I always thought hamsters were the inspiration for Tribbles...
They probably were:
Dr. McCoy: Yes? D'you wanna see me, Jim?
[Kirk holds out a handful of tribbles before the doctor's face]
Dr. McCoy: Well, don't look at me. It's the tribbles who are breeding. If we don't get 'em off this ship, we're gonna be hip deep in them.
Capt. Kirk: Would you explain that?
Dr. McCoy: Well, the nearest thing I can figure out is that they're born pregnant - which seems to be quite a time saver.
Capt. Kirk: I know, but really...
Dr. McCoy: And from my observations, it seems they're bisexual, reproducing at will. And, brother, have they got a lot of will.
Spock: Captain, I am forced to agree with the doctor. I've been running computations on their rate of reproduction. The figures are taking an alarming direction. They're consuming our supplies and returning nothing.
Uhura: Oh, but they do give us something, Mr. Spock. They give us love. Well, Cyrano Jones says that a tribble is the only love that money can buy.
Capt. Kirk: Too much of anything, Lieutenant, even love, isn't necessarily a good thing.
There are just wayyyy too many good lines in that episode...
That's one of their best episodes. Probably one of the best episodes in the whole Star Trek franchise.
