Chloe on the lam again!

[mckitterick]

For the third time in her little rodent life, Chloe broke out of her little residence and explored the larger house. She pushed open the front gate again, then spent at least 8 hours roaming the downstairs, presumably sleeping behind the entertainment center. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her appear between speaker and furniture, so I leaped up and grabbed her, then returned her to her proper home... this time with a big paper clamp acting as a front-door lock.

Within five mintues, she had stuffed an entire bowl of food into her cheek pockets, rendering her virtually too wide to fit through her tube into her upstairs bedroom.

Hamsters.

I have had a series of rats (along with hamsters, gerbils, mice and guinea pigs) and most of them have been wonderful creatures, except for Hudson, truely One Bad Rat. He was quite the escape artist and got out of his cage (top door) on quite a few occasions, once staying free range for nearly a week. We finally resorted to keeping an unabridged dictionary on top of his cage, and sometimes he still got out.

Wow, he was able to budge a dictionary...? I fear for my hamster's continued captivity.

I wouldn't worry about little Chloe -- none of the other rodents I've had ever demonstrated such talents. Hudson was just bad. When he got out, he'd hide until someone sat down to read a book ro do homework and would then lunge out and nip them.

Chloe's pretty smart, all right. Also The Cutest Hamster Ever(tm)

See!? And you doubted that hamsters can be smart.

just wait till little Chloe grows big enough to break through the front door.

It's your own fault for naming her after Clark Kent's spunky reporter sidekick.
