Nah it's Def dead as rigor Mortis had set in. Will have a quiet dignified send off.....when I toss it in the skip. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qos91 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Nah it's Def dead as rigor Mortis had set in. Will have a quiet dignified send off.....when I toss it in the skip.I wouldn't be too sure. My hamster went stiff as a board when I was a kid and we were convinced it was dead. Put it in a towel on top of a radiator and it was running about again a couple of hours later. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, my wife threw the youngsters' hamster into the bin, thinking it was dead, but whenever her eldest son came home from work he rescued it and placed it beside the fire and it revived. She hadn't realised it was hibernating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the day, I think Ol' 'Enerey VIII used to enjoy a swan stuffed with a pigeon stuffed with a blackbird stuffed with a wren (or somesuch._) Don't see that on Masterchef, eh ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it reanimates, pray it doesn't find @Richey Edwards' hamster and join forces to track you down! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
