Escape, the Hamster



Escape is a great name for our hamster. I've lost count of the number of times he's escaped, (about 5). This last time it took days to find him. In that time he chewed three holes in the carpet.

When I finally did catch him he bit me hard. My poor thumb bled for a long time. Today I had to get a tetnus shot. So, I got a sore right thumb and a sore left arm.

Maybe a hamster isn't the best pet for us. I've never had these problems with any other hamster I've ever owned. If you are thinking about getting a hamster don't assume that the pet store has handled it. Ours is wild and grown so we haven't been able to tame him.
