Tootie is also Banjo’s little sister from the Banjo-Kazooie game.
Wake up, Ham-Ham Tootie, wake up!

Actually, there’s a character of that name on The Fairly OddParents…

At our house, when the dog does this, we call it “The Dead Bug”!

Erin, I just read the rest of your comment. That’s very sad. To be honest, I’ve never heard of that ever happening before. I wonder if maybe there was something else going on too. But sorry to hear about that. Doesn’t matter how many hammies I’ve had, it’s still very sad when one dies unexpectedly.

Well… yes, that’s true. But, so do a lot of other animals, as well as the hooman variety.

Actually, though, it makes it convenient. Between thorough cleanings (which should be every couple weeks or so depending on the hamster & cage situation) you can scoop up the messy corner with a plastic baggie — just put the baggie on your hand and scoop; then turn it inside out, tie it up and toss it out. I do this for the Serians especially since their pee is a bit oddiferous, if you git my drift.

Heather – yeh, that happens unfortunately. It’s kinda tuff sometimes since their lifespan is so short.

My roommate’s hamster was on its back like this.. except it was dead *sniffle*

SPB,

Thank for the info. I use CareFresh for my rat right now, so I guess that’s safe. Hopefully this hammy is having aspen…

He looks exactly like this guy:
