Want to hear a funny hamster related story?

Of course you do

This is Codetta (ironically, Coda for short), my six month old dwarf hamster. She’s the sweetest, sassiest ball of floof to ever walk this earth and I want to make her happy

And she was clearly very unhappy in her cage, she’d got bigger over the last month and was quite clearly cramped, so I knew I needed to get her a bigger one

Being a student I don’t have the resources to hand to build a cage from scratch, so I found a flatpack wooden cage online and decided to go for it

I knew this cage was big, which was what coda needed, but I didn’t realise how completely fUCked I was until the box arrived the next day:

(this is my housemate Tash for reference, Tash is very tall)

I tried not to completely freak out until I’d opened it though, because I thought it was was plausible that it was just very well padded and that when all the pieces were screwed in, it wouldn’t look quite as large in context

But three hours and a lot of screwdrivers later

I had never been more wrong in my life

This is for a hamster three inches long bear in mind

And we can comfortably fit my housemate in it, with room to spare:

I’ve had to rearrange my bedroom because there’s only one spot against the wall where this monstrosity will fit

My landlord for next year doesn’t even know I have a hamster yet, let alone one that lives in a house bigger than some London studio apartments

I haven’t even told my family because my mother, who will be helping me move my stuff back to her home at the end of this academic year, is actually going to crucify me

At the end of the day the main thing is that my little ham is now living her best life in a house relative to her size that’s bigger than anything I could ever dream of residing in, at 6 months old she’s truly the luckiest hamster in the world

(and of course, when you’re in this position, what other name could me and my housemates give this monstrosity of a cage other than the Hamsion™️)

Yeeeeeeeees such a good cage! Lots and lots of depth for bedding, i think it is safe to assume it is at least 450 sq inches, good ventilation at the top, and a solid lid thatll make breaking out extremely difficult! Lots of space for toys and tubes and hides and all that fun stuff!

…I want this cage, I love it. It’s glorious.

Wow! Do you have a link, OP? That would be a great enclosure for pigeons too!

Where did you get this cage? I need it

googling the info on the box (pawhut model d51-082) turns up mostly UK links, but Pawhut themselves seems to have a lot of very nice cages available through Amazon, for a huge variety of small animals! I might get one myself.

This would be good for housing quail, or as an only-at-night enclosure for house pet chickens, or for young chicks.

I firmly believe that unless the couple has discussed and agreed to marriage ahead of time, nobody has any business making a surprise public proposal.

Okay except some people want a surprise public proposal. 

Girl my husband took me to Spain and gave me a kinder egg on the beach, the ring was inside the capsule (Lord knows how he did that) if any feminist tried to take that away from me I may cut a bitch. Best surprise of my life.

I wish people were capable of analyzing larger social trends and figuring that a significant number of women end up getting pressured into engagements or marriages they don’t want bc the audience that comes along with a public proposal will think she’s a bitch if she says no – instead of thinking “i liked it when it happened to me, therefore it could never turn out badly for anyone, not ever!!!!”

I think what people are misunderstanding here is that agreeing to marriage ahead of time doesn’t need to be like, asking permission to propose? I surprised my now spouse with a proposal in Disneyland but before that we had several conversations about the future of our relationship, future plans for our retirements and how we’d have to get married eventually for immigration purposes. I didn’t go to her and say “so would you say yeah if I proposed?” or hash out deets ahead of time, but we had enough of a mutual understanding and communicated desire to get married that, although it was a surprise for when and how I proposed, it wasn’t out of left field at all.

This is exactly like conversations about consent, people get up in arms thinking that it means you have to have contracts and serious sit down conversations before doing anything when its REALLY EASY to simply COMMUNICATE with your partner so things like this are done properly, yeesh

“proposal can be a surprise, engagement shouldn’t be“ – saw that somewhere, thought it was the most accurate
