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.

They have urged those nearby to keep a lookout for any hamsters that may still be roaming around.
