Oh those Wacky Students

And the zany hamster-posting pranks they get up to...

Bizarre story. And possibly more disturbing because they're at Cambridge and, you'd *think* have at least some intellegence but with quotes like this, it appears not -

When asked why he gave a false name and address when purchasing the hamster, Jordan said: "Because I thought it would be a bit suspicious posting a hamster if I got caught."

Yes. Just a bit.

EDIT - according to the BBC they got fined and banned from owning animals for 10 years.
Personally I think this is going completely the wrong way. They should have been sent to work at a vets or animal shelter so they could see first hand what happens when people mistreat animals and hopefully learn a bit of empathy and feeling for something other than their over-priviledged selves.

Oh. And given a hefty kick up the arse too.
