Evil Weevil

19th December 2009

Found in Daddy Hamster’s cage:

DH weevil

I had just cleaned his cage a couple of days ago, so I suspected that the weevil came from the food! I hope that I don’t have to discard the newly opened bag of food :-(

Vet said that these weevils are harmless. Nevertheless, since then, I have cleaned DH’s cage with bleach & threw away his cardboard hideouts.

    I looked it up, they’re literally called “weevils.” They can be found in grains (cereals, rice, oats, etc).

    Oh, I don think we see these weevils in tiny island. We have a smaller bug which we called ‘ku’ but I don’t know how to translate to English. =)
