Harry the Hamster


Harry our long time surviving only pet (we have not had much luck in the pet department!) nearly met an untimely death over the weekend. We have had Harry since 2006 and not only has he grown to resemble "Rhino" from the movie Bolt but his home has doubled too. He has two houses joined together by tubing, which on numerous occasions we have joked that one of these days he will get stuck in! Well that joke became a reality on Saturday, after cleaning his cage and letting him roll around the place in his ball, Harry decides to stuff his face with carrots. Not just one carrot, but his cheeks were full, he then proceeds to squish himself into the tubing, Jon was watching this unfold when the words"he is stuck" came out of his mouth.
Jon managed to get the cages apart and as he releases Harry carrots and food come flying out of his mouth! I will be very surprised if he does that again, we are hoping he has learned a lesson!

The 3rd looking leg that appears to be tucked up in front there is in fact a carrot!

The tubing that nearly caused the end of Harry's life!
