The hamster licked me fair and square.
Edited on Wed Mar-05-08 01:38 AM by GoddessOfGuinness
I put my finger up to one of the vents in his exercise wheel, and the next thing I knew, his little tongue was poking out to have a taste. Too bizarre! :rofl:

1. Is that what was on your kitchen floor?
Cute. Years ago my niece's hamster escaped in to my sister and hers apartment. They heard it gnawing in the walls and would see it occasionally. It took over six months before they recaptured it. The little guy never was has tame as before it had a taste of freedom, but remained in his habit-trail for the remainder of his little hamster days.

9. When I was a kid. Late teens actually. I had a hamster that was an escape artist.
A night or so later I woke up with it sitting on my neck. It had actually been scratching at my chin a little bit to wake me up.

I guess he was lucky I've never been the sort to startle easily.

But the point is these little guys really are capable of bonding and trusting you if you treat them right.

11. A MENSA group I belong to has the saying
"Cry havoc and let slip the hamsters of war." because hamsters are cute, because we are strange and because I couldn't get them to agree to rats.

23. Is that what it means?
Or does it mean that one night, Rico will slip out of his condo, find where I'm sleeping, and turn me into some kind of stew? :scared:

24. Not exactly...
...unless the barbs on their tongues are too tiny to detect.

But they aren't particularly slimy like dogs' or humans' are either.
