okay, is there a way for me to put a poll in this thread? I don't think so but I may be wrong.
For whoever asked how it happened, it's a really shitty story. This lady was asking about a coupon and went to put a 10 lb. bag of dog treats on top of our hamster tank. What she failed to realize is that the tank doesn't have a top. The yet to be named hamster was enjoying a little lunch in the food dish when the treats crushed him wile e coyote style. He's only about 7 weeks old, so his bones aren't really stronger than a person't fingernail would be so he suffered some kind of spinal cord injury and that adds up to him never being able to use his legs. he usually drags them but sometimes they will flop a little bit. It's really sad but it's hard not to laugh at him at the same time. He doesn't seem to be in pain anymore and he does all of the normal things that hamsters do. mainly he just sleeps a lot and digs. I'm going to get him a wheel and one of those little hamster balls because even though he can't really go nuts on either of them, he needs exercise more than most hamsters do because he has a lot more potential to gain weight.
I can't believe this thread made it to 3 pages. The hamster is happy to accept the nomination as official 12oz mascot.
