Hamster Health Alert

Veterinarians are warning about a new syndrome affecting hamsters, gerbils and other small animals. The disease, known as “berry-berry,” is caused by eating too many strawberries and causes the sufferer to actually turn into a strawberry, starting with the head.

Enjoy nearly four minutes of animals eating — with captions!

YouTuber Agavem attached a camera to food in order to capture this video of animals eating. A clever enough idea, but this video goes the extra mile with helpful closed captions, including “cucumber squeaking” and “banana masticating.” (Click the “CC” icon in the video to see them.)

Treat Time for Fiona

The word “hippopotamus” comes from the Greek for “water horse,” so what could be a better treat for a water horse than watermelon? Well, maybe “water oats,” but that’s not a real thing so just enjoy Fiona take a few tentative nibbles on mama Bibi’s watermelon snack.

A tasty treat from Gigi the cat lady.
