I didn't give the up-arse crawling Super-Spider the name 'Pinwig', that was... well I forget who it was even though I just read it a few minutes ago... I think it may actually have been The Doctor... which is kind of ironic really... BUT ANYWAY! I'm an innocent! I am simply, the messenger... Strike not your wrath at me, Pinus-Wigus! *Swishes toga*

Plus they are essentially clones of each other. I thought it was aphids where they were all genetically identical? Do stick insects do that too? Karl |

Woken by the sound of Jonathan and Liz moving about, fearing J had been ill, I got up.....
J had woken at c2am complaining of hearing scratching noises. Fearing a post DW nightmare Liz calmed him and sent him back to bed. When the noises continued, further investigation revealed the Hamster had escaped downstairs and made his way up to Jonathan's room to build a nest! Liz found him in the middle of the living room.
When I got up she went back downstairs and found Geoff the hamster had got out AGAIN! I came downstairs to find Geoff, pouches stuffed as full as he could manage, attempting to come back UP stairs!
He was returned to the cage and the escape route plugged!

We once looked after the Nursery Hamster over a half term or something. Left for a day-out, Gordon was fine. Came back home, cage empty. Absolutely nowhere to be seen. A day went by, no sign. Didn't think he could get out the house... Much consoling of children. Let the nursery teachers know. I'm not a pet person. I do it for the children. So, seeing the concern and anguish caused, I began to feel, err, dissatisfaction over the situation. Days passed. Mrs Shocks and I were braced for the inevitable. Then, late one evening, I turn a corner, there's the little, chap, sat looking at me in the middle of the room. Hamster was quickly scooped up and placed under house-arrest. Such fun.

HAA! Sadly, no. No I didn't. Such was my... dissatisfaction with the creature. It deserved no pop-culture glory.

Is it just me, or does Big Phil seem to be creating an army of super-intelligent pet animals? World conquest? Hmmmm?

Hamsters are all serial escapers. It seems to be a thing in the species genes. When I was a kid we had Dusty, who actually managed to shear through a corner bar and push it out of the way to escape his cage. He was succeeded by Snoopy, who learned how to pop the top-hatch open and simply pull himself up and out of the door of his cage.
Both of them were obsessed with climbing up onto the curtain rails as well - more than once they were found cockily sitting up there with a "I can climb this. You can't." kind of expression.
