More Hamsters than you ever thought you would hear about in one paragraph...

Well, I figure I should probably write some entertaining things if I ever want to get followers and fans of my blog. So, here is a little story for you guys.
I bought some fish the other day. They are sitting in the tank in the living room, refusing to eat yet refusing to die, floating at the top barely breathing but I cannot bring myself to kill the poor things, that seems almost heartless. So, I keep checking on them and encouraging them, and even singing to them when nobody else is around, hoping that they will muster up the courage to actually swim around. I mean, hey, they're guppies for gosh sake. They are not bettas. They should actually swim around. (In case you don't know, bettas are those pretty finned fish that everyone wants to buy from the stores that they keep in separate little containers and they hardly ever move around much. They are not active fish. But guppies are!) My friend has guppies and all they do is swim around and eat all the time and reproduce. Over and over and over again. Guppies are crazy like that. Kind of like hamsters. My friend with the guppies also had a lot of hamsters at one point. Fourteen of them, to be exact. When she got them, they thought they were both boys, but the pet store or whoever they got them from was very wrong. One was a girl, and one day they found she was pregnant! A few days later they found lots of babies! So boom! Fourteen hamsters, and they only had a cage big enough for two! The mother hamster was one of the stupidest hamsters, too. My friend told me that the mom would take all the babies into the hamster wheel with her and just run, letting them tumble around like they were in a clothes dryer. Eventually, my friend's parents realized that they did not have enough room for all the hamsters, so they released them in the forest by her grandma's house. No trying to find other owners for them, buying a bigger cage, or anything sensible like that. Nope, their solution was to release them into the wild! Smart, huh? Reminds me of the other time when they released goldfish into the pond behind their house and a few weeks later the entire pond was gold...
