Hamster rescue

Poor Fudgie's still missing

Sue  

the pet disappeared down a hole in the kitchen floor.
Do many people have random holes in their kitchen floor big enough for a hamster to fall down?

It doesn't have to be a very big hole......think of how small a hamster is, also its squashability.

I have a hole in my hallway, but that's because quite often the stream that runs under the big farmhouse and exits just uphill of my front door travels beyond said front door, when it is absorbed by the hole/drain in the hall floor.....

Ah, the joys of country living!

Ok - Have you checked the hole in your floor for hamsters?  

Two more quick questions.... What were they doing with a hamster lose in the kitchen?  

And Suejoe - Why are we talking about hamsters on a spider thread?

I didn't like to start a new thread just for a lost hamster
and my spider thread is a sort of animal rescue thread so this was the best place for it.

I'm waiting for some old grump to say what a waste of time and money it was to send two fire crews out for a lost hamster  

My recent animal rescue attempts haven't been very successful    

I'll spare you the sordid details

I heard on the radio the other day about a pony who ate too many fermented apples, got drunk (it must have been an awful lot of apples!), fell into a swimming pool and had to be got out by the fire-brigade - the owner tried to make a "ladder" with straw bales (after the pool was emptied, presumably!) but the pony wasn't able to climb them so the fire brigade got her out with slings and a crane!!

The pony was fine afterwards, apart from a hangover and an aversion to water jumps.....


You could always try your skill on this one, suejoe! I posted this earlier.....

i am severely arachnophobic, to the point of waking up in a sweat having had a nitemare about spiders fairly regularly, and of having almost crashed my girlfriend's car once when i saw a spider on the windscreen  

last night i was sitting on the sofa watching tv and my girlfriend got back from shopping and all i hear as she walks through the front door is "oh my god, matt DO NOT come out here". knew immediately that it was spider related and stayed put. after about a minute i poke my head round the door to see that she has trapped a spider in a whisky glass. the thing is MASSIVE. it's legs are curled up and it is still barely contained in the width of the glass.

because of my "problem" we always have insect poison around the place so i can kill them from a distance. so, she sprayed a big puddle of that on the floor and then moved the glass over it. this thing WOULD NOT DIE. it went mental in its glass for about 5 minutes and then finally gave up the ghost and shrivelled up to die. even then, it was huge. i was so scared of it i checked the whole flat twice before going to bed last night.

i comma hate spiders.

I thought i was the only one.
A few years ago, someone walking into the office held his clenched fist out towards me. Me thinking, as it was a Monday, he was paying his lottery money for the week and opened up my palm. No he wasnt. He then dropped a spider into the palm of my hand, knowing full well i hate them. I ended up going into the gents to throw up.
Lovely bloke though but liked to play the odd trick.
He died a few years ago whilst working here. I think it was God punishing him.

Mt jnr

his name was Bert, so always have a look out for Berts Memory in his honour as he liked his gee gees

Seeing as your girlfriend was brave enough to put a glass over it couldn't she have put a card underneath and put the spider outside
instead of subjecting it to a painful death?

Poor spider
