I, Houdini
What's I, Houdini About
You may think Houdini is a strange name for a hamster, but if you’ve ever heard of the late Great Houdini, the most amazing escape-artist of all time, you’ll understand how I got my name. I’m proud to say that there hasn’t been a cage built that can hold me. I can climb, dive, wriggle, squeeze, or gnaw my way out of any prison they came up with. I have to admit that sometimes freedom leads to a bit of trouble–like getting cornered by the cat, ending up in the dog’s mouth, or being trapped in the freezing cold of a dark refrigerator. But I won’t be stopped! With a whole big world out there to explore, who wants to be held prisoner in a hamster cage?
