    For major entertainment, hampsters are a lot of fun. We had a female named
    Corgi who surprised my hubby one day by sliding up the door on her cage,
    crawling out, closing the door behind her, walk over to the edge of the
    buffet and saw my hubby watching her. She turned around, walked back to her
    cage, opened the door, crawled in and closed it behind her. Thereafter,
    she was named Houdini and the doors on her habitrail were forever duct taped.
    Pity we didn’t have the camcorder then, we’d have won America’s Funniest
    Homevideos.

    What is really fun and can brighten up the worst of Grave’s days is to
    put the hampster in a liberty ball and watch her chase the cats. It will
    get you laughing in no time (granted the cats get miffed, but mine are afraid of
    hampsters so I never worried about her getting eaten).

    EM, You poor thing you still can’t find that hamspter! I didn’t
    realize you had a whole family of them :-)
    To read about it it sure sounds funny, even though I know you MUST be
    stressed right now. Hope speedy shows up soon!

    THE HARD THING TO IMAGINE IS THAT I HAVE FOUR KIDS…NONE OF WHOM I HAVE
    LOST …YET AT LEAST…WELL WE WENT TO THE PET STORE AFTER GOOD REPORT
    CARDS AND AS PROMISED WE PURCHASED TWO FEMALE HAMPSTERS FOR THE LITTLE
    ONES…
    ALL WAS WELL AND GOOD EXCEPT THE DAY AFTER FOURTH OF JULY ALL OF A
    SUDDEN WE HEARD LITTLE CRIES FROM THE CAGE ONE MORNING…WELL WE ARE
    GRANDPARENTS NOW…OF TWELVE…..

    STILL ALL WAS WELL AND GOOD WE SEPARATED THE TWO FEMALES….
    AND THEN THE MALE GOT OUT OF HIS NEW CAGE AND MADE HIS WAY FROM THE SECOND
    FLOOR TO THE BASEMENT…HE SHOWED UP IN THE WASHER….HIS NAME WE KNOW
    NOW IS SPEEDY….HE RAN AND WENT INTO THE HOLE THAT YOU PUT BLEACH INTO.NOW AT LEAST
    I HAVE A GOOD EXCUSE FOR NOT DOING LAUNDRY ….THE WASHER BROKE AS MY HUSB.
    WAS TEARIING IT APART TO FIND SPEEDY…. THE LITTLE DARLING IS..
    STILL LOST…
    THEN TODAY THE MOTHER GOT OUT AND WE HAD TWELVE LITTLE MOUTHS TO FEED
    BUT WE FOUND THE WONDERFUL LITTLE DARLING……..AFTER TEARING UP THE WHOLE
    UPSTAIRS AND I MEAN TEARING UP ….LIFTING MATTRESSES….VACUMING DUST
    BUNNIES,, PULLING OUT ALL THE DRESSERS,, SHOES IN BOTTOM OF CLOSETS AND
    LOOKED IN EVERY DARN SHOE….GEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZ
    TALK ABOUT STRESS…THEN I STARTED TO GET JITTERY AND HEADACHE AND WONDERED
    WHY???????????/ ONLY SOMEONE WITH GRAVES WOULD WONDER WHY…

    MORAL OF THE STORY….IF YOU DONT LIKE TO DO LAUNDRY PUT A HAMPSTER IN YOUR
    WASHER….IF YOU HAVE GRAVES DISEASE BUY A METAL CAGE FOR THE HAMPSTER SO
    THEY DONT BITE THROUGH IT…. AND MOST OF ALL IF YOU ARE THE MOTHER OF
    TWELVE …GET OUT OF THAT CAGE AND RUN AND DONT LOOK BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    As a preschool teacher I got the HONOR of taking care of the Hamsters.
    Just a few suggestions –
    Put something heavy on the lid so they son’t push it up.
    You can catch them by putting their cage on the floor
    take lid off, Make steps leading to top, put treats on a
    few step – It should be back in the cage within one or two days.
    Don’t let your children touch the babies or the mother will
    eat them. TAKE ALL ADULTS EXCEPT THE MOTHER OUT OF THE CAGE.

    One time we had a suprise litter when we thought we had three females
    in one cage. We thought we left the mother in the cage with the babies
    but we picked the wrong one. The results were disgusting. Good luchk!!
