Random wierd shit thread

category: general [glöplog]
 
To set the scene: One hamster that's an escapologist and a whole house as a playground.
Firstly, the tube on it's cage comes off pretty easily and this morning it was noted that indeed it was not connected anymore. But the person that was going to check if the hamster was still in its house forgot until an hour ago.
Luckily we only live in a bungalow, so there wasn't far he could really go. And so began the search for the elusive hamster, as time went by, so did his chances of survival. We tried absolutely everywhere.
The lady of the house was doing cleaning today which involved vacuuming. Me and the missus had this wierd feeling it was in the vacuum cleaner, so I took it apart to have a look and found that indeed the bag had been chewed, (this is a Vax if anyone is interested.) ;)
There was a hamster body inside that looked pretty much dead. Me personally, I'm a bit squeamish so I got the missus to exhume the poor wee mite. I picked out the bag and tipped it and within a couple of seconds there was rustling, at this point i was tearing the bag open on the livingroom floor to tip the contents out. And there he was, one sleepy and very black hamster, (normally a nice sandy colour.) ;)
We're still trying to fathom how the hell he got in there. One theory is that he was out of the cage all night, fell into a Budwiser box, chewed his way out and somehow got into the vacuum cleaner. Me personally, I don't think that particular hamster could climb that high into the hole on purpose and that he found his way into the hose and was sucked into the machine.
The poor wee bugger must have been in there the whole time the missus was using it because to be honest, you'd feel something like that getting sucked in, plus it'd be pretty much dead. When we found him he was actually sleeping.
He seems fine anyway. :)

That is one miracle hamster!
