I shove a pencil into the spokes on the back of Lisa's hamster's wheel when it is running at full pelt. Goes right up the side but so far hasnt gone all the way round.

I chock the wheel completely at night so it cant run round and annoy me.

I hate that fucking hamster.

lol they can be annoying.

In anothe rlife me and an old birds sister bought a hamster, I named him hercules (lol)

the wheel was squeaky, it was on wooden floors and was a pain in the arse.

I found moving it onto the only rug int he house was enough tio not hear the damn thing 3 rooms away!

This one is called snarf (after the thing in Thundercats), it's brown and white and fat.

The wheel attached to its cage rattles on its bushes in a really annoying way when it runs in it, and it limits his speed. I would like to ballrace it so he can get some proper speed up. All the more effective when I pencil it then.

all i can say is that from the look of it, they haven't hurt themselves.

when people think its funny to impede their exercise to the degree of maybe causing them harm, think of this......

they rely on you to feed, water and entertain them. people are thousands of times bigger than them. so put yourselves in their place, and think of how you would like to be treated like that and not be able to do a damn thing about it. its cruelty, even though you may not think of it like that. i have had about 9-10 hamsters and gerbils, and they have lived to a ripe old age, and yes they have been a little annoying at times, having being bitten a few time, but i wouldnt have changed them for anything.

sorry if you think im being over dramatic, but i HATE CRUELTY

sorry if you take this the wrong way but if you think thats cruelty then dont you think its cruel to keep it in a cage for most of its life?

absoluetly not, i love them as much as i can, they wouldnt survive for long in our wild. i get them checked by the vets whenever i can, they probably (hopefully) have a far better life with us than children, but you can say what you have said about any pet though, cant you?

oh yes, like i say, they werent hurt, dont get me wrong, that hammy did it on his/her own accord, they werent forced into it, no doubt they would do it again, and they didnt half get it up to good speed, easy outrun my hammy, Daz, (only because he is an albino hammy)

My hamster has a habbit of filling the bottom of the wheel with his food, getting in and starts running and all the food gets fired out of it again for the cycle to be looped half the night. Either that or he climbs onto the top of the wheel and tries to use it as a treadmill.

Pop that clip off and its out to eat every thing in the house.

And get even bigger.

Nasty.
