Couldn't resist

Hammy the railway station hamster in hunt for owner

Hammy - which the vet looking after the rodent freely admits is a pretty generic name for a hamster - is thought to be around 12 months old so assuming he'll live for around two to three years, we've done the detailed maths and, in human years, we make him 27.

Despite having been through his experimental teenage stage and now entering the late 20s realm of long-term relationships, house buying and then, possibly, kids, Hammy's adventurous side still endures.
There's an adorable picture of him in the toilet paper tube.

PS Then there's the 3-ft-long boa constrictor found on a Boston subway train a month after her owner lost her. Glad she and Hammy weren't in the same station. I love the 'A commuter spotted Penelope the snake around 10:00 a.m. and alerted a train attendant at a Red Line station.' That was probably a surprise. Or not. It's the Boston subway, right?
