A homeless hamster in Scotland defied the odds to somehow survive a recent blizzard in the country, despite being forced to seek refuge on the streets of Edinburgh.<\/p>\n
It is not known how the female hamster ended up lost in the capital city, just as snow and sleet battered it earlier this week.<\/p>\n
Scottish SCPA officers have named the hamster Poppy and explained she is "very lucky" to have been rescued by a passer-by who quickly realised she was in danger.<\/p>\n
The charity's Duncan Robinson said: "Hamsters are fast creatures and can wriggle through small spaces so there is a chance she has escaped from home. However, we are keeping an open mind at this stage."<\/p>\n
Poppy is approximately one year old and was spotted on a pathway on a city centre street during the worst of the blizzard.<\/p>\n
However, she is now recovering well in the hands of the experts who work for the animal charity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
