There is no point getting a kid a hamster, its always asleep. Its a nocturnal animal. A couple of rats however make  great pet's, they like human company, they are very friendly and affectionate and like to play, kids love them.

I had a dc08 in once it had no suction, sounded horrible and really did pong 🤢 Turns out it was full of parrot crap and was clogged everywhere with it it had been used without a filter and seed had got into the fan 🤔

We had one recently full of rabbit droppings and blocked up with bits of straw (probably wee soaked)  :sick0012:

I've pulled a mutilated rat out of a sanitaire, bloody bandages and all sorts of good stuff, my personal favorite is when a households cats/dogs/etc select the vacuum as a urinal. Those sticky, yellow machines are probably the grossest things I've ever smelled in my entire life. Right up there with old dog Kirby outer cloth bags. Nasty.

Just refurb'ed a DC26, and it was full of mud, an insane amount of polyester stuffing (the type inside stuffed animals/pet toys) and the turbine head clogged with damp Wal-mart receipts pressed into a solid mass. I'm new here (Hi!) and might do a little writeup on the process.

Way way back when, in junior high, I worked on a project that required a high-wattage fan motor, and someone's parents' friend donated to us an old Hoover that had been run without a bag in place. It was inexplicably filled with the obliterated remains of a head of garlic...

Mildly related, but I'm always astounded at how many eBay listings I see that are proud to include a half-full bag already fitted, as if old carpet dust was a great bonus.
