About 1 week after I had brought home my new babies, I decided it was time to take them out of their cage to play. I had purchased a harness type leash because I didn't want him to jump off of me (I have a cat who was very interested in them). I put the leash on, which wasn't easy, and took Daisy out. He was doing fine at first. Then my cat came into the room and he tried to jump away from me. However, the leash was on and him jumping just caused it to get VERY tight. The neck loop slide down around his belly. The leash became soooooo tight I couldn't even get a fingernail underneath it. I ended up having to get leather gloves (to save my poor hands from his bites) on and hold him down while my husband CAREFULLY! cut off the leash. I didn't think little Daisy would ever trust me again. Luckily he wasn't that traumatized and came out the next day (minus a leash of course). <P>Just a little warning.

Guess I can throw away that hamster leash!!!<P><BR>That is too much of a risk...thanks for the post!<P>------------------<BR>You Never Own The Glider,The Glider Owns You!!!<BR>Wicket :o<BR>Lynn
