On Sunday (18 June), a local animal welfare organisation came across a large group of hamsters in Bedok Town Park.
Presumably abandoned, they were left without a cage and had become drenched in the rain.

In addition, the informant who tipped them off sent them videos of the drenched hamsters huddling together in the rain.
Upon reaching the site, volunteers with the organisation were subsequently able to locate most of the 20 hamsters in the area opposite 709 Bedok Reservoir.
An attached video shows them wriggling around in the grass, drenched and shivering.
HSS added that they feared some were still hiding in the surrounding area.
They have urged those nearby to keep a lookout for any hamsters that may still be roaming around.
Speaking to MS News, the organisation shared that the number of hamsters discovered has come up to 21.

Those who manage to find the rest of the hamsters can thus alert HSS by messaging them directly on Facebook or Instagram.
