Today, my new roommate decided to put his pet hamster in the same cage as my beloved hamster. Apparently he wanted them to make hamster babies. They are both males. His hamster attacked mine and tore it to pieces. I just finished cleaning up the mess. FML
I agree, your life sucks (26376) - you totally deserved it (1058)

Well it's kinda obvious that would happen either way. Also, shouldn't HE have cleaned it up considering his the only one with a hamster left.
That's terrible! ;-; I'm so sorry. You shouldn't have had to clean it!! I love my rodents and I just couldn't imagine something like this..
Your roommate has no business owning pets himself, but he definitely owes you a new hamster!
he should have knew that and do you mean she not he unless you a g uy too

Moment of silence for the poor hamster.....your roommate sucks. He should have known that you had a male hamster. He's not a good roommate...once again, I'm sorry for your loss.

There is no reason why another animal should be killed for revenge. That is absolutely horrible. I'm all for the OP taking the roommate's hamster and keeping him as his own though.
OP that does suck, your roommate should have asked to a) let them share a cage and b) check to make sure you were okay with hamster babies, since he didn't bother to check what your hamsters' sex was.
Wow, people like you should be strung up. Why hurt another animal because of a human mistake? I hope you get stuck up an elephants arse crack and die of suffocation and methane inhalation.
Fucktard.
Sorry for your loss OP, it's awful to lose pets so I'm very sorry this happened.

Hey, that's like what happened with my friends 2 gerbils. One ate the other one's face off. It was gross.
#12 - On 10/11/2009 at 5:23pm by IamSpartacus
Man, your roommate's hamster's hardcore! :D
Sorry about your hamster, though. Poor little guy... ;o;

Look on the bright side. Hamsters eat their babies when they're disturbed (it happened to mine, twice).
Chances are, in the case that they actually produced offspring, your roommate (who seems very uneducated in hamstorial behavior) would just mess it up and cause that to happen. It's better to have only your hamster die than an entire litter, right?

This is why your hamster should be tricked out in this manner: http://i35.tinypic.com/346t5w0.jpg

LAWL, who would EVER do that. Never-mind, apparently that person.
#18 - On 10/11/2009 at 5:36pm by SoreThroat
Why didn't you stop them from fighting, asshole? Hamster fights are intense, but not so intense that your pet would be torn to shreds, as if it were torn apart by a pitbull or something. Also, hamster testicles are insanely large. Your friend would have been able to see your hamster's huge ball sack dragging from behind him. There's no way he mistook your hamster for a girl, or vice versa.
#17 - On 10/11/2009 at 5:34pm by wilshires1
Obviously, her room-mate's hamster was infected with the T-Virus. That's why her pet was torn to shreds. But if that were the case, her hamster being mauled is the least of her worries...
#20 - On 10/11/2009 at 5:47pm by allmidnighteyes
You apparently have no idea how vicious rodents can get, or how dumb people can be in this world.
I've owned a total of 8 hamsters throughout my life and two of them were so vicious and blood thirsty towards the others that they had to have their own cage so it wouldn't kill my sister's hamster.
And some idiots assume the ball sack on a male hamster is simply what it's suppose to look like, male or female. Trust me, I've seen plenty of people who think like that.
Hahaha, ever seen rat balls? They look like fucking tumors, as someone on NotAlwaysRight stupidly thought. Oh, when we got our rats to dissect in class, I could only think "damn, this guy woulda been a total bull"
But yeah, rodents can get vicious, but ever think when the OP said "torn to pieces" they didn't mean it literally? I mean, usually people don't mean it literally when they say something like "torn to pieces," "shredded," "torn to ribbons" etc...
Certainly the hamster is dead though.

Actually #27, I am not dumb, if you want to get technical, I doubt you will believe me, but I am 23 years old and I have had hamsters my whole life, starting when I was 5 (a total of 46, I breed them occasionally) and I am going to stick by what I said earlier.
Hamsters can be fighters, but they aren't bloodthirsty or anything. They are mainly scared when they fight and just want it to be over. Someone can break up a hamster fight easy by sticking a pencil or something between them. The fact that this even happened it stupid.
And #23, I guess I don't know how stupid people can be, I've never met a moron that can mistake a dragging sack off of the back of a rodent for a female. I'm sorry you have met people like that.
#71 - On 10/12/2009 at 9:03am by wilshires1
Uh, yeah, I'm going to go ahead and agree by saying that hamsters can be vicious like any other animal, but not so vicious that they can't be separated in a fight. They are HAMSTERS. Not even as big as your hand. And this fight had to have been going on for a long time for one to "tear the other into shreds."
I'm also going to agree with wilshires and say that there is no way anyone could miss the huge balls on a male hamster for a female. The OP's roommate is a moron.
#72 - On 10/12/2009 at 9:09am by just_me_tmp
actually, sometimes the balls are small and very hard to spot.
and ouch... umm... HAMSTERS ARE VERY VIOLENT WHEN THEY WANT TO BE.
She probably couldn't separate them because she didn't get home until her hamster was already dead! If she had noticed the roommate putting his hamster into her hamster's cage and seen that they didn't get along I'm sure she would have intervened...
#75 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:32am by Puolukka
I'm sure the OP's roommate could have separated them- unless that's what he thought a hamster mating ritual looked like.
#76 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:42am by wilshires1
If he was stupid enough to throw them in together, I wouldn't doubt he'd be dumb enough to think hamster mating rituals are similar to the tasmanian devils'
#81 - On 10/12/2009 at 10:48pm by DameGreyWulf
i'm so sorry ):
it's like that with every animal, basically.
if they dont grow up around each other, they probably wont enjoy too much close contact.
D:
then you put the remains on his pillow.
along with a note saying, "i want a new hamster"
#28 - On 10/11/2009 at 6:04pm by beachy__keen
Wtf is wrong with you? Kill another innocent animal to what, make up for the death of another innocent animal? You're a moron. Go swim to Japan.
#85 - On 10/16/2009 at 7:14am by gothicwench
Male or Female, a hamster will still probably attack unless they're both in the mood. The female may still attack the male afterward :fiesty!!:. That was an idiot move by your roommate. Shoulda made him clean it up.
Poor hamster.
Jesus. Some of those fuckers have serious Roid Rage. Get that lil feller an exercise ball.
Sorry about your pet :[
I'm sorry :( I once had to go through something like that, though it was my sister's cat who got to it. It was a sad morning.
#37 - On 10/11/2009 at 6:34pm by Sun_Kissed18
If you videotaped that you coulda made a fortune. by the way how can anyone get attached to a hamster?
Because, unlike you, they have souls. You are clearly made from Satan's squat loaf so go decorate the motorway.
#86 - On 10/16/2009 at 7:16am by gothicwench
Thats horrible. I would totally flip if someone did that to my pet hamster. Do you have to keep him as your roomate?
is it actually a huge deal?
buy a new hamster.
you should have made your roommate clean the mess, though
I work as the animal caretaker in a pet store, and I'll be the first to say the majority of people are completely stupid when it comes to owning a hamster. Sorry about your pet :(
#57 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:04pm by rothenb
If you do a little research, you'll find that hamsters are SOLITARY creatures. It's too bad your roommate didn't know about that :(
#58 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:06pm by chickenfeetyum
That's terrible! Why couldn't he just ask you and buy a female hamster? There's so many FMLs where people have horrible roommates...
#59 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:38pm by scarletdragonfly
Should have mixed the sperm and used a surrogate...sometimes I wonder about today's youth...
#60 - On 10/11/2009 at 9:49pm by spazzyjazzy27
Awe. I'm terribly sorry, at least he had good intentions. They only cost three dollars anyway.
#61 - On 10/11/2009 at 10:12pm by DiscoBallRenee
Dud,e I totally had that happen once. I had a hamster, my brother had a hamster. The two hamsters CHEWED OFF EACHOTHER"S LEGS!!!!!
I was freakin' ten years old and I still remember the horror.
#63 - On 10/11/2009 at 10:54pm by alwaysalady
i had a roomate that put his beta fish into my fish tank. when i woke up 2 fish were floating dead a third was mssing an eye, and a fourth was missing BOTH eyes. i knew somthing fishy happened.

You know what they say about people taking after their pets. Have fun waiting for the day when your roommate mutilates you with a knife in your sleep. ;)
A.)Should've raised your hamster to be more badass
B.)Hamsters are gay pets anyway.
#78 - On 10/12/2009 at 2:40pm by brainstewdgeek
I guess your hamster was the bottom. Your roomates hamster needed to fully appreciate making your hamster his bitch so he just killed him after, as a way of making him feel "manly" again.
How do you mistake a male hamster for a female? They have balls the size of chicken eggs
#82 - On 10/13/2009 at 1:32am by mrdude1977
My black bear hamster uses his balls as pillows. It's funny to watch.
#91 - On 10/20/2009 at 12:57pm by wilshires1
i love how people are having an argument over hamster testicles. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
