False Alarm

My mom called me today while I was out with some friends and told me that another one of my baby hamsters had escaped from the cage. So, I thought I would come home and discover one of the cages to be short a hamster when I went into the animal room to feed them. So, when I was feeding the hamsters, I counted the number in each cage; there were three in one cage (mommy's cage) and six in the other (daddy's cage), which is the number that I had before there was supposedly another one missing.

The only conclusion I could come to was that the corpse my dad found was one of the two hamsters that went missing and we never found a body for. I don't want to think about why it took so long for the body to surface; it probably had something to do with my cats. They were probably hiding it and saving it for later. *shudders*

So, I got all upset for nothing; but, at least we know that the mom didn't eat both the babies... well, we know she didn't eat the one, but we're not sure about the other one. Give it another week, and I'm sure the body with surface.
