Anyone read Dutch?

HamstersAnyone read Dutch?  Can you tell me what they are saying about my hamster photo on this page?  Scroll down and look for the picture to the right.

Note added 18 Jun 2003: OK, I heard back from the author of the hamster post.  Apparently she was saying the hamsters are ‘zielig’ — ‘miserable’ or ‘pitiful’.  I think it is because there are several in the same cage.  And she is right!  But in my defense, shortly after the picture was taken I moved the hamsters to individual, much larger habitats.  Chronologically, here are the posts about hamsters: [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], and [7].  The last link is about the hamsters’ deaths.  Note also that “eulogies for hamsters” was one of the searches in my Two Years of Google Searches.

If anyone out there speaks Dutch, I would still like a summary of what was said in the thread.
