Please don't laugh at me, I am so upset. She is at school, she will be gutted

I warmed up a pot of chicken casserole left over from yesterday to have for my lunch. I have eaten it, it's too late to do anything, but it was boiling for a good hour before I ate it and now I've just gone to feed dd's hamster and his cage is open and he isn't there . There was no lid on the casserole pot, his cage was on the shelf at the other end of the kitchen and the door was shut so there isn't really anywhere else he could have gone. He must have fallen in and drowned before it got hot, that's the only thing I can think of. I didn't find the hamster in the stew obviously, but there were some hairs in the pot, I just washed it it was full of bones anyway because they were those cheap chicken portions just boiled in from frozen.

Please, don't just laugh at me, I know this sounds silly but he was my daughter's birthday present, she is 6 and I don't think she will ever forgive me

the remains should be reassembled to be certain of the hamsters demise.

hunkermunker · 09/11/2006 16:15

Is he still in the cage? Sounds like a big cage and a small hamster.

My mum used to feed my rabbit and tell me it was furry chicken...

MascaraOHaraIncredibleSheHulk · 09/11/2006 16:17

You could check it's dental records to confirm identity

AllieIsNiceAndFluffy · 09/11/2006 16:17

Most posts on a pet thread EVER

Flamesparrow · 09/11/2006 16:18

SEE! It can cook in a hour...

(Could easily be rabbit soup.. the skull would be more noticable though)

flamesparrow. Can just picture Nigella:

"Ohhh, i usually leave hamsters in for at least a couple of hours, till the meat is falling off the bone. " >>>>

Mind you this has given me a great idea for revenge on the MIL...... Unless they have beaten me to it. I was given a rather strange pheasant casserole once...

LadyOfTheFlowersIs1Baby1Bump · 09/11/2006 16:19

no allie. i have not posted your buggy yet
i am too busy being jealous of this hilairious thread!
and i dont care i have spelt that wrong either!

ssd · 09/11/2006 16:19

Lio · 09/11/2006 16:20

LaPauvre, one day you, your dd and I suspect many of us here, will dine out on this story.

Flamesparrow · 09/11/2006 16:20

pmsl

Flamesparrow · 09/11/2006 16:21

lmao @ dining out on the story!!!

AllieIsNiceAndFluffy · 09/11/2006 16:21

aw lady, have you had a bad day???
I couldn't bear to touch a stinking hamster, let alone eat one. Don't they eat each other when one dies though?

chester30 · 09/11/2006 16:22

all the bones will make a superb stock

anon666 · 09/11/2006 16:22

And I was given second and third helpings of it for pretending it was really nice. Looking back, no-one else touched it, and we never did find out what happened to the canary......

hunkermunker · 09/11/2006 16:22

Hamsters are lovely.

Boy hamsters do have unfeasibly large testicles though. They drag rather...

AllieIsNiceAndFluffy · 09/11/2006 16:22

they'd make a bloody small stock
