I had two hamsters. Bonnie and Clyde. Bonnie ate Clyde. Chewed through her cage, crossed a bedroom, chewed into Clyde's cage, and ate him side first. Ate through her final cage, his ribcage.
You are not a ne'er-do-well with a hamster sidekick. You are a poor, manipulated human under the spell of an evil hamster.
Did you not feed them??
We fed em, Bonnie was just evil. Clyde showed up one day on my mom's porch, during a period in which I had been kidnapped (familial kidnapping) and brought a lot of comfort to my brother and mom during that time. The guy at the pet store (this was 90s, pre Internet for us) told them he needed a companion, and to keep them in separate cages and only let them interact supervised, so that's what they did. They got Bonnie and set everything up, but Bonnie despised Clyde and everything about his good, sweet, and pure little hamster soul. Shortly after I got back, Bonnie committed her ultimate crime.
Wow that pet store salesman was an asshole. I'm sorry that happened to poor Clyde :( he didn't deserve it.
Yeah, Clyde deserved better.
I wasn't there for the per store interaction, but I assume it was a kid working retail following directions off a tag on a cage. That's been most of my experience with pet stores prior to decent information becoming widespread on the Internet
In that case, the pet store manager/owner was the asshole for not giving the employees better information about basic pet care.
God, the hamster subreddits are like the only thing I miss from reddit at this point
Sometimes hamsters will just do that.
Keep rodents for long enough and you'll witness cannibalism.
Finally we know what animal the villans of the world reincarnate to
