I just recently taken a hamster home with me, I named her butterbean. Actually I thought that butterbean was a boy ,and her name before butterbean was Borat because I got her Saturday night and I went to go see the movie.

Anyways I wanted to tell you how I got her.

Went over to a friends place, he asks me if i'm interested in a free hamster. He showed me this cute orange and white one.

He also then told me that she survived an 18 hour stay in a freezer which is unheard of. Plus she survived becoming snake food because his male snake would not eat her at the time because the male snake was loosing his skin, lucky for butterbean.

I was in shock I couldn't believe that she lived being in a freezer for that long, when she should have died within 5 hours, aparently someone told him that was the "humane' way to put an animal to sleep and die. I think there are other ways... but anyways I took her in.

She's my little survivor, and now is the mascot of healing wounds, my survivors message board.

She is doing well so far, I don't know if she has an permenant damage, but she is frisky at night and sleeps during the day.

Here is a picture of my sweetie chickpea.

OMG, what Butterbean went through was horrible! It's torture! Abuse!

I'm so angry at the person who could put her in the freezer! For goodness sake, take her to the animal shelter! How could anyone kill such a cute innocent healthy hamster?

((((((((((((Butterbean))))))))))))

She deserves nothing but tender loving care.

Butterbean is so cute and what a cute name!! That poor thing being frozen like that!! Can you talk your friend into not doing that to animals?? Please?? I couldn't imagine doing something like that to an innocent creature!!

Looks like Butterbean won your heart and I am thankful for that!!

I don't think he normally does this, dunno what made him do it this time. When he gets them for his snakes me buys them frozen..

butterbean is doing good tonight, had her out and she was running around, even made her a book maze, after awhile she cheated and started climbing over a couple.

The hamsters were for snake food, he didn't purchase them they were given to him, they were unwanted pets. I know so sad.
