The bloody creature lived on for two whole weeks in a box in the airing cupboard. His last words went unrecorded.<br /><br />MikeMike C.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11279776665185060446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-33372879278216632452012-05-21T10:02:42.357+01:002012-05-21T10:02:42.357+01:00When my own daughter's hamster fell ill, I was...When my own daughter's hamster fell ill, I was appalled to discover that the vet's fee was as much as the cost of three new hamsters.<br /><br />Alas, when it finally died, I was out of the country and thus had no chance to try out the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL51BDDC65EF3B6F86" rel="nofollow">how to fossilise your hamster</a> experiment.Martyn Cornellhttp://zythophile.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6096844366367766843.post-15013799343012457912012-05-20T11:16:30.150+01:002012-05-20T11:16:30.150+01:00Tony_C,

He survived surgery for the removal of a huge tumour, and lived for seven years. We also had a dog, that we rescued from a Cornish farmer, who had shot all but two of a litter. We loved her and she loved us back for twelve years. We also took the strange decision to buy a budgie. He was a cheerful little chap who, at the age of three, perched on my finger one morning, sneezed and dropped dead.
