We had one pet rat then my mom let me get another one of the opposite sex. Anyways we had really bad rat infestation before we sold that house.

At first i wondered how shitty the parachute must’ve been, but then I remembered that I had dwarf hamsters as a kid, not normal ones.
Also for some reason my mom made the mistake of getting a boy and a girl and they did exactly what you’d think. Except that the cage was too small for that many critters and the momma started eating the babies out of stress…

I witnessed the other side of that phenomenon. The babies at the mom.

I had that parachute action man, and I remember chucking him down a flight of stairs. Shitty, shitty parachute. The doll itself was surprisingly well made (I guess it was drop tested a lot during production?) but weighed a ton and the parachute was hilariously too small for it

Dont worry she didnt eat all of them! I think we had like 3 or 4 generations of inbred hamsters before we finally got a second cage and segregated them.
… as an adult i am staunchly against any “pet” that has to be kept in a cage or enclosure.

This happened when my brother and I got mice. He got a mouse, I decided I wanted a mouse. We forgot to check the gender…

Oh! The hamster mom. Not your mom.
Ok, that’s a bit less horrifying.
