Today, my hamster gave birth. The babies were very cute and I couldn't resist petting one. Apparently touching a baby hamster will cause it's mother to reject and devour it. I am now know in my family as "The Hamster Slaughterer." FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my hamster had babies. I came home just in time to witness her kick the mutilated bodies of her two babies out of her house, then crawl back in and go to sleep. Now my sister refuses to touch her and calls her a "baby-eating demon." FML

Today, my sister brought her class hamster home from school. Somehow it escaped from its cage, and ran into my room. My boyfriend, thinking it was a mouse, stomped on it. I'm stuck cleaning hamster guts from my carpet, and have to explain to a kindergarten class what happened to their pet. FML

Today I was born, and this strange creature towered over my mother and my siblings, and touched one of my siblings. Later my mother decided to eat the sibling that the creature touched. Now I am terrified of being petted. FML

I'm sorry to hear that. I honestly didn't know that fact either. I don't blame you because you didn't know and therefore didn't purposely do it.

#162, I think animal abuse is terrible, and yes I agree that they should be treated with respect, but COME ON! Humans are far more precious than some dumb animal. If you had to choose between your son and your dog, who would you pick? Seriously.

DUDE! I feel you on that one. My hamster gave birth to like 5 of them when i was 8, I didn't know that either and I took all of them out cause the mom was running with them in the wheel. Then when I put them back in, she ate them all. I had to clean the skins out of the cage -.-

As far as I know I dont know many poeple that sit there and do research on their animals having babies. (only types i know is people that actually breed for money etc) Only because animals have their kids on their own if they want with no human help, yeah research in to how to take care of them but then again the mother does that for the babies themselves. I've never done it and all my animal's babies were perfectly fine. So just because one mistake the person is a jackass? I dont get it. I honestly did not know that hamsters did that. I heard of animals rejecting their young but not devouring them.

At least it wasn't another family's hamster. That would really be an FYL.
