This week’s BPOC is a Tory hamster
Look at its little face
This week’s Big Pet on Campus is Pippin, the Clarendon Road Hamster.
Sex: M
Breed: Syrian
Celebrity Crush: He hasn’t told anyone, but Beyonce seems the most likely.
Likes: Sleeping anywhere but his hamster bed and climbing up the bars of his cage
Dislikes: Daytime, The Labour Party
Age: Eight Weeks

Favourite band: Eagles of Death Metal
Ambition: To get as high as he can in the hamster game

Pippin is a new addition to Clarendon Road’s flat of medics, who say they needed the company. His loud night time antics on his hamster wheel have caused boyfriends to leave the flat in frustration.
