Hello

I have a friend, he says a lot of things...
The other day he said a hamster could kill a rat by jumping on its back and biting its neck. This seems a bit silly to me, the largest animal I could find that they eat using Google was locusts. Does this actually happen or is he making things up again? :confused:

Also does anyone know the official line on hamsters and citrus fruits - I've been getting mixed messages.

Any help/ opinions welcome

Cheers

I wuold say that the rat would be the one killing a hamster. However, there can be significant damage done to either animal by the other animal. Hamsters are very territorial and can get aggressive even with their own species.

Do be honest I think a hamster could kill a rat by biting it there bites are harsh! But it wouldn't eat it and all I no about the citrus fruit thing is that Hamsters aren't allowed any citrus fruits.

Please contact me and say if I've been any help? X
