General Notes
Fluffy is a particularly tame hamster which is a good thing as one day we looked in his cage and saw some horrible big pink thing hanging out his rear end. Taking the Internet to be the source of all knowledge we did an image search for "rectal prolapse" (you really don't want to do that) and were convinced that was what Fluffy had. So we stuffed Fluffy in a box and took him to the vets with the children. Needless to say the anomaly had been reabsorbed by the time we got him to the vets. However the vet picked Fluffy up in a special veterinarian grip and poked around until the monstrosity popped out again.
"Is that what you saw?" Asked the Vet. "Yes, poor thing. Is there anything you can do for him?" "Er, that's his testicles..." "Daddy, what's a testicle?" and so on...
Mind you the vet did say that Fluffy has particularly large testicles. That's my boy.
