, but you can write to the Salamander if you’d like to discuss the creation of someone similar for yourself.
