It would appear that Hammy had gotten some tail by the riverbank.

I bet he works the night shift and kept feeding them after midnight. Let's hope to God that the animal shelters don't try to bathe them.

Wait he started off with one hamster? Did it divide or something, I hope the guy doesn't get any rabbits.

Has he never tried barbecued hamster on a stick?

How does one hamster make more? I mean, I have sex with myself all the time, but I've never gotten knocked up from it.

Hamsters can multiply very rapidly, but have problems with long division and algebra.

It was an already pregnant female, he didn't realize it was pregnant when he bought it. And the offspring got into a giant Habsburg group-fark.

Always use birth control when having sex with your hamster.

For the life of me I don't understand why rats are "ugly" and most other rodents "cute"...they all look the same if you ask me.

The original critter was pregnant when he got it. If he got it from a pet store, it's a very likely occurrence. Many pet stores don't separate the animals according to gender. Add to that, if he's unfamiliar with hamster reproduction, he probably didn't realize how quickly the little 'uns can start making little 'uns of their own. It's a matter of 3-4 weeks. And the litters are 6-12 babies at a time. It doesn't take long to hit the 94 count.

I got a female guinea pig from a pet store a few years back. Two weeks later, she started to swell and I knew she was pregnant. She had 4 babies. Fortunately, I was familiar with guinea pigs and knew that the boys needed to be separated out at 3 weeks of age, so I didn't end up with hordes of them.

"Man with poor understanding of biology calls for help after new pet hamster turns into 94 hamsters". . . after 5 years.

What is so amusing about an animal hoarder, subby? I'm just glad he realized that it was too much for him to handle before it turned into a real problem.

On one side, holy fark he waited until he had 94 to surrender them!? But, on the other hand, he took good care of them apparently, and asked for help when it became too much for him to handle. A lot better than it could have turned out.

/he could have gotten a cat

2012-01-16 09:23:17 AM
the man planned to take a cab to the shelter to turn over the hamsters.

I coulda told ya he didn't have a car. Probably can't drive one if he did. It takes a certain kind of person, and that's something they don't do.

/probably wore a cardigan and talked about his mama a lot, too
//I almost became this guy

Yep sounds like the original was pregger and like many rodents and especially small ones it's hard to sex then them so he missed a couple and then they had more. Rinse and repeat over 5 years and you get a lot of the little buggers. From the article he took good care of them but it had gotten beyond his capabilities to maintain. Which tells me he cared for the animals and wanted to look out for their interest but realized he was unable to do so. I admire his tenacity to keep at it and them in good help, but eh should have realized he was over his head long before now.

The hamster was little but a litter came later
So the little got more and more
The hamster was little but a litter came later
And the hamster turned to ninety-four-or

Methinks this fellow may not be entirely familiar with sexual reproduction.

Yes. Cats like hamster. Just ask my cat, Dusty. Youngest daughter heard him under her bed one morning right after she woke up and he came out in response to her going, "Here kitty, kitty." He turned his head to look up at her, revealing the hamster's head in his mouth.

When I was 10 or so, my mom thought what she got was a good deal at the local Doctor's Pet Shop at the mall. One mommy gerbil and two baby gerbils for the price of one gerbil. My mother thought I'd get a kick out of watching them grow. The teenager behind the counter SWORE that both babies were females.

A couple of months later, we brought about 100 gerbils back to the pet store, and I got a parakeet.

Rabbit manure is awesome for gardens. About the best there is.

Just saying. Print out some articles and you might be able to convince a garden geek friend to take a couple off of your hands. If you use the undyed recycled paper bedding you can just toss it all into a compost or into the garden straight in the fall.

Hamsters, in my experience, are terrible pets for children. Can't play with 'em. They bite and they're cannibals.
Rats have been much better pets for the kids. They can learn tricks, and come when you call them. Sure, it takes training, but at least they can be handled in order to do the training. They also seem to bite a lot less.

Although I wonder what 94 hamsters smell like, pew.

Gerbils are better. At a certain population density, they start killing and eating each other.
