Ours used to pretend to be spider-hamster, climbing across the roof of his cage. He was the only hamster I knew who made his wheel spin from the outside.
Now in the sad spot in the garden.

The girls were horrified when we let ours out for a run and the lad made a break for freedom, before falling from a shelf it had got onto. He shook violently for about 5 minutes before coming right again. Genuinely didn't expect him to be alive the next day, but he's still going, 2 years old now...Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostGood!
Mind you I still wince when I remember dropping the hamster into chocolate cake and ice cream. Or the time I left the door to its room open overnight and our 2 cats batted its cage open and it made a run for it - then spent the night hiding over the house. Though we did recapture it alive.
The hamster(lovely tinky) died young. No surprise really....

He did get a bollocking, and still reels when I remind him of it.

Right, that's an hour of my life I'm never getting back. To make matters worse you've set my clients' expectations of my productivity way to high.
