Woman has hamster stuffed to look like a pole dancer with notes in its G-string

Pets are massively important parts of our lives, with many treating them as our own siblings or children.

When a beloved pet dies there are many ways to memorialise them, from having them cremated to getting a tattoo of them or keeping their collar.

One less common way of keeping our pets in our lives is through the art of taxidermy, which preserves and stuffs the animal.

But one pet owner has chosen a much less traditional pose for her beloved hamster.

Jess Porter-Langson, 27, was devastated when her Roborovski dwarf hamster, named Hammington, died last August after having him for three years.

She wanted to do ‘something special’ to immortalise him – so found a local taxidermy artist to turn Hammington, also known as Hammy, into a pole dancing stripper.

Jess’s ‘iconic’ pet is captured in all his glory, wearing a bright pink thong stuffed with dollar bills as he ‘hustles for money’, clinging onto a stripper pole.

She keeps the taxidermy piece, which cost her £175, next to her bed.
