The SPCA in Fredericton is bursting at the seams with Hamsters. The animal shelter tells CBC that five of six abandoned hamsters that arrived at the SPCA in early May tuned out to be pregnant females. They all gave birth and now the SPCA has 54 of the little critters to care for. Making matters worse, the Syrian breed hamsters don’t live well together as the age and will soon start attacking and possibly injuring one another if left together. The SPCA is hoping loving families will come forward to adopt the hamsters for a small fee of $10.

Gagetown Bridge Reopens with Dedication to Fallen Soldier
A bridge at a military base in New Brunswick has been rededicated to a fallen soldier after undergoing extensive repairs. The Sergeant Ralph Bridge at the 5th Canadian Division Support Base in Gagetown was reopened on Saturday. Several relatives of Sergeant Michael Ralph, who died during a U-N mission in Croatia nearly 25 years ago, attended the rededication ceremony in his honour. The bridge has been reconstructed to support heavy-armoured vehicles as they cross the Nerepis River into the military training area.
