Tink, a 2-year-old hamster, was found lifeless in her cage by Lisa Kilbourne-Smith, 23, and her boyfriend James Davis, 24, who were watching her for a friend, Stroud News and Journal reported.
Believing Tink to be dead, the couple phoned the hamster’s owner about the news. They then wrapped the hamster in a paper towel and buried her one foot below the surface in a flower bed.
The next day, on Good Friday, Tink had eaten her way out of the paper towel and dug out of the soil. Tink was discovered by Lisa’s father Les while he was in the garden, crushing boxes to recycle.
According to veterinarians, it was likely that Tink was hibernating, a common practice for hamsters. More
