Eric was our first pet and we called him our little panda. He loved Whizee alligator treats to the point of devouring one each month and dragging it around. He tended to keep to himself but never hesitated to come out to ask for food. He never got tired of digging tunnels and foraging for treats that we'd hide for him. 

Our snowball coloured hamster was Cecil. He was very skittish at first but eventually warmed up to us greatly, allowing us to pet him any time. He was an explorer that loved to climb. He also had some silly habits, like scooping water with his paws to drink and sleeping with his head face planted.
