Ok I did some goggling and can't find the truth, however I'm now more sure they're not blowing him up

Of course they're not blowing up the hamster! That would be unethical, immoral, probably illegal, very hard to clean up, and, most importantly, lasers don't blow things up, they vapourise them.

They vapourise the hamsters.

I don't know where you're getting your information from. "Hamsters" is actually a misleading term because there is only one hamster on Earth and he is immortal. He travels through time and overlaps his own timeline frequently, creating the illusion of multiple hamsters. As he ages, he grows very slowly and the patterns on his fur change, which is why he looks different sometimes. You should probably say a few hail hamsters now because he doesn't like when people make jokes about his demise — and he can bite.

The proper term is Miniature Giant Space Hamster
