Hamsters Don't Float

Yesterday's corner time: 12 Minutes.

This Hamster is causing me a lot of corner time.

The best thing about being 2.5 is that it’s a continuous voyage of discovery, although the learning curve is quite steep.

Take hamsters for instance, how was I supposed to know that they don’t float? They look like they will. After all, they’re only small and quite fluffy. But in reality, as I discovered yesterday, if you drop them in a fish tank, they'll sink like a stone.

Hammy is now sleeping with the fishes. So much for his stimulating, daytime activities. Although, it does illustrate the importance of learning to swim.

I’m not sure how I’m going to explain the drowning to the rest of my classmates.

Hamsters are rubbish.

Surely this post should be headlined "Hamster time"?

Can Hamsters tell the time?

"Hamsters Don't Float" was the title that kept popping into my head, I couldn't get away from it -so I went with that!

Just came across your blog in BOTB.

I love it. The daddy and the wasps story was my favourite

Thanks! My Dad is pleased that his irrational fear of wasps is proving so popular!!

Love your blog except for the unfortunate animal abuse part. I hope he doesn't get another pet until he's 16! Poor thing.

Boy you have your hands full!

No animals were harmed in the making of this blog. Honest!
