There was a story on the list awhile back, maybe a year or two ago,
about a gerbil that was bought as snake food and he beat up the snake
pretty thoroughly!

According to the story, the snake owner returned the somewhat battered
(but living) gerbil to the petstore. Someone bought the gerb as a pet
and named him "Thor" after hearing the snake story.
