when two individuals are being confined to each other for too long, in fact, all the time, they do grow sick of each other. and i mean 24 hrs a day for eternity. no wonder the hamsters are protesting and incessantly scratching the wheels to make their unhappiness heard. well they have certainly brought their message across. we're taking turns to erupt into fits of anger and annoyance as you try to block out the high frenquency (unfortunately not so high to the point it becomes inaudible) noise of fibre cutting into plastic, while conscienciously making an effort to concentrate on whatever we were doing in the first place. even the mildest tempered creature would burst into irritated screams and wonder why the little hamsters suffer such ill-fates of being locked up in the cage, which actually is the world to them.
as much as i want to sympathise with them, i cannot control myself from brewing frustration. but i do understand how they feel sometimes. maybe kenny's hamsters had a much more fruitful life than any other hamster, even though their lives may have been shortlived in the forest. but at least they saw more to the world than just cold hard metal grills and brightly coloured tubes.
