Let me ask my cats. They might be keen.

Could you not just have said small hamsters? Just doesn't seem very PC.

Surely should be vertically challenged hamsters.

probably not, but chocolate-coating them would add some weight

But the chocolate would get stuck in the fur. You'd be coughing up chocolate furballs for how long?

Best to roast on a low heat with fur on and then the fur will burn away. Once that happens, batter and deep fry. Eat whole. Like an armadillo on the outside and dime bar on the inside!

How about removing the fur, coating in chocolate, letting the chocolate set and then coating in batter and deep frying?

Am assuming that they are little enough just to add a bit of crunch. I am also not sure that deboning a dwarf hamster would be possible

If we took the bones out, it wouldn't be crunchy, now, would it? :D

Then it would be fully like an armadillo.
