1st comment? Posseration! 3 hamsters must have escaped into my house in my childhood. but there were in the little plastic cages?!: catw; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:23 PM

I *knew* they could flatten themselves like pancakes. Cats too. Is that little critter named Stanley?: Tor; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:25 PM

Nice, and the song sounds like something my parents would have dance to back in the day!: Rafael; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:29 PM

Wow. It's like the little hammy is reenacting a scene from Lost! :) Kate gets out of her cage the exact same way. So cuuuuute. It's time to get the hammies a nice solid habitrail instead of that wire barred jail.: verily; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:32 PM

Ha! The lil shit!: soxfan; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:33 PM

...that was amazing.: Constance; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:33 PM

Wow... paper thin hammie!! no point having the ikkle mite in that cage... just somewhere to get food and water... and hopefully poop.... Cutey wee skinny-ham.....: Hazel; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:50 PM

are you done now....: Fable; | Mar 02, 2007 at 09:55 PM

Wow - Just like kitties, it appears the little hammies should be classified as liquids, as well. At least this one - that was almost painful! 0_o: Crazed; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:07 PM

When I had hamsters -- decades ago -- they used to chew through the plastic of the cage to escape! Bastids!: Malnurtured Snay; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:11 PM

That has to be yours, Rob! And here I was just wondering today if you still had hammies...Yay hammie! HeeHeeHee...Great clip, as usual.: Ummaro; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:11 PM

Holy cr@p! That's impressive.: KarKar; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:12 PM

i am always amazed by the fact that you guys seem always oblivious to the pain this thing makes me feel everyday, and asking for the reason why is fair to me...why such a vengeance.you can delete that comment theo, it doesnt matter it is said.: Fable; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:15 PM

AWESOME. I love how it just squirms out through the bars.: Christy; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:25 PM

Is the video just totally not working for anyone else? Can't get it to stream from here, nor over on Cutecast, and not in a different browser either. Is this a Youtube or Google video that someone can find a direct link for me to?: Christina; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:29 PM

Man, my gerbils just chewed through their cage to get out. This guy is pretty smart.: Andrew; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:42 PM

Love this video. I had siberian dwarf hammies as a kid...until the cats learned how to knock the habi-trail tubes off... Hopefully they are much better built nowadays! I mean the cages, not the hammies!: A Caitlin; | Mar 02, 2007 at 10:44 PM

DANG! They always say that if they can squeeze their heads through - the rest will follow! I've never seen it on camera before. Good thing someone was watching! Notice how it had to adjust a bit when it came to it's little pelvis. *wiggle-wiggle-POP*: wolfwhocriedboy; | Mar 02, 2007 at 11:37 PM

Great song. Great hammy. My friend's hammy tried to escape too, but he used the cage door that was on the top of the cage. He got it half open, but then sadly the door somehow got stuck and pinned down the hammy and he died there =( Can't remember exactly how it went, but that's the general idea.: Vultekai; | Mar 03, 2007 at 12:52 AM

Haven't heard that song since I last saw Forbidden Zone.: Cain; | Mar 03, 2007 at 01:36 AM

Okay, got it to work. What a cute little one. I have tons of my own escape tales.: Christina; | Mar 03, 2007 at 01:51 AM

I had a really smart hammie. Her cage had a little door on the front that just slid up and down, with nothing to secure it in place. She learned how to lift the door and get out. I had to put a tiny little padlock on it to keep it closed. We moved her to a habitrail not too long after that, but she learned how to stand on top of the wheel and pry the top door off. One day she got out and we never saw her again.: jackie31337; | Mar 03, 2007 at 02:17 AM

hahaha! the last phrase iswhat really makes the video :): waffles; | Mar 03, 2007 at 03:11 AM

Ever notice how cages look a lot like prisons? Why do we imprison those we love? Hami's and gerbali's should be free, free to run and play and make up their own minds.: missingmeg; | Mar 03, 2007 at 03:12 AM

I have a friend who cannot watch anything on C.O. Meanwhile I love the site. But she sees evil in it, of watching movies that she feels torture animals. You are a particularly sensitive person, I think. But you should not look at or comment on C.O if it makes you uncomfortable.: Tee; | Mar 03, 2007 at 04:12 AM

I love the song used, anyone know what it is?: darkshines; | Mar 03, 2007 at 04:27 AM

Hammies have collapsible insides. And tiny knees. My brother's hams used to escape and skin their knees. He'd insist on having them taken to the vet, who would shave their wee knees and stitch them up.: PuppyMomma; | Mar 03, 2007 at 05:21 AM

Ohhhh, his insides got smooshed!: girlnextdoortn; | Mar 03, 2007 at 05:29 AM

Uh-oh, ham's on the lam! How do they DO that?: useta hada kitteh; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:13 AM

um, person whose name is missingmeg? um, meg posted this one. sparky is meg's "other half". meg's posted others, too, recently. where ya been?: useta hada kitteh; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:15 AM

HAHAHAHAAAA[gasp]AAAAHAHAHAHAHA!: Theo; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:18 AM

When I had hamsters as a kid, they were also escape artists. Once I saw one of my hammies climb across the top of his cage (hanging from the bars by his two front paws) _slide the catch on the door back_ push it open and climb out. After that a textbook lived on that door, but we still lost hammies. At least one permanently.: Elizabeth B; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:25 AM

I had escape artist hammies as child, too! And we even had those plastic habitrail "environments" (i.e., no bars or cages for us), so you'd think the hammies would be fairly secure... But they always found a way to squeeze through whatever miniscule gaps were left where the tubes and chutes attached. Seriously: hammies = liquid.: stina; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:31 AM

Boneless hammie! I had one who would escape, and it didn't matter *what* we did to stop him. Had to nickname the sucker "Houdini". His cage was in my bedroom, so I kept my door shut to limit his nighttime wanderings. Some mornings, I'd wake up with a ball of floof taking a bath on my head, or sleeping under my chin.: layla42; | Mar 03, 2007 at 06:33 AM

ugh! Everyone knows Robos need to be kept in glass aquariums. If you're gonna get a pet and keep it in a tiny cage AT LEAST DO SOME RESEARCH.: Jaeby; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:10 AM

Oh noes, Jaeby.: Theo; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:33 AM

hmmm. i can't see this at all, just a big gray square. is there another way to link to it? i want to see Hammy Houdini!: skippy; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:35 AM

LOL!!! I love the song too. Nuthin' like Latino jazz. And here's something really scary and sad: http://www.myfoxny.com/myfox/pages/News/Detail?contentId=2556694&version=1&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=VSTY&pageId=3.1.1: Subhangi; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:46 AM

One of the hamsters I had was always getting out of her cage. The cage was a glass aquarium with wire mesh covering the top. We thought this was escape proof. My hamster noticed that one of the mesh corners was raised a little bit, so she piled up wood chips under her wheel until it stopped turning and then climbed up it like a ladder. When she got to the top, she did monkey bars across the mesh and over to that corner where she climbed out. She was gone for three days and we found her in the basement.: Awestruck; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:47 AM

Did anyone ready "I Houdini - the Autobiography of a Self-Educated Hamster" when they were kids? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Houdini-Autobiography-Self-educated-Complete-Unabridged/dp/0745125344 It's a brilliant book :): Tony James; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:50 AM

Gerbils are at least as sneaky. Ours used to fun around in those snap-together plastic balls ... sneak off to a corner and then chew away at the plastic holders, and then make their escape! One of them became a "free-range gerbil". You shoulda seen all the food stashes he had going under the furniture!: SeaBrereze; | Mar 03, 2007 at 07:50 AM

am i the only one who can't see the picutre? all i get is a grey box. the other pictures load fine.: CB; | Mar 03, 2007 at 08:11 AM

This essplains A LOT of mystery escapes over the years. Cats are *scary* good at this flattening thing too.: warrior two; | Mar 03, 2007 at 08:37 AM

Reminds me of the night the entire litter baby rats realized that they were mobile and small enough to fit through the cage bars. About midnight I was almost asleep when I heard a skittering near my head and turned to find a baby rat staring beadily at me from the edge of my pillow. I called my parents and we put him back. Five seconds later, two more popped out. We put them back, and three more came out. Eventually the entire litter of eight had figured out what was up, so we had to put them in an old dog carrier with somewhat smaller holes in the front. Then they figured out they could fit through those holes too. So we covered the holes with a towel and when they hadn't escaped after five minutes, we went back to bed. In the morning, there was one hole chewed through the towel, and all the babies were back with their mother in the cage. Little shits.: Elizabeth B.; | Mar 03, 2007 at 08:58 AM

I have a friend that recommended I log onto this site...I see why--thx: Amanda Watson; | Mar 03, 2007 at 09:32 AM

"One o'clock, two o'clock three o'clock - LOCKED Four o'clock, five o'clock, six o' clock - NOT Seven o'clock, eight o'clock, nine o'clock - WALK We're gonna walk out of the cage tonight!": Aubrey; | Mar 03, 2007 at 10:11 AM

Aubrey, as usual, your lyrical skills are tops! Slightly off thread here, but this reminds me of the cairn terrier I had when I was in college. She was crate trained until she was housebroken, so when I left for class, she'd be "in jail" (aka wire dog crate my folks gave me). But when I got home, she'd be out, contents of the trash can would be EVERYWHERE and I'd have a nice puddle right in front of the door. Couldn't figure out how she was doing it, so borrowed a cam from the studio I was working at and discovered the little imp had discovered I didn't latch the top of the crate and was sliding out of the top. Misty was one damn smart dog.: Suzanne; | Mar 03, 2007 at 10:38 AM

Hammies are TEH MASTER ESCAPE ARTISTS. As the former owner of several, I can testify first-hand.: A thinker; | Mar 03, 2007 at 11:15 AM

[...]Extraido de Cute Overload[...]: Animals Files » Aprendiz de Houdini; | Mar 03, 2007 at 11:20 AM

Wow, I'm so glad that I've always kept Syrian Hamsters. My cats already love sleeping atop hammie cages to watch.: R. Moore; | Mar 03, 2007 at 11:49 AM
