In which the Rodent Wars begin…
If the Mossflower/Redwall books were anything like this, I would have been SO scarred as a child.
Of all the rodent classes, I thoroughly believe hamsters are the most diabolical. They are not as fast or outwardly violent as their cousins the gerbils, but they are smarter, and deeper thinkers.
I swear one time I saw an escaped feral hamster set up an ambush on a squirrel using the severed head of a rattlesnake and an acorn. Why would he do this? Because hamsters revel in suffering.
I’ve been thinking all day of a glorious battle between hamsters and their unyielding ninja gerbil army scorching the earth from West to East while the forces of the mice, astride gentle but stubbornly loyal guinea pigs (whose battle cry many of you have heard repeatedly) rally with their newfound allies the squirrels and flying squirrels against the Tide of Darkness.
Oh yeah, and moles. those things are EVIL
