When I was younger, my cousin had a hamster that got pregnant (probably due to lack of responsible sex education in hamster high schools). I remember him telling me about her having the babies. I was very excited to see them. However, no one told him that you have to separate the baby hamsters from mama hamster. By the time I was able to go over to see them, she had proceeded to eat all of her little hamster children. So instead of seeing unthinkably adorable hamster babies, I saw a less than adorable bloody stump of what was left of the last one. I just couldn't fathom what would cause a parent to eat her own young. Until now...
Look at those cheeks. I just want to bite them. Don't worry. I'm not going to eat my child. No one is going to come over to see a Lil' Bit stump. I do have slightly more cognitive capacity than that of your everyday house hamster. I'm just saying that a part of me wants to eat her for being so cute. It's nature.
