I admit, I probably should've gone online to check out the nutritional "do/do not" list for hamsters, but my reasoning was pretty straightforward: Gobo likes corn, so he probably likes corn chips. I gave him a sliver of Dorito once and he seemed to enjoy it.
So I decided to slip him a Frito the other day. I thought he'd pull it through the bars of his cage and nibble at it like a cute little mouse. Nope. Instead, he shoved the entire length of it into one of his cheek pouches. It was incredibly funny and also disturbing, like watching the lady deep-throat the kielbasa in Howard Stern's
Private Parts.
He didn't die or anything, but I think I'll stick to raisins and apple slices in the future.
