Even Hamsters Gives Thanks

Imagine a turkey smaller than a man's thumb, But it's enough to feed four because the diners are tiny critters.
Jeanne Moos reports on the gobble gobble that became nibble nibble.
Baste the turkey, prepare the pie. When you sit down to Thanksgiving dinner, give thanks your portions aren't hamster sized.
Tiny Hamster's Tiny Thanksgiving is actually dinner for four, two hamsters, a rat and a rabbit, which made it "extremely chaotic," Joseph Matsushima said.
Matsushima is the co-founder of Denizen Company.
It was chaotic and a long day. A not-quite-2-minute-video took 12 hours for the folks at Denizen to shoot.
The pilgrim hats are taped on to the furry feasters and the human pilgrim serving the feast is actually a Los Angeles food critic.
Hamster Thanksgiving was brought to you by the same folks who created the Tiny Hamster Eating Tiny Burritos viral video. And Tiny Birthday Cake. And Tiny Hamster vs. Kobayashi, the former Nathan's hot dog eating champ. The hamster won that competition.
Denizen, a viral ad agency, dreamed up tiny hamsters eating tiny food to show off their creative chops.
Matsushima said the company hired a food stylist to work with their animal trainer to find what each animal's diet is. They then turned hamster-friendly ingredients into human-looking food.
