Hammy the Hamster goes on the attack

At first I thought this was parody, or perhaps a joke. Apparently some should prepare also for the dangerous hamsters that run amok in some cities.

Mum-of-two, 38, collapses and dies after being attacked by pet HAMSTER in home

A MUM-of-two has died after being bitten by her pet hamster. The 38-year-old collapsed outside a hospital after rushing there with her two children, aged 11 and 17. She had been bitten by the roden…

I wonder if it had fangs? Maybe it’s one of those rattle hamsters that has fur instead of scales!

A Holy Hand Grenade is needed I think.

My money is on George Floyd levels of fentanyl in her system.

I do like the memories that this story brings up of that old movie about killer shrews though (Attack of the Killer Shrews?).

I am thinking she was retrieving her trained Columbian drug courier assassin pigs as they smuggled dope across the border and it attacked. It was probably mad about her eating cuy, a Columbian delicasy of Guinea pig, who was his mother.

But that's just a guess.

hamsters eat thier poop for nutrients...hamsters also humans can get anything from a hamster bite...

hantavirus is also a possibility.

Can you get hantavirus from hamsters?


All rodents, pet and wild, can carry bacteria and viruses that cause infections in people. Rodent infections that can transmit to humans include leptospirosis, hantavirus, rat-bite fever and a type of meningitis caused by a virus called lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus ( LCMV ).Nov 9, 2023


Hamster Bites

Infection is usually caused by commensal bacteria from the hamster's mouth or the skin of the person bitten. While rare, rabies, Francisella tularensis, and potentially lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, can be transmitted by a bite from an infected hamster.

Only people i ever knew that kept rats fed them to snakes.

This is clearly Natural Selection at its best. If it wasn't hamsters, it would have been nuts or gluten. Her ancestors managed to avoid the saber tooth tigers and 10,000 years later…

saber toothed hamsters Simon? good catch, missed that possibility.

This danger is real. I am going to use this case to justify the purchase of another firearm. My wife can't question my purchase under these dire circumstances!

Probability experienced an allergic reaction and went into full blow anaphylactic shock.

Hope they didn't put "death by Hamster" in the Obit.

May have arrived in a shipment of bananas, and since hammy was furry and cute it didn’t get squashed. Goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished.
