Chrissy Teigen and family recently brought home a hamster, and her hijinks have been entertaining all of Twitter ever since.
The hamster, whose name is Peanut Butter, took a little while to settle in as part of the family.
The day they brought Peanut Butter home, Chrissy tweeted:
"Luna and I bought a hamster today. Her name is peanut butter. John is not thrilled, which makes me love her more."
She has been developing her skills as an escape artist over the last few days.
Chrissy posted a slightly panicked tweet the first time Peanut Butter got out:
welp the hamster got out. just what you all told me would happen— christine teigen (@christine teigen) 1552308590.0
But Peanut Butter was found within a matter if hours.
found her!!— christine teigen (@christine teigen) 1552325481.0
Apparently there were people criticizing her choice of hamster enclosure, so she bought a better one.
I just bought her a two story glass condo with a hammock so please stop yelling at me— christine teigen (@christine teigen) 1552326191.0
It didn't arrive in time to thwart the next escape, though, as she got out again the very next day.
Oh my fuckin g the hamster is gone again— christine teigen (@christine teigen) 1552403624.0
Unlike her previous escape, it was more than a couple of hours before Peanut Butter was located this time.
Chrissy resorted to using safe traps suggested by fans on Twitter.

There were some people who felt the need to criticize Chrissy's hamster rearing skills, and she was having none of it.

Pets can be a source of chaos in our lives, but they also enrich them. Life just wouldn't be the same without our furry, feathered, and scaly friends.
