Mouse To Mouse Resuscitation
CONTENT WARNING: Animal Death
(An irate customer comes flying through the door and slams a soaking wet, dead hamster on the counter. I recognize her as a woman I had sold a hamster to an hour ago.)
Me: “Oh, my goodness! What happened?!”
Customer: “I took this hamster home and he didn’t even live ten minutes!”
Me: “Why is he all wet?”
Customer: “From being in the aquarium! He swam for a while, but then he just dropped dead!
Me: “I’m sorry, are you telling me you put him in an aquarium full of water?”
Customer: “You told me hamsters can live in aquariums! You said I didn’t need to buy a cage specifically for hamsters!”
Me: “Hamsters can live in an aquarium, but not in water! When you were picking him out didn’t you notice the others are in empty aquariums with bedding?”
Customer: “You told me he could live in an aquarium! I demand a new hamster! One that is alive!”
Me: “I really don’t think any of our animals are going to work out for you.”
