Last night I was asleep, and I woke to this LOUD crashing noise. I was petrified. I wasn't sure if it was from my apartment or the basement apartment, but it was so loud, and I froze. I spent a few minutes trying to decide what to do. Then I decided that I needed to go explore and figure out what was going on. I went in Z's room and his hamster cage had flung itself across the room!!!!! I have NO IDEA how this happened. The hamsters were stunned. Piglet was hard to catch, and Hermoine bit me when I picked her up (she never bites).

I went in my son's bedroom this morning and saw that a shelf was knocked down from one of his bookshelves. I do not know HOW the hamster cage fell though. The bookshelf is beside the dresser but the contents fell on the next bookshelf. The picture behind Z's dresser is still on the wall. I have NO CLUE how the cage fell!!

I took pics of the mess. The hamsters are in the blue cage you will see in the left corner of one of the pics. I need to see if there's a way to save the other cage as it cracked in a few places and the door is broken off.

awwwwwwwwwwwwww Hope all is well

It must have been scary to wake up to a sound like that. I'm just glad they weren't hurt.

i'm glad nothing happend and they are o.k

That is scary, would have scared the living daylights out of me, I'm glad they are alright.

how did the cage fall?
glad nothing happened 2 them.

perhaps your son bonked it in his sleep?
