We used to buy the smallest rats to save them from people who fed them to snakes, LOL!

>Not quite clear in the story if the kid ended up ok or not..

"... fells boy" usually means he died. Especially when it says "Treatment with the antibiotic amoxicillin-clavulanate failed to clear up the condition"

You are right though, it does speak illusively.

I've been bitten by a hamster....dogs, a cat, and plenty of bugs too. But nothin' hurt worse than be chomped on by a donkey. (That's because they don't bite, they grind.)

A bite from a ticked-off parrot can be pretty impressive -- they have beaks like wire-cutters, and can *really* clamp down. They're built to carve nests by chewing nesting holes into the wood of tree trunks, so you can picture what they can do to flesh. Pet parrots like to shred pine blocks the way that dogs like to chew rawhide.

I never could decide if they named those things after a sneeze or after - I don't know!

"Although tularemia has been associated with hamster hunting in Russia, it has not been associated previously with pet hamsters in the United States"

I wonder if my Mozin-Nagant rifle came from a tularemia stricken dead hamster hunter from Russia?

(I'm trying not to laugh here....)
Please, somebody warn the Viking Kitties not to munch on any stray hamsters :o)

No....but when I lived in Europe the candy man came by daily with his cart and donkey. I always was more interested in the animals than candy!

Yeah, I was wondering what happened to the kid, too.
