Dangerous Japanese rodents..
Slightly amused by the implication hidden within an article on a hamster befrending a snake called 'Aochan' on the BBC news website.

Most of the article reads much as one would expect, with two unlikely animals living together in classic cheap-sitcom-stylee, but this line made me smile:
"The hamster was initially offered to Aochan, the two-year-old rat snake, because it was refusing to eat frozen mice."
Never occured to me to even try feeding my hamster on frozen mice..
