Hammie Accidents

[ButterNut]

IDK why but I thought Id share. Over having hamsters for a few years a lot of accidents happened. XD Here are some of the worst (and some are funny) accidents that happened.
Peanut:
Well first of all peanut is so fast and gets lost around my sisters room every once in a while. But since my sisters room isnt huge we always find her.
Once she got lost for over an hour!

And once (just a little while after we got her) for some reason I was holding her in the bathroom while my sister was washing her hands and the sink was full of water...then I dropped her/she jumped into the water!!! When she came out she was soaking wet and looked like a rat! Okay I felt really bad afterwords but I was really scared of her and my sister handed her to me and I freaked and dropped her. Uch, I felt like such a terrible hamster owner after that and I swore to myself Id never do anything like that again (i felt soo bad, but I guess I deserved to feel bad cause I dropped her in the water AND on the floor! Poor thing!!!)
P.S. She kind of jumped out of my hands...shoulda been more careful. AFter that I dried her off and she didnt get soapy.
And just today I stepped on her with part of my foot...

*sigh* great owner right? XD

Phillip:This one is sad. We didnt put the cage together right and he got lost outside and we didnt find him

Buttercup:
Lost her on her first day here.

Lol anyone else have something you regret doing with your hamsters?

I regret giving Gemma so much human food, before I knew it was bad for her... luckily she didn't get diabetes, which I was worried about!

I poked Luna in the eye last night.

She was going from hand to hand (or more like, hand to wrist to leg to wrist to hand to arm to sofa to leg to hand), moved too quick and when I moved my hand to go infront of her I poked her in the eye/side of the head.

I once detatched a tube from Scamp's cage while she was in it. She decided to reverse at speed, flew out the end, over my hand, backflipped over part of her cage and dived about a metre to the floor before freezing in shock. Then when she unfroze we picked her up and were very relieved to see she was ok.

It was definetly a big lesson for both me and Scamp lol

I lost Darla for a night. He jumped over my leg and off the bed, and wouldn't be caught by hand or by traps. After a fairly sleepless night, I found him in a bag of rubbish from the last cage clean-out I had yet to take to the dustbin outside. I have never had him out of the cage so unrestrained since
