But the Californian Hamster Association is less than impressed.
It told TMZ hamsters are delicate creatures that “often succumb quickly to illness and death”, especially when faced with “sudden environmental change”.
It ominously added: "The moment that hamster was handed off to a screaming girl in a harsh, frenzied environment was likely the moment it gazed at the short path to its doom."
By the way, PAC has his own Twitter account and insists he's fine.
