There is a golden hamster in "Triss"! It was quite a nice surprise, considering I have a hamster and that hamsters aren't really native to Britain, I believe.

Do note: Golden Hamster are probably extinct in the wild (hasn't been a wild one seen in 50 odd years), the best place to see one is in a pet shop, and they never lived in Britain. It's probably a Common Hamster. They live all across Europe. Did BJ actually say in the story if it was a GOLDEN hamster, or was it just "hamster"? BJ is known for not specifying species.

Why do they use a sterilized needle for lethal injections?

BJ specified it as golden, and King Sarengo, ruler of Riftguard before King Agarnu(who is his son) chose the hamster as his personal slave because of his golden color.

Yeah, that was a neat surprise. :) Always nice to see a new creature in the series.

President of The Long Patrol

Vanessa-- "golden" is never capitalized, but neither is "hamster". But, they are used in conjunction with one another, repeatedly.

Here are two relevant excerpts to base your deductions from:

Quote:

Triss, Chapter 28, page 253

A faint smile crossed the Abbot's homely face. "I'm not a king, my friend. You may call me Abbot or Father, whichever you please. Tell me, though, you must have quite a story to relate. Perhaps you'd honour us later?"

The golden hamster nodded as he reached for more cheese. "Story, me? Hoho, I'll say I have. I'll tell it all to ye later, soon as I've taken enough o' these good vittles aboard. Wunnerful stuff, ain't it, yore Abbotship!"

Quote:

Triss, Chapter 28, page 254

"I don't remember havin' a mother or father. All that I recall was bein' a very young slave at Riftgard, an awful place, up in the high north, beyond the great seas. A fierce white ferret called Sarengo was the King there. Huh, nobeast disobeyed ole Sarengo. But he liked my golden fur, so I became the King's personal slave. I was luckier than the rest o' the other pore beasts who were slaves at Riftgard. Sarengo's fat, lazy son, Agarnu, treated 'em cruel. He was a bad 'un!"

There are later instances of him being referred to only as "the hamster", although "golden hamster" reappears again, as well. I leave the judgment up to you. ;)

Oh well. Ferrets are domestic animals too. I don't think much of albinos.
But I can't believe he's a goodbeast. In real life, hamsters are very aggressive. Ah, stereotypes.

Badgers eat hare children in real life. I don't want THAT in Redwall books! :O

And mice eat baby mice. Erk. So do hamsters.
