A Little Story
So the night before last my parents were driving off to the casino at around midnight, they only got a few streets away from the house before they almost hit something wandering around on the road. What was it? A hamster! LOL... not something you usually see puttering around the streets  Well, they brought it back to me, so I set it up in a cage... lol... never realized how silly they can be. The little guy kept trying to climb the bars of the cage, and any other rodent in my house would've used all FOUR legs when going across the top, but nope, not this guy. Just dangled with his front legs and go most of the way across liek that, danlging like a kid on monkey bars Half the time he would get as far as the middle then fall on his back  Entertaining to say the least. Well the next day we put up flyers on all the mailboxes in the neighbourhood and sure enough last night we got a call. The hamster belonged to a 5 year old kid, and had been missing for an entire day before we found it. I named him Oark (Our Almost Road Kill)...

Of course the little boy wants his pet back. They got it back about 10 minutes after they called. I'll miss the little guy, as much as I don't care for hamsters, I started to like the little monster I honestly was surprised we even found the owners. I thought it would've been something along the lines of someone letting it go because they didn't want it.

Good work Linds! Sounds like everyone's happy (unless maybe the parents kind of left the door open wink wink)

how traumatic would it be to lose your pet, then the person that found it fed it to their snake, would be kinda funny though!

Cute story, that was great of you to do to that, you never know what comes around goes around, someone may do that for you someday I have rescued people's dogs before and sure enough the favor comes back.
Hamsters are EASY to breed 16 day gestation, most of my snakes that will only eat mice will eat hamsters too, I get hamster pinkies alot faster than mice, but my snakes are not to fond of adult hamsters, just the babies.

Agree with Yvonne, great thing that you've done. Of course you never told to that little boy (with a paranoid glance), that if he lost again his buddy, it will meet snakes' teeth...

LOL that poor kid would have been traumatized thinkin of his lil' hamster being eaten by some snake. Well, hopefully, the little boy doesnt lose his friend again (if so, lets hope no snake owners find him).
