HLF Fan Mail


Fellow Hamster Freedom Fighters

I write to you from Old London Town England. I have ordered a bundle of HLF Hats for myself & others as is the Christmas Gift that just keeps giving. Is it possible you can mail me a high res image of the Che Hamster poster so I may print it out & stick it in my window.

Recently we where attacked by the the dreaded clawed ones, but we did manage to repel the attack before they got the inner sanctum of Hubert (A most fat but cunning hamster with a pungent aroma that has a hint of Old Spice). The picture attached is one the evil clawed ones being taken prisoner during the recent assault on Hubert. Please feel free to place it on your website - do let me know if you do so I may view. If you could credit it to me as my friends (I am 35 & a company director) think I am one prize arse.

If you could send me that file I would be very happy.

Keep fighting comrades.

Dear TN&CL: 

WE HAVE A WINNER! 

You, my feathered friend, are the 100th person to ask such a question!  As the recipient of such a prestigious accomplishment, you are hereby entitled to more than our standard response.   

Are you ready?  Do you have the drool-guard firmly installed over your keyboard?  Good.  Here we go! 

***RESPONSE #1

That's *so* interesting, because we were just wondering how low of an IQ a person could have and still be technically entitled to use the term "human" to define themselves.  It appears as though you have shattered all of our previous speculations!  Congratulations!!! 

***RESPONSE #2

We were wondering if your parents knew you were using their email account.  Won't they be surprised to learn that their little "angel" has been on the computer and sending nice email messages on their business and/or personal account to strangers? 

***RESPONSE #3

This is *your* account?  How INTERESTING.  Are you still selling that tugboat?  You know the one:  http://seaandsail.free.fr/bateaux%20wooden%20ships.html/fiches%20others%20boat/bo-abundance.html

***RESPONSE #4

Why don't you provide the URL to your website so we can email you out of the blue, ask stupid questions, and generally waste your time? 

***RESPONSE #5

Perhaps you would have found us to be in a better mood and more receptive to your witless attempt at humor if you had been the first subliterate simpleton to pose such a question.  You should probably stick with your consumption of alcohol in its various forms and telling amusing anecdotes involving yourself, a waffle, and 3 large gentlemen named "Bubba"--you are obviously much more suited for such entertainment and we're SURE the circle of slack-jawed acquaintances in which you circulate like a bottom-feeding parasite will continue to enjoy the variations of the tale. 

***RESPONSE #6 (and our most common response):

A "re-education" team will be dispatched to your location immediately.  You are invited never to visit our site again. 

We hope you have enjoyed your most prestigious award!  Feel free never to darken our inbox again!

Dear Sir or Madam,
 
Please can you advise who I should contact to ask permission to include http://www.hamsterliberationfront.com in the Only-Yellow-Pages online directory.
 
There is no charge, but we do need their permission.

Thanking you in anticipation,
 
Sally Hardaker
Assistant Content Editor

 

Dear Sally:

Thank you for your interest in listing the Hamster Liberation Front in the Only-Yellow-Pages online directory.  The person to whom you should have addressed your email correspondence is Che Hamstera himself; only he can authorize inclusion of the Hamster Liberation Front in the Only-Yellow-Pages online directory.  Unfortunately, Che Hamstera is away from the office at this time; and, in fact, he did specify that no one was allowed to authorize the Hamster Liberation Front to be included in the Only-Yellow-Pages online directory in his absence.  However, I will be more than happy to print your email correspondence and place it in an "action" folder in his inbox on his desk for his review upon his return.

Having worked with Che Hamstera since his start in the Hamster Liberation Front and knowing him the way I do, I know he will have several questions he will want answered before he authorizes you to include the Hamster Liberation Front in the Only-Yellow-Pages online directory.  If I may, I will ask the pertinent questions of you now so that he can have the answers in front of him upon his return.

Are you ready?  Great!

QUESTION #1:  Why do we not find the name of "Sally Hardaker" in the directory of "TEAM" members for only.com?  Do they not appreciate the unique contribution you bring to the "TEAM"?  In fact, we noticed the "TEAM" has only males listed on the website.  It appears as though this may either be a gross oversight, unfair hiring practices, or simply gender discrimination. We advise you to review your position with the company and contact an attorney with experience in discrimination matters if you feel it is necessary.

QUESTION #2:  Our organization is a rodential terrorist organization; do you have category listings for us?  We won't have to be lumped in with "traditional" and/or "human" terrorist groups, will we?

QUESTION #3:  Our organization is also a worldwide one; that is, we have offices all over the world.  We notice you do not show a grouping for "WORLD"; how can you accomodate our truly global structure without having to spend money (you indicated above that we could be listed without charge but your FAQ states the only way to do a global listing is to purchase a premium listing)?

QUESTION #4:  Did you actually visit our site before sending us an unsolicited advertisement?  It just seems odd that you would seek out a
reputed terrorist organization (albeit rodential terrorism, aimed at equal rights for rodents everywhere) given the current global climate.

QUESTION #5:  We have a question about the type of information allowed in your "free" listings.  Your FAQ states, "Free listings consist of : Business name, Address, City, Zip, Tel and Fax."  Here's our problem:

  • Business Name:  The Hamster Liberation Front

  • Address, City, Zip:  We do not disclose this; being a rodential terrorist organization means we really don't advertise our physical address.

  • Tel:  We are currently without telephone service at the HLF HQ.  It's a sordid story, but suffice it to say that one of our new agents (who is now one of our FORMER agents) ran up an extremely large telephone bill with calls to 1-900-SEXY-RAT.  The telephone company will not restore service until the bill is paid in full; unfortunately, we've gone to court to force the perverted FORMER agent to pay for it himself.  We're not sure when we will get service restored, so we really can't list our telephone number at this time.

  • Fax:  See "Tel" above.

Thus, our current method of spreading the word of Rodential Rights to the world is through our website and the fliers our agents leave at their local shopping centers.  If we cannot list our website, what good will listing our "Business Name" do?  Are you saying, then, that we would be forced to purchase an "Enhanced" or "Executive" listing?

QUESTION #6a:  Would you please remove our email address from your mailing lists?

QUESTION #6b:  If you will not remove our email address from your mailing lists, may we use the method of permanent banning described in your FAQ? ("Whilst it might seem a good idea to flood directories with your listings, it actually has the reverse effect as it diminishes the value to visitors searching. We therefore take a very serious view on multiple entries. Entries are checked by human editors each night and the posting of excessive or duplicated entries will cause all your entries to be void, all your data removed and your email and URL banned from further listings.")

QUESTION #6c:  You don't have any rodents checking entries each night, do you?

We're going to take the liberty of cc'ing everyone listed on the "Contact Us" page of Only.com to make sure our message is heard.  Again, thank you for your interest; I'll pass your request to Che Hamstera just as soon as we get your responses to the questions above.

With Hopes of a Rodent Revolution,

Okay, now we'll admit we didn't actually respond to this next one... we just thought it was really cool.

If you are a time traveler or alien disguised as human and or have the technology to travel physically through time I need your help!

My life has been severely tampered with and cursed!! I have suffered tremendously and am now dying!

I need to be able to:

  • Travel back in time.Rewind my life including my age back to 4.

  • Be able to remember what I know now so that I can prevent my life from being tampered with again after I go back.

I am in very great danger and need this immediately!

I am aware that there are many types of time travel, and that humans do not do well through certain types.

I need as close to temporal reversion as possible, as safely as possible. To be able to rewind the hands of time in such a way that the universe of now will cease to exist. I know that there are some very powerful people out there with alien or government equipment
capable of doing just that.

If you can help me I will pay for your teleport or trip down here, Along with hotel stay, food and all expenses. I will pay top dollar for the equipment. Proof must be provided.

Please be advised that any temporal device that you may employ must account for X, Y, and Z coordinates as well as the temporal location.  I have a time machine now, but it has limited abilitys and is useless without a vortex. If you can provide information on how to create vortex generator or where I can get some of the blue glowing moon crystals this would also be helpful.

Also if you are one of the very, very, few beings with the ability to edit the universe PLEASE REPLY!!!


Only if you have this technology and can help me please send me a (SEPARATE) email to:  <address deleted>@aol.com

Please do not reply if your an evil alien!
Thanks

Dear Aly,

 Thank you for your email.  We regret to inform you that you have misinterpreted the purpose of our site.  We are, unfortunately, not interested in selling cute posters of knitting mice or cats waiting to eat rodents; such capitalistic motives are furthest from our belief structure.  If you only had some posters of revolutionary rodents to sell (e.g., rodents burning fields of catnip, mice sneaking in to free caged comrades, hamsters blocking the roads of capitalistic Fat Cats with the wheels torn from their habitrails, etc.), we could consider becoming an affiliate of your site.  What's more, our visitors are usually on the run from the federales themselves and have little discretionary cash to spare (we could show you our own retail sales accounts to verify this).  Often, in fact, we receive our members' dues payments in the form of cheese and/or food pellets.  

But I digress.  Thank you for thinking of us when sending out your spam, but we will pass on this opportunity. We do invite you to visit our site and explore our pages to learn more of our message, vision, and mission.  Remember:  It is only through the freeing of our caged comrades that we can truly free ourselves. 

VIVA LES RODENTS!

 looking for Rav, seen her?

 Dear Tim: 

No, I haven't seen Rav lately... at least not since that fateful night. 

I don't think any of us will be the same after that night; do you?  I dream of it sometimes, in the early morning hours when all is still.  What strikes me most is the image of apple blossoms falling to the ground.  I still can't walk the old orchard without stopping upon the crest of the hill--you know the one--and shedding a tear for the lost innocence of youth and the onset of maturity in this all-too hurly-burly world of ours. 

 In some ways, though, I'm glad that night came... it was forthcoming for some time; no one could deny it was time.  And, yet, I wish we could blame it on the alcohol, the fermented cheese, or even the night winds that blew from parts unknown... but, alas, we can only blame--and hail--ourselves.  In our communal heart of hearts, we must take responsibility for all that passed on that night and shine the light of a new dawn upon our deeds, reluctant though we may be to do so.

 I guess I could and should change my initial answer.  Have I seen Rav?  Yes--in each puddle of water after a rainstorm, in each snowflake that caresses my cheek, in the flight of sparrows, and in the passing clouds.

 Thank you, my friend, for memories of an unforgetable time.

 Sincerely,

Why is it that your site doesn't mention rats- one of the most intellegent and best kind of pet amounst all the rodents?? good idea for the site, i'd support it, but rats should have equal rights too.

Dear CD:

We are offended that you would miss our obvious, blatant, and frequent references to rats.  Do you not consider rats to be "household rodential friends"?  And in our call for equal rights for all rodents, wouldn't that include rats?  HOW DARE YOU SUGGEST WE WOULD NEGLECT SUCH AN IMPORTANT PORTION OF THE RODENT POPULATION?

Actually, we tend to focus more on hamsters and gerbils because (a) our original charter was to stop the foul practice of gerbiling, which doesn't seem to affect as many rats as gerbils, for obvious naming reasons, and (2) rats are actually in charge of everything and, therefore, are not as susceptible to being oppressed as other "cuter" rodents.  Trust us on this one.

Thank you very much for your considerate email.  We hope you can continue to enjoy our website and please feel free to contact us again if you have any other concerns.

 Dear Stephanie:

 I apologize for the delay in this response--we have been on the run since the Homeland Security Police Force raided our HLF Sub-HQ in late February (we believe the purpose of the raid was to gain access to our stockpiles of hamster dropping bombs--which we completely deny keeping and/or hiding from the UN inspectors--as long as they don't check the shed out back or underneath the secret floor in the basement).  It would appear as though the deadline of which you spoke has passed; I hope everything turned out well, despite our lack of timely response.  If not, then I will hope with you that your beloved Princess will escape her captors and make her way back to you.

 Good luck in your future endeavors.

I love your site!  I have Guinea Pigs that my sister thinks are evil and it is wonderful to find a site that doesn't discriminate against the rodents of the world.  My sister claims that the "gophers" (as she likes to call them) are plotting to take over the world.  She hasn't trusted me very much since I got my babies and she likes to call me a "Gopher Lover" or "The Evil Gopher Queen".  I will have to try to keep HLF a secret from my sister so she doesn't try to oppose you by forming her own little organization to destroy Hamsterdom. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much!  There are times, in the dark of the tunnels through which we scurry to avoid the oppressive government crackdown on
revolutionary organizations, that we stop and wonder whether it is worth it... whether our resolve is as strong as Che Hamstera's... whether we are worthy enough to continue this campaign... and then we receive a letter such as yours and it reminds us of our most noble calling.  And for that, we thank you.

May the bounties of the cheeseboard be yours.

From: "Family in need" <allyssa1955@netscape.net>

Dear Sir/madam

I got your contact from an email directory and decided to contact you for  assistance. I am the son of Jonas Savimbi the rebel leader in Angola who was short dead on the 25th of February, 2002, by the opposing Angolan Army.

... PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT THIS WEB PAGE FOR IT SAYS ALL.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/world/africa/newsid_1839000/1839252.stm

Before the death of my father he had transferred the sum of $16,000,000.00 (Sixteen million dollars) through a security company in South Africa to Europe.
 
All the legal documents for the deposit and transfer of this fund to Europe are with my mother which my father gave to her for safe keeping.

After the death of my father I and my family fled to South Africa where we  are currently living. And we have been trying to fly to Europe but it has been difficult for us to get visas from Africa. So we want you to help us make claims of this fund ($16m) in Europe as my family beneficiary and transfer the money to your account or any account of your choice before I and my family can get visas to fly down to your country so that we can share this money. My family have agreed to give you 10%, which would be ($1.6Million dollars) of this Money for your assistance, and 87% would be for us and the other 3% would be set aside for any expenses that we may incure during the course of
> this transaction. And part of our share of 87% would be invested in your country in any profitable business proposed by you. While a large part of our share will also be used to help charity organizations.
 
We have never met, but I want to trust you and please do not let us down when this fund finally gets into your account. Please if you are
interested; get to me through my email address to enable me feed you with more details and all necessary documentations.
 
 Please treat this as confidential
 
Best regards.

Dear Family in Need (aka unknown and unnamed "son of Jonas Savimbi"):

 Thank you for your application of assistance to the Hamster Liberation Front.  First of all, let me express my sorrow about your father who was short dead over a year and a half ago; since I am tall alive myself, I do not know his individual pain, but can sympathize.

 It is obvious from your highly personalized email message that you have read our website thoroughly and are completely and fully aware of our revolutionary activities.  Indeed, your offer is tempting--"$1.6Million dollars" would certainly be a short in the arm to aid our revolutionary activities and free more and more rodents from the enslavement and abusive behaviors of humans.  Having an annual gross income of approximately $0,000,000.00, such an infusion of free and seemingly legal cash would be of great assistance.

 Our only reservation is that we have received six other similar offers this week from orphans in Nigeria.  In fact, they've offered us a full 20% of the monies, which, if my math is correct, is approximately 6.2 times what you are offering.  What's more, they have actually provided us with their names--not simply 2 separate Netscape.net accounts (are you Savinbegeorge or are you allyssa1955??).  If you can sweeten the offer, provide us with your true name, a copy of your driver's license, and a photograph of yourself holding a large fruit, we may be able to come to some sort of agreement in the shot-term future.

We await your response. 

With all of the respect your sincerity warrants,

 --gair

 Thank you for your kind words of support.  Indeed, we have several members who did, er, "spent" time in Bellingham WA... we're glad to see the revolution they started has continued to spread.  Indeed, this "Scooter" feline is well-known to some of our staff in the Sedro-Woolley Branch Office.  Once we apprehend him, we will contact you again for your testimony.

Hello, my name is Kala. I am 18 years old and recently have been corrupted by the event 'gerbiling'. I find it repulsive and cruel that an individual would even think to perform this lude act of insanity. The reason I am writing is because I feel there has to be something we can do to help stop this. I am not sure exactly what can be done, but I really want to help. If you have any information on how I can help, please let me know.

Thanks,
Kala

Dear Kala:

 You were "recently corrupted by the event 'gerbiling'"?  Egads, that sounds dreadful.  I don't want to even think about how you were "corrupted" by this act... I'm hoping a boyfriend tried to get you to do it and instaed you refused, dumped him for good, and turned him into your local HLF chapter for "re-education."  Nevertheless, here are some things you can do to help the Hamster Liberation Front rid the world of this nefarious, disgusting practice:

  • Donate generously to your local HLF chapter.  They don't take credit cards or checks (too much of a paper trail), but they'll be more than happy to accept cash, kibble, and veggies.

  • Organize a speaker to come to your local school/coffeehouse/street corner and give a lecture about the evils of gerbiling.  (Again, your local HLF chapter will most likely be able to provide you a list of resources in this area.)

  • Picket the homes and businesses of known gerbilers and "out" them for the world to know.

  • Print out HLF pictures and post them around town, directing people to our website for more information.

Above all, however, you must remain true to the cause of goodness and of rodential freedom.  Thank you for taking this first step.  May you continue on Che Hamstera's path.

 Sincerely,

 --gair

Dear Webmaster,
 
  I am writing to you because I want to exchange reciprocal links between your site and my franchising sites. Each of our
sites has unique content and operates independently. They are all leaders in their specific space.  http://www.FranchisesforWomen.com , http://www.AutomotiveFranchise.com , http://www.RetailFranchise.com , http://www.FranchiseRestaurant.com , and http://www.ServiceFranchise.com  We have thousands of people visit our websites each day looking for franchise and small business information in their desired category. What I am proposing is that I link from each
of my five sector sites to your site and in return you place a link on your website back to each of my sites. By doing so both of our visitors will benefit by allowing them to see related information and at the same time provide us both with a valuable link to one another. I am sure you know that the top search engines use link popularity to decide where to place websites in their listings. This is a winning proposal for you since you will gain five inbound links. I look forward to hearing from you soon so that we can both begin to enjoy the benefits of this proposed link exchange.

 Sincerely,
Angie Tidwell

Dear Angela (I hope you don't mind if I use your first name; 'Ms. Tidwell' just seems so formal!):

Thank you for your recent email to our website.  Indeed, we are incredibly eager to increase our inbound links.  We've taken some time off recently (due to personal reasons--I'm sure you wouldn't be interested why) but are planning to start working on the site once again and the "thousands of people" you indicate would see our links on your pages would really be a great way to increase our revenue (if we actually had any revenue to increase, that is).  And of course, I, as the Webmaster of the Hamster Liberation Front (Official Motto:  "The World's Premiere Rodential Revolutionaries"), am well aware that the top search engines use link popularity to decide where to place websites in their listings.

The only troubling aspect of your proposal, however, is that you indicate you wish to place our links on all 5 of your websites, each of which is a leader in its specific space.  Unfortunately, we here at the Hamster Liberation Front (Official Demonstration Chant:  "Remember--We're Here For The Little Furry Ones") believe honesty (or Honesty, if you prefer) is the best policy.  So we need to come up with some valid reason why we would be listed on each of your sites.  Let's see...

Well, we're very much set against the foul, evil practice of gerbiling, so we could be placed on your http://www.FranchisesforWomen.com website as a means of helping women to Just Say No to Gerbiling.  That would work very well; I can't tell you how many times a female has contacted one of our local branches and told a sorrowful tale of bedroom lusts.  Placing us on that website would work wonderfully well.

You could place our link on http://www.RetailFranchise.com because we sell some Hamster Liberation Front (Official T-Shirt Slogan:  "Remember--Be Nice or We'll Kill You" on the front and then on the back we usually put "Okay, we won't kill you, but we'll ruin your life by putting your CDs in all of the wrong cases and then putting everything out of alphabetical order, then we'll eat all of your lettuce and cheese, and then we'll kick over your wastebaskets so you have to pick up that used facial tissue and be all, like, 'This is really, really gross!'") t-shirts, lunchboxes, and bumper stickers from our website.  That would be ever so groovy!

And, of course, putting our link on http://www.ServiceFranchise.com just makes good sense because the Hamster Liberation Front (Official Theme Song: "Eye of the Hamster" from the Rocky IX Motion Picture Soundtrack) provides services to local communities that are battling against the Gerbilers' Youth Association, Gerbilers of America, and United Gerbilers of the Night.  We provide blankets and warm milk to hamsters in need.  And we vigorously support the moles' underground railroad system to help our household rodential friends escape from the cruel captivity of their cages.  Placing us on that page would make a very large amount of sense!

It's funny you should mention your http://www.FranchiseRestaurant.com website, because the Hamster Liberation Front (Official Trademarked Saying: "We pass the savings onto you.") has recently put together a business proposal to open a chain of cheese and lettuce restaurants across the United States!  If I didn't know better, I'd say you were listening in on our last board meeting!  !!!!      ROTFLMBO!  <chuckle>  Our link on that website would be just the shot in the arm our fledgling business needs!

Unfortunately, I'm stuck on how the Hamster Liberation Front (Official Candy Bar:  Charleston Chew (vanilla or strawberry flavor; preferrably
refrigerated so it's nice and cold when we bite into it) could justify placing a link on http://www.AutomotiveFranchise.com.  I mean, we don't use cars (hamster legs are too short to reach the pedals).  The closest we come to motorized conveyances is when we take our young rodent new recruits through the city to familiarize them with the machinations of the machines. However, we recognize you are the expert in these matters, so we'll leave it to you to decide how we can best fit on that page--we know you'll come up with a dandy of an idea!

All-in-all, I guess I'm just really, really, really, really excited about the opportunity.  I'm so glad you picked our website to email; I can't tell you how much this means to me.

Please write back as soon as you can; we'll be waiting.  Oh, and you can find the address where you can send the check or money order (we're not yet taking PayPal) on our Information Page.

I am HUGE hamster lover. My hamster (who goes by the code name fuzzface) is always making a bid for freedom.

When I told her about this site she had a MAJOR hyper attack. She often gets annoyed, but I keep telling her she must stay with me for her own safety.

 Yours respectfully
Rodent Freak

Bless you, Rodent Freak.  We're very happy you chose to visit our site and partake of what we have to offer there.  And I'm sure you have Fuzzface's best interests at heart... just be sure to listen to her needs and make every effort to meet them.

 May the blessings of Che Hamstera (we were hoping he'd be the surprise choice of the recent conclave, but it didn't pan out) be upon you and your household rodential friend.

Hamster Freak wrote (in response to our response):

Me and Fuzzface (her name stays unrevieled) are very glad you replied.  I didn't make up my name to impress you, people really do call me Hamster Freak. Just to make myself feel better I put Rodent Freak as my computer name. I understand that you cant tell me a lot about HLF, but please tell me everything I'm allowed to know. I am extremely intrested, and I'm unable to completely understand your site. I know my first email was a little crazy, and this one maybe annoying, but I wish to be of assistance to your great cause.

Yeah it's me again, just to tell you that I've got links to your site on my site. Please check out mine (http://demonscavern.bravehost.com)

Dear Hamster Freak:

 Thanks again for your correspondence and your link to our site!  Actually, we noticed your website entirely by coincidence a couple of weeks ago when we were looking at sites who have referred links to us... and you've actually sent a couple of visitors our way from your site!  Thanks!

 So you want to know about the HLF, eh?  Well, there's a lot of info on our website, so I guess I'm wondering what exactly you want to know.  You're unable to completely understand our site?  Well, that makes 2 of us... I don't understand everything I've posted on there, either, but that's part of what I think makes it a lot of fun. 

 For a little background, we started off as 2 people--Damond X and I started the HLF in 1989, if I recall correctly.  We remained small for a few years, until I started a personal website with several topics, to include a page on the HLF.  Well, the HLF page is the one that took off, so we focused on that website and its stated goals.  (The group has always been active, but this put a public face on it.)  We had some popularity and exposure (an interview on Animal Talk Radio and a plug in Yahoo! magazine) and that has distracted us (okay, me) a little, but we're working on getting back to our core issues. 

 Thanks again for your support--not just of the HLF, but of hamsters in general.  Viva les hamsters!

 Sincerely,

 My hamster truly wants to be a wild hamster. He doesn’t like to be held and tries to get out of his cage all the time. I live in Eastern NC. I am thinking of letting him go outside as the humane thing to do. Other than nature’s other wild animals having him for dinner, what are his chances of survival?

Dear Jyl:

 We have 2 options for answering you:

 Option #1:  My typical response.

 Whether or not your hamster can survive on his own in the wild is dependent upon many factors, including (but not necessarily limited to):

  • How many pizza parlors are there in your neighborhood?

  • As a follow-up, do any of them allow rodents to bring their own cheese toppings?

  • Do any of your neighbors belong to the GYA?

  • Have you been down to your local survivalist store and purchased the appropriate gear for him, taking into consideration the "special challenges" a rodent of his qualities will face when loosed upon the world?

  • As a follow-up, you didn't try to purchase any freeze-dried cheese, did you? 

Any and all of these questions will help determine the success of your household rodential friend's first foray into the urban jungle in which you live.

 Option #2:  The answer several of our HLF members would prefer I give to you.

 Don't do it.  Hamsters don't do well in the wild.  They're not really native to North Carolina.  (When was the last time you bumped into one in the fields and woods of your state?)  They don't want to be held just because they don't want to be held.  That doesn't mean they need to be running around outside.  Take care of your friend the best way you can and understand that while he's not really domesticated, he's not really a wild animal, either.

 Take care.  Viva les hamsters!

Very funny. Actually he got out of his cage on Sunday night and I was out of town for two nights. We do have a cat which I thought may eat the hamster. Anyway, I put some food and water out and also left the lid opened on his cage.  When we returned, the hamster had crawled back into the cage through the tunnel entrance. Then, he took all of his cage fluff and stopped up the tunnel entrance so nothing could come in after him. Pretty funny, I guess he wanted to be in his cage after all! Thanks for your advice!


Okay... if you're really, really interested in reading the old fan mail, we'll leave it up for a little while on the following pages:

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6

RODENTS UNITE!
