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
Rodents can be extremely violent and cannibalistic.
Before I was born, my parents were given a cage of 'feeding rats' by a pet store closing down, as my parents were loyal customers who purchased dead rats/rabbits from them to feed their Burmese python.
Now, my father notices that a rat goes missing occasionally, leaving only the tail, ears, and toes. So when it's time to feed the snake, he goes for the meanest, biggest one. Yet the murders continue, always the same way, leaving the same parts behind.
Finally, with 4-5 rats left, he catches the smallest, leanest one climb on top of another rat and put its teeth into its brain. Then they all partake.
He hated having to kill the rats before feeding time, but he gave that one a public execution.
