Not yet. Just deciding whether or not it's a good idea. I might organise some kind of Krypton Factor for Rodents to see which one is the fittest.

Well, it's that time again folks.
After a bit of umming and ahhing, the missus went out and got two Chinese dwarf hamsters last year. The shop said they could live together. They couldn't - Groucho kept beating up Chico. So we split them. Shame because they were cute when they shared the wheel. Groucho sulked for a day then got on with it.
Fast forward a few months and Groucho has evolved into, well, a lunatic. I thought the last hamster had energy, but this one took it to a brand new level. Chico is a normal hamster, sleeping most of the time then pottering around.
Groucho though, was a 24/7 alert guy. Even in the middle of the day, if you walked into the room he would leap out of his bed and belt around, a little white blur on the wheel and clinging to the bars.
The last few days though he has been truly insane. On Saturday he spent the entire day on his wheel, and the night by the sound of it. A similar thing on Sunday. Monday and Tuesday he was awake when I left each morning, and awake when I got back each night. Yesterday I'm not so sure. I think he was awake in the morning. But last night, I just can't remember. It's really bugging because I feel as if I should have noticed.
This morning I went to check on them and the silence from his cage was very conspicuous. After checking in his little house he was lying there motionless and cold. No mess, no sign of pain, quite peaceful really.
It's very odd. It's almost like over the last few days he's run himself into the ground and had a heartattack or something. Less than a year old.
Never quite met a hammy like Groucho. A little sod who beat up his mates and tried to bite everyone, but a total livewire who was hilarious to watch.
