      Of course they’re not blowing up the hamster! That would be unethical, immoral, probably illegal, very hard to clean up, and, most importantly, lasers don’t blow things up, they vapourise them.

      They vapourise the hamsters.

        I don’t know where you’re getting your information from. “Hamsters” is actually a misleading term because there is only one hamster on Earth and he is immortal. He travels through time and overlaps his own timeline frequently, creating the illusion of multiple hamsters. As he ages, he grows very slowly and the patterns on his fur change, which is why he looks different sometimes. You should probably say a few hail hamsters now because he doesn’t like when people make jokes about his demise — and he can bite.

          when he travels backwards through time he’s referred to as a sterham and is positively charged

          I, for one, welcome our immortal, time-travelling, hamster overlord, but please stop giving away their secrets. The ‘vapourisation’ is the cover they need to make the particularly tricky jumps through time and space. It’s not needed every time, hence why it’s not more common, just when they need to arrive at a very specific point that’s already crowded with other manifestations of the ur-hamster.

          The proper term is Miniature Giant Space Hamster

        Well, that doesn’t mean it’s not done.

        My sister had a few (more than 20 simultaneously) rats.

        One rat got stuck with her tail in the cage, and the tail had to be amputated, or the rat would’ve died. There were a few complications during the operation, and the bill would have skyrocketed to more than 2k€. For a tiny rat.

        Needless to say, my sister insisted the operation continue. Rat lived happily for another 18 months

          I’m skeptical but I would like to hear about those cases. I had a mouse with $600 vet bill. She did actually live another seven months with a good quality of life.
