Ask one of your kids friends to look after it. Kids love doing that sort of thing, especially if they don't have a pet themselves.Originally posted by Old Hack View Post...with the kids hamster.
Off for 6 weeks in a couple of weeks, and no idea what to do with the Hamster.
Let it go to fend for itself?
Leave it in a room with a dripping hose pipe and bucket of food?
Leave it at the local Cattery and let it take its chances?
Deep fry it and serve it up as a treat?

Get a Python.
Turn it into a purse so your kids can keep it forever?
Make Dutch Jam?
