How would you feel, if you were attacked for no good reason - and had your bottom viciously bitten by your new neighbour?
Would you be:
(a)Hurt?
(b)Surprised?
(c)Vengeful?
This misfortune occurred, when our adult pet hamster was introduced to our neighbour's pre-teen hamster. Both are male and as anyone with hamsters knows, males DON'T get along.
But try telling that to 3 primary school aged children ever hopeful that their pets will bond and become BFFs (best friends forever in their lingo)
This was the second time this toothy young upstart had attacked our Smokey in this way. An apology would therefore not be forthcoming from this furry, unrepentant hooligan.
Had human justice existed in the animal kingdom then Ginger, that sharp-toothed culprit, might have had to do time at a juvenile detention centre for delinquent rodents.
Or, he might have been given 100 hours of community service, picking up the droppings, nuts, seeds and shells scattered by local wildlife litter bugs.
As it was, Ginger's run-free-in-the back garden grass privileges were immediately revoked. Whilst Smokey was given tons of sympathy, and, a smidgen of soothing, aloe-vera juice for both his pride and his man bits.
