    That's pretty cool. It will end up costing you a large cache of morgans though.

    Bottle sniffing hamster?

    S,

    "Bottle sniffing hamster?"

    When my boys were younger they had a
    hamster as a pet. At times they would let
    it out of the cage and play with it, let it
    walk and run just a bit. They also purchased
    one of those clear plastic balls; you place the
    the hamster in the ball and it runs in the ball,
    and the ball moves around the room, good
    exercise for the rat.

    One day I heard the plastic ball, repeatedly
    hitting into some bottles I had just brought
    into the house; this went on for some time
    and I had an idea.

    I started working with the hamster. I would
    bring some uncleaned bottles into the house
    and scatter the hamster food pellets around the
    bottles. I would let the hamster run free, without
    the ball; after a few days he learned that the
    bottles had pellets near them.

    Think anyone that digs bottles will tell you that
    over and over they have smelled a certain smell
    while they are digging, not offensive, best I can
    say, to me, it smells like a shoe polish.

    So.......................
    I now started placing the hamster in the plastic ball,
    took it outside with some uncleaned bottles
    and put the bottles in different locations. If he went
    to the bottles while he was in the ball, The hamster
    would get a treat.

    Now when I go out to a location bottle hunting, I take
    the ball and hamster with me. (would escape without the
    ball, if I took him in the woods). I sit back, smoke my pipe,
    perhaps a beer; and let the hamster go to work. It has some
    problems with logs and things laying on the forest floor, but
    I let it check out an area, move it, let it check again. If I
    notice the ball has stopped for a period of time, I dig. Sure
    enough, I trained me a bottle sniffing hamster.

    It was a good hamster but we had an accident with the
    other pets.















    have a good un.............

    Absolutely fantastic. I have to try drug dogs and money...I know people bury their cash...especially stolen or large amounts of it.

    Sandman. No one makes dive gear for hamsters. Maybe you should try a ring sniffin' turtle.

    Dig for Food, I tried the ring sniffing turtles and couldn't understand why they couldn't tell the difference between pull tab rings and gold rings. As for dive gear for hamsters, they have it for rats. Ever see the Abyss?
