It's not healthy to keep a hamster in its cage all the time... As long as the area is safe, it's good for hamsters to be able to run free once every day or so
just cause he was "fine" doesn't mean that he was ******** himself terrified or that you actually should. plus how do you know he was hamsters hide their injuries
That causes severe stress and probably shortened your hamster's lifespan

I gave my hamster baths all the time. Nothing happened to him and he lived almost 6 years which is pretty good considering their average lifespan is 2-4 years, so no bathing hamsters doesn't kill them.
I found the original FML on the French site (it's from 2011, but easy to find since it's the latest illustrated one) and the OP did follow up. He says the hamster was fine, the incident just gave everyone a fright.
If they get sucked in head or tail first they'll probably survive. However, if the vacuum was applied to the middle of their back, they may have gotten folded in half.
Snap, Krackle, Pop, dead hamster.

75, they do if their hamster has dust on its back.

if they're vacuuming their hamster, I don't think they're thinking "who vacuums a cage?"

Well, you actually can't give hamsters baths. It'll kill them. Can't say a vaccuum is a good alternative, though. :(

When I was younger I gave my teddy bear hamster baths. He was fine.

I'm really curious as to how that worked out. You'd think a hamster would be to heavy to get picked up by a vacuum. That or my vacuum is just shitty

I agree; this FML definitely deserves a follow-up!

Poor little hamster. That's a terrible way to go (if it didn't survive).
