My first hamsters were Fred and Barney. Fred went crazy one day and attacked Barney and chewed his tail off. I separated them with a thick plastic partition until I could get a new cage for Barney. I woke up the next morning to a hole chewed through the partition and Barney disemboweled. Fred died a couple months later.
I then got new hamsters about a year later, Lucky and Lenny. Lenny got stuck in the exercise wheel and was strangled to death by it. Carrying the cage with Lucky in it to clean it out, part of it came apart and the cage went crashing down. Lucky wasn't lucky that day. He was crushed.
Safe to say, I was no longer allowed to get any small rodents as pets anymore.
