addy is officially named Tiddly Tadpole Squat after a famous and much-loved British racehorse who died 10 June 2013 under tragic circumstances. As a little hamlet, he was and sometimes still is affectionately called "The Furry Tadpole" - something he hopes to outgrow before middle age.

Tad is the "Mr. Personality" of a large family (he has ten siblings) and loves to interact with humans, being the first to stick his little nose up from the nest in his infancy and undeniably the most curious and alert of the litter. He brings

to the campaign a fanastic sense of humor, tons of energy, and an appetite for mischief that knows no bounds.

This young son of Diddley and Cree Squat is a natural to be the spokesham of the campaign, basking in attention and never lacking a proper and prompt response when in front of the press. Despite his quick wit and sharp tongue (not to mention teeth) Taddy has a extraordinary sense of fairness. Nothing annoys him so much as those who take a patronizing attitude toward rodents and those who publicly raise doubts about their qualifications to hold elective office. A fierce loyalist to family and friends, he nonetheless is eager to

reach out to anyone interested in the campaign.

Taddy's personal interests are varied and changing. He likes everything from sports to creative paper-shredding and nest building. He's saving seeds to buy a cell phone so he can do early camkpaign outreach. He works closely with brother Linus on internet publicity and plans to help in the writing of campaign literature.

This son of an emerging hamster political dynasty was at home in a large cage, running in his wheel, eating seeds, and sleeping. He took his last sleep late in the morning of 19 May 2015. Rest in Peace, Beloved Taddy.
