Do you enjoy long sleepless nights due to constant noise? Do magic tricks, such as escaping from a lock and chain then disappearing for days at a time excite you? Have you ever wondered what a sock would look like if you put it through a woodchipper? I bought this white and orange teddy bear hamster at petsmart to replace my sons 6 year old hamster that unfortunately passed away a couple months ago. Our old hamster was a sweet little guy, the complete opposite of this evil prick taking up car part space in my house now. He's really cute, I'm guessing to be 6 months to a year old, but not at all kid friendly. His list of offenses are: *Unprovoked biting *Will hiss when my son looks at him *Always (and I mean if it's not sleeping it's chewing) chewing on its cage trying to escape *He really really likes ritz crackers and will chirp/squeak/b!tch when he doesn't have a full supply *He is an escape artist and also extremely strong for being a rat, he can chew through metal and broke the lock on the front of his cage in an attempt to escape *When he has gotten out he is fearless and can jump from 5ft tall ledges and climb stairs *Will eat through large areas of carpet (I'll just get it out of the way, yes he's a carpet muncher) *Will eat socks *And my favorite, an entire box of minute rice. For the next week he was like a noisy breathing hackey sack (my vet confirmed he was ok) I'm not sure why he's so emo and angry but he's been like that since the day I brought him home even after weeks of socializing and handling him. I asked a vet about it and Apparantly he might still be suffering from stress from when he was at the pet store and there isn't too much that can be done to break the behavior. SO if you are a hamster whisperer, need cheap snake food, or want to start an underground hamster fighting ring and need a champion, please let me know. Price is FREE to anyone up to the challenge! *Cage not included, but will send him with hamster food and a sleeve of crackers
Would ya look at that...a FS thread for a FREE hamster that is more descriptive than 75% of the car FS threads of which are asking for thousands of dollars.
I've had a lot of 'helpful' ideas on how to kill him, but I still have some shards of a soul left and would never have the heart to do it. So I figured I'd let somebody else pick up the ticket to hell .
Lol they actually do have a 14 day hamsterback garuntee!! No free shipping though. It's been over 3 months so they won't let me bring him back. I only waited this long because I figured eventually he'd calm down. That and it looks exactly like the old hamster and I wasn't ready to have the death talk with my 3 year old...although if he keeps it up...
Drop him off at the bus station (without the cage) and give him his freedom. The city will eat him alive.
Well I'm glad everyone enjoyed the ad. Really need this little guy out and apparantly the humane society charges $30 to take hamsters in. Bump for any takers? He's really soft, would make a great half of an ear muff.
Omg what took me so long to read this. I say stuff it then glue small horns on it and mount it on the wall..we shall call it a hampdeer.
Or buy another one and use receipt to return this one...if that doesn't work just put them in the same cage..survival of the fitest.
We had some pretty good ideas the other night, too bad none came to life.... I really liked my idea of hanging him from the ceiling over a large board filled with spikes. Hamster kabob.
Ha I finally stumbled my way into this thread...I was assuming that it was just some sort of snake food crap that no one wanted Anyway, me and a few of my college friends had a white elephant Christmas party last year. (White Elephant party: bring a ridiculous gag gift and all gifts are gifted to people at the party). My idea? A gerbil, like a living one. The 1st sales lady at the pet store wasn't too thrilled with my idea, so I learned not to tell the 2nd sales lady what I was doing. Anyway, it was hilarious, and that little guy (named Barry Jenkins) was the life of the party (didn't bite either). For some reason, I have a feeling that Barry is going to come back and haunt me this year. So anyway, I've already pulled that prank, but there is an idea for someone else to pass on this little hamster bastard!
How about I put all of the above mentioned ideas into a hat to decide his fate? Then I'll make a vote on the thread to nominate someone to handle the 'dealing with'? I don't have the heart to otherwise I would've stopped at idea one lol.
This is also pending that the lady off craigslist that was supposed to pick him up today, will actually pull through and pick him up tommorow.
I'm heartless. If she doesn't show, let me have the little furry hacky-sack from hell. I wonder if the Stihl blower-vac will suck him up?
Give it to ASPCA and then what's her ass can sing 'in the arms of an angel' to it while they try to figure out how to banish it back to it's circle of hell.
Sorry should've updated. But no, finally some kid off craigslist took him last week. He's been replaced with a cuter and less psychotic lady hamster. When the guy picked him up I asked if he wanted the cage too and all he said was it wouldn't be necessary, then walked off. So to answer the 'alive' part of the question my best guess is probably not so much.
I'd like to think he ended up in a stoner household (aka the hamster equivalent to a farm) with enough Cheetos and second hand smoke to calm him the F down. But my gut tells me he's probably swinging from a ceiling fan or worse...
