The point for this post is to start several (hopefully) interesting threads of weird hamster death stories because apparently these things never die naturally?

He was way too damn smart, a real escape artist. He opened the door on his cage. I wrapped a paperclip around it to add security. He still escaped.

Couldn't find him for a day or two. Heard him inside my bed which was not on a frame, so he chewed his way inside from the side. Gorged himself on foam and was fully blocked up. Died of intestinal trauma.

I couldn't keep him locked up, and he killed himself.
