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

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, I showed my family my new pet hamster. At the sight of him, my grandmother, who I had no idea hated rodents, let out a loud screech, causing my usually docile hamster to bite me and piss in my cupped hand. FML
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
Today, I woke up to one of my hamsters cannibalizing the other. FML
Today, I thought my hamster might be lonely, so I went to the pet shop and bought a new one to keep him company. The new hamster killed the old one. 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, my mom wanted to surprise me by buying me a hamster. When I got into her car, I was actually surprised and even said, "Hi" to the hamster. When we got home, the hamster was dead. FML
Today, I was looking after a hamster for a friend. My dog ate it. 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.

Relax guys, the OP obviously didn't know and no one's perfect. That sucks though. Hamsters are pretty picky and sometimes eat their young even if you don't touch them.

You should probably learn things about the kinds of animals you decide to buy and look after. Just saying.

I agree with #26. Hamster babies are pretty ugly. And it's alright if you didn't know not to touch it. Now you do. If any of your friends have hamsters, tell them that. It's common knowledge though... However, like I said before, it's alright if you didn't know. You're not expected to know everything. Next time just pick up a book or read information on the internet before allowing your pets to breed. ;]

Well YDI since you shouldn't mess with newborns of other species. Plus the FML sounds more like its cause of your new nickname, which isn't much of an FML or far off from the truth. Ultimately though, it's your parents fault for not teaching such an important lesson, and if they are calling you 'Hamster Slaughterer' then FYL for having retarded parents.

I agree with 27. Seriously, just because some of you are ******* animal whisperers doesn't mean the OP was going to be. A number of things could of happened like he/she didn't realize she was preggers or the pet belonged too a sibling or the whole family. Hamsters are just like rats. It amazes me how people care so much more about animals than humans. I for one didn't know that you couldn't touch baby hamsters. big ******* deal. Can't blame the OP because hamsters are disgusting.

you should have read about that you cant touch them in the beginning because if you do the mother wont recongize their child and eat them; so dont blame the mother its your fault for changing their sent! wow after all the work you just had to!

Are you ******* retarded. If you touch any animals babies it will neglect it and the mother will kill it because she will no longer recognize it'. You desrved that 100%. I don't know why people clicked that your life is ****** up. RETARD.
