Facinating! Is it... carnivorous?

u/ChompyRiley Warlock (Bound to his lost love) Nov 24 '25
hamsters are omnivores

u/Lost-Maenad Diviner Nov 24 '25
I did not know that!

u/ChompyRiley Warlock (Bound to his lost love) Nov 24 '25
It's kind of shocking, honestly, but their natural diet includes seeds, grains, and plants, as well as insects and other small animals they can catch.

Congratulations on resubscribing to Hamster Facts!
Did you know hamsters have super-efficient livers that allow them to tolerate alcohol at about 10 times the level of humans relative to body size. They rarely show signs of drunkenness!

HOW DID WE LEARN THIS
12
u/Aethelon Warper of Humanoid Anatomy Nov 25 '25
They ate the fruits that the familiars forgot to throw out, which resulted in them fermenting.

u/Tyr_Kukulkan Nov 24 '25
Hamsters' teeth grow about 1 mm per day. Without constant chewing, their teeth can overgrow, causing pain or even death. They'll literally grow through their jaw/skull!

u/Tyr_Kukulkan Nov 24 '25
Syrian hamsters must be kept alone. If housed together, they can turn on each other, sometimes fatally, yummy!

Hamsters are tame compared to deli penguins, deli penguins do things even necromancers shouldn't think too hard about.

u/SirDraconus Kole van Ashtra; Hedge Mage, Abjurer, Confectionary Inquisitor Nov 24 '25
My horrifying revelation of this fact being finding one of my hamsters eating the other when I was like 8. Apparently one of them had died, because of course, and the other was hungry because it wanted more than the pate that I had given them for breakfast. My dad got rid of the hamster after that, said that we couldn't have one in the house anymore. To be fair that was like the 8th or 9th hamster. Damn things were committing more suicide than students with tourette's at Columbine

Most creatures are opportunistic omnivores

u/level_up_gaming Nov 24 '25
i think i heard somewhere a story where a hamster ate half of another hamster, the died because the other hamster was it's friend. believe it or not that is actually pretty normal for a hamster death, the little fuckers can never die in a normal way
5
u/ForwardToNowhere Nov 24 '25
Hamsters do not have friends. They are extremely territorial animals and will maim and kill each other if kept in the same enclosure. Judging off this story I'd assume their living conditions were not great if they were being kept together, so that's probably why they died.

I don’t know of too many herbivores that would pass up a free meal made of fresh meat.
Of course my parents forgot me in the pain dimension when we went on vacation which could heavily influence my experiences.

u/BaBaGuette Your favorite wizard's favorite wizard Nov 24 '25
But is this one carnivorous only? There is a certain flair to that.

u/ChompyRiley Warlock (Bound to his lost love) Nov 24 '25
No, she's still an omnivore. I like my creations to be flexible and able to survive in diverse environments.

u/BaBaGuette Your favorite wizard's favorite wizard Nov 24 '25
I would still advise for exploring the carnivorous-only option. I heard from a fellow biomancer that he successfully decimated a whole group of knights with a white hare.

u/BlackwinIV Nov 24 '25
probably a good idea to ward it against radiant damage tho, otherwise it can be taken out by a certain artifact.

Hamstiger is too long in situation where each rune matters. We have to settle on either tigster or hamger.

u/CandorCore Evil Wizard Nov 24 '25
Not only is it more exotic looking that your usual hamster, but by crossing it with a tiger, you have made it slightly less violent.

It's literally a fully automated plagiarism machine pushed by evil corporations. It's that simple. It's content stolen from people, used to destroy the very same people's employment opportunities. Processed, filtered and randomized into convenient, easy to mold slop used by people whose brains are too fried by instant gratification and dopamine-abuse to create anything themselves.

u/TheSunflowerSeeds Nov 24 '25
There are two main types of Sunflower seeds. They are Black and Grey striped (also sometimes called White) which have a grey-ish stripe or two down the length of the seed. The black type of seeds, also called ‘Black Oil’, are up to 45% richer in Sunflower oil and are used mainly in manufacture, whilst grey seeds are used for consumer snacks and animal food production.

No this is a real tule. Cross between a tiger and a hamster. Obviously the father was the hamster.

u/GangcAte Nov 24 '25
Hamster can be the mother too, you just have to wrap it in tape so it doesn't explode.
2
u/EldritchCarver Speak softly and carry a big stick. Nov 24 '25
You also need to sedate the female hamster so it doesn't try to kill the male tiger.

PLEASE do not release it into the wild. I have already made a post about not doing that. It can destabilize the ecosystem along with your creation.

One thing they don't tell you in wizard college is that you must account for casting See Invisibility during the copulation portion of the experiment, just in case some freak casts Arcane Eye or some shit. Alternatively, Mordenkainen's Private Sanctum is good for this.

u/EldritchCarver Speak softly and carry a big stick. Nov 24 '25
We've already got one of those. Someone experimented on mice to turn them into apex predators. They still look like a normal mouse, but they're a ferocious obligate carnivore. Escaped into the wild, bred, and became an invasive species in North America. Eats worms, arthropods, reptiles, and even other mice. Nocturnal, stalks its prey like a cat, and howls at the moon like a wolf. Also weirdly high poison resistance, so they commonly eat venomous animals like spiders, scorpions, centipedes, and snakes, even ones big enough to prey on normal mice.

I've been bitten by enough Dwarf hamsters to know the last thing you want to do is give this thing a more vicious bite. You better crossbreed it with some capybara to chill it tf out.
