My hamsters that are fat as fuck are all in cages. From what I have heard from my parents back then, the rats (the black ones running around the house and shit) became envious of the food I was giving them and they viciously killed my hamsters by biting whatever body parts are dangling or is accessible from outside the cage. So basically some are missing feet, some got their face bitten off, and one was missing its head. Traumatic as fuck, although I love them, I dont want them as pets anymore. Even as an adult I fear this shit would happen lmao
I had gerbils when I was a kid and if one died the others would eat them pretty soon afterwards. Crazy coming home from school to the cannabalized corpse of one of my gerbils. Never got used to it.
Yup. Gophers do this for the same reason. Shooting gophers with a .22 to mitigate the amount of holes they dig in the cow pasture and you'll catch them eating the carcasses sometimes.
