OMG! That first image looks EXACTLY like the first male hamster I ever had as a kid.

His name was "Solo" because the mother tried to "save" the rest of her kids from clumsy me by eating the rest of her children; basically, she was trying to "put them safely back inside her body, away from danger".

I discovered this and quickly separated Solo from his mother.

Also, I remember my father telling me that it was not the same reason why Cronus ate his children...

Enjoyed your post.

Namaste, JaiChai
