Showing once again (I've reported on this before) that British rescue squads still have a heart, they came to the rescue of a hamster stuck in some bathroom pipes... From the Cambridge News (UK):
A HOUDINI hamster sparked mass panic when he went on the adventure of a lifetime.Bored of being stuck in his cage, Harold the hamster made a successful escape bid under the cover of darkness.
While his owner slept, nine-month-old Harold began exploring his home and took particular interest in the bathroom.
But disaster struck when he decided to investigate a gap between the bath and some pipes and wedged himself behind the bath panel and a soil pipe.
I didn't think a hamster could get "wedged" anywhere. Well, now I know!

But I, too, didn't think a hammy could get wedged in anything that wasn't smaller than a sieve!
