Hello Hamster Lovers!

 

This video kept me on the edge of my seat, it's worth a watch. NO hammies harmed

 

I must add: Amazing Job Charlie! Hope you got back to your nest as soon as you were done driving!

It was actually 16 tons, not 33,000 lbs!! That's how many times heavier it is bigger than Charlie ;)

The article said it was over 16 tons in weight. 16 tons is 32,000 pounds. So it's the same thing Of course it's going to be that much heavier than the hamster,  6 ounces is only about a third of a pound.

Oh my! I need to learn my math now don't I.

That's funny and cute, neat little experiment that was over-dramatized and the music put me on the edge of my seat lol  Adorable little Charlie <3

That's a really bizarre idea..... but kinda cool! I would never do that though....pretty risky. I can only imagine falling off that cliff, especially with a hamster's life in my hands....

that scared me O_O i was really happy when they made it safe    

[Poofthecat]

It must take a lot of trust to let a hamster drive your truck on a cliff


Sheep: yay Charlie! You made it! You didn't die!

Charlie: what? I was just chasing that carrot!

[Noelle & Hammies]

Aww! He did a good job! It was scary watching it, though. Especially when the rock fell!!
