    Worth the investment, keep combing it you'll have enough fur for an arctic proof posing pouch after 10 years.

    Give the kid a break. Get a hamster!

    Would teach her lessons about life, love, death and responsibility.

    Hmmmm...

    Hamster Stew

    Ingredients:

    1 Hamster, quartered
    1 cup diced onion
    2 large tomatoes (from your garden) or 1 can of tomatoes
    Assorted fresh, or canned veggies

    Preparation:
    Sprinkle seasoned salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper (optional) liberally on the meat. Pour some cooking oil into a large pot (dutch oven). Saute the meat with the onions until well browned. Drain the excess oil, add about 2 cups water, and bring to a boil. Cut up the tomatoes and add. If you use canned tomatoes add them now. Turn down the heat, and let slow cook for at least an hour. Important: older hamsters may require cooking longer than an hour. Check periodically for tenderness. If you don't you will have a hard time chewing the meat. After the meat is tender, add the veggies, carrots, potatoes, banana pepper, what ever you like. Cook until the veggies are done. An option you can use is, cook up your favorite pasta and serve over the pasta. (eliminate the potatoes).

    Not sure if they can be done in an Otto.

    I bought a pair of Russian dwarf hamsters for my eldest's seventh birthday.

    They are both dead now.

    Here's what I learnt from their tenure in our house:

    1. Crucially, they are nocturnal. So you never see the little fuckers.

    2. In the fleeting moments when your waking hours coincide with theirs, you pick them out of the cage only to be brutally savaged; the band-aids were frequently called upon.

    3. Their bowel movements are frequent to say the least - when they aren't biting you, they're shitting on you.

    4. Despite the fact you need a fucking magnifying glass to see them, they make a tremendous racket for such little creatures, often stirring me from slumber while going hell for leather on their wheel in the cage.

    5. They are very easy to lose. Which is the only positive we took away from the whole hamster-ownership experience.

    Have at it Lool.

    There’s a website called xhamster that may offer some useful tips for dealing with the loss of a pet hamster.
    Never looked at it myself.

    I’ve since checked out the website but quickly left.
    Some cruel bugger had placed a gerbil in a tube and seemed to be attempting to smother the poor creature by farting into it.
    Nasty and strange. Unless I’ve completely misinterpreted what was happening.

    Get a pig.Apparently they're quite clean and can be trained. At least when it dies you'll have a good supply of bacon and some christmas ham. Just tell the children it ran away.

    Unless it eats the children.
    Pigs are clever and always hungry.

    I watched a vid on The Grauniad about how pigs are slaughtered in Thailand last week.

    Don't watch it.

    ^ Thank you kindly sir.


    ^^ A good mate of mine turned vegan.

    Asked why.

    He said he saw a video, I think from PETA, of live cattle ships from Ireland to Egypt, documenting from boarding to arrival and slaughter.

    Asked I'd like to see it.

    I politely declined before heading off to find some beef in its natural form. Wrapped in cellophane on the shelf in Tescos.

    See it for real here in the sticks Cy. Not a pretty sight but all part of getting a plastic encased pork chop to Makro.
