Oh man, I am not naming any animal Houdini or hoodini. I ended up with a friend's hamster named houdini when she moved. They named it Houdini becuase they ran into a store for a min, and discovered the hamster had chewed its way out of the box and was loose in the car. After assuming ownership, we could not keep that animal in a cage for long periods of time. She chewed through everything and anything we tried to keep her inside the cage didn't work for long. At least every time she got out the poodle let us know where she was.
