VirtualHamster is a small program that simulates a pet hamster. You can feed it hamster mix, lettuce, cheese, or treats. You can pet it, groom it, squeeze it with love, make sure its water bottle is full, and clean up its poop that it leaves in its cage. This latest version includes a much more complicated simulation that will almost compare to the real thing and improvements are made all the time! For people who can't own real pets for whatever reason, VirtualHamster is the right program for you!
=========

GENERAL INFORMATION
=================
It is fairly straight forward. Double-click on VirtualHamster to run it. It is comprised of options of things to do with your hamster. For instance if you want to feed your Hamster lettuce, you click on the Lettuce radio button and then click on the Feed button. You do this for the other types of food and also to pet or groom your Hamster. You can even squeeze your Hamster (not to kill it, but like a hug). I will be adding many more features in later versions. Please send suggestions and I will see what I can do.
