Yo, what’s good y’all? It’s your boy Matt here and I got a hilarious story to share with you about the time I tried to smuggle a hamster into Australia.<\/p>\n
So, I was on vacation down under and I really wanted to surprise my niece with a pet hamster.<\/p>\n
I did my research and I was like “Hamsters<\/a> aren’t illegal in Australia, sweet!” So, I go to this pet store in the States, buy a cute little hammy, and pack him in my luggage.<\/p>\n I fly all the way to Australia and I’m feeling pretty good about myself. That is, until I get to customs.<\/p>\n I’m going through the baggage check and the customs officer stops me and says “What’s in the bag sir?” And I’m like “Oh, just some clothes and stuff.”<\/p>\n But then he’s like “I need to take a look.” So, I open the bag and the little hamster pops his head out. You should have seen the look on the officer’s face. It was a mixture of shock and disgust. Long story short, I got arrested and spent a night in the slammer.<\/p>\n It was a freakin’ nightmare. And the worst part? They wouldn’t even let me keep the hamster<\/a>. So, if you’re thinking about trying to sneak a hamster<\/a> into Australia, just don’t. Trust me.<\/p>\n Are hamsters illegal? Not exactly, but they are banned in Australia.<\/strong><\/p>\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div>
