Does your snot nosed kid keep bugging you to get a puppy? We’ve found a perfect alternative that will not only satisfy your little one’s critter cravings but also demonstrate what a rich son of a gun you are now that you’ve won $1,000 of JACK CASH.

All we had to do was turn to our favorite retailer of fine goods: Craigslist.

Billionaires have tiger rugs, millionaires have mounted dear heads, and you can now join the ranks as a thousandaire with some taxidermied hamsters!

The ad advises that “If the kids ask why they aren’t moving just explain to them that happy hamsters keep still.”  They will never be the wiser! You won’t even have to worry about reminding your rugrats to feed their new pets!

Hamsters aren’t known for being very cooperative or trainable pets, but stuffed hamsters are an entirely different story!

You could go the classy route up and sit them at a hamster-sized table with a mini sterling silver tea set.  Maybe you’re a little more edgy and you want to dress your furry friends in tiny motorcycle jackets atop an itty bitty chopper. The possibilities are endless, really.

All you have to do is email the owner and taxidermy artist, “Buzzy”.

Sigh…we were hoping it was going to be Chuck Testa as well.
