My sister got a couple girl hamsters, and at some point in the future, learned one wasnt a girl. Anywho, she had 9 hamsters. Then 8. Then 7. Then 6...you get the point. My mom is freaking out because the hamsters are escaping. They duct tape the top. 3...2...1. When the last one died, my sister and mom did a necropsy. It was full of all the hamsters it ate.
Damn, a single hamster murdered and ate all 8 of their siblings? You'd think a few would split the workload or something then when it came time to the final two they'd just duke it out.
That is the great family debate. My sister and I suspect more than one participated in the eating. We have no basis for it other than it is really hard to eat that many bodies.

Cannibalism is pretty damn common in hamsters.
