Hamsters

[The Chairman]

Horde King, Too Cute and I got a female hamster and then it escaped. We replaced it with a male one and then we found the female one. Now we have two and Too Cute read up on them and it says their gestation period is 16 days and they can have up to 20 babies!

What should we do?

PS - did you know a group of hamsters is called a Horde? Cool!

I've had hamsters before. They can be very vicious and territorial little creatures when they live together. (I saw a scene straight out of Lord of the Flies in a hamster tank at a pet store once.) I suggest you keep them separated.

They are also nocturnal so be prepared to hear the little buggers climbing on their water bottles at 3am! :-)

In my bio class, we had to take care of an animal for a year. we were forced to get 2 hamsters and they played together very nicely for 3/4th of the year. before one 5 day weekend, my partner accidentally poured bedding over the food dish. When we got back, one of the hamsters had eaten the other one, not just nibbling but completely. All that was left was skin and bones. it was quite the disturbing scene, a corpse and a bloody mouthed hampster.

You can keep the male and female together, just be prepared for tons of little hampsters. you can sell them to snake owners though...if you can do that morally. My personal suggestion is to ditch the hampsters and buy a guinea pig. GPIGKING in da house.

A couple of weeks ago my 5 year old son got mad at
me for sending him to his room and he opened the
cage door and let his hamster out. I was able to find
him last time he did that, but not this time. I am
TERRIFIED of two things now. Either the stench of
rotting hamster will finally lead me to find him, or I'm
going to grab the poor dead thing by accident when I
pick up one of the mounds of clothes that's all over the
place to do some laundry. Either way I'm gonna freak.
And either way, I am never getting a hamster again.

I miss having cockatiels. Sure they pooped on the floor
a lot, but at least they had the sense to fly back to
their cage when they got hungry. Plus, I could pet
them and they'd whistle tunes I taught them. This
hamster wouldn't let anybody touch him. Must have
been sexually abused at the pet store or something.

Damn Shame I tell you.

Damn Shame.

I thought someone would like that.

To bad Dr. Joe K. can't be here to join in.
