Smurf the hamster gets stuck to cage with magnet]/url]

A hamster found itself stuck to the bars of its metal cage in Northamptonshire after chewing a magnet that had fallen off a Spiderman toy...

...Mrs Meech said: "We'd been out for the day and got back in the late afternoon and popped into Tom's bedroom.

"We found the hamster in mid air and stuck to the bars. It looked quite gruesome initially.

"We couldn't work out how it had happened and Smurf was in a quite a tangle.

"It was then that I saw the outline of something on her cheek that turned out to be the magnet from George's Spiderman toy."

Mrs Meech managed to remove Smurf from the cage and then took the pet to a vet.

"The hamster must have gone along chewing the bars and had somehow managed to pull itself through because it was stuck on the outside," she said.

Smurf is "now back to her normal loopy self," said Mrs Meech

LOL

Aw poor thing.

I used to have plenty of hamsters, and I could see this magnet working as an anti-escape device Hamster escapes, look around metal!

What? Can you imagine walking in your room and finding your hamster stuck to the top of its cage?

Better than finding it in a dog's mouth!

Mental note: must add some flavour to the hamsters too, to discourage the dog from tasting it.
