OK I called the vet and the technician laughed out loud at me when I said hamster. She told me to call animal control if I was really concerned about rabies. So then I call my husband and he doesn't think it could be a hamster. So he made me go look at it and describe it to him. One of the reasons it looked funny to me is that it has a bald tail. My husband informed me hamsters do not have tails. So he thinks it must be a mole. I feel stupid, but it really looks like a hamster!! Anyway I call animal control and all the woman says to me is they do not test moles for rabies and hangs up.
I guess I'm not supposed to be concerned now...
Any thoughts?
