Does your Hamster have superior Hamster ball skills and speed? If you think your Hamster has what it takes and is the king or queen of the horde than test his/her skills this weekend at the Hamster Ball Derby. Every year Petco sponsors a Hamster Ball Derby in each of its more than 950 stores nationwide.

Have a Gerbil but not a Hamster, no worries the Hamster Ball Derby is open to hamsters, gerbils, mice and rats. Sorry, Chinchillas and guinea pigs are not allowed to participate. The races are on October 3, 2009 with registration opening at 1:30pm and the races getting underway at 2:00pm. It goes without saying that participants must bring their own pets and hamster balls to race. Prizes will be awarded to the top 3 critters!
