Nibbles was a class pet at Springfield Elementary School, although he seemed to leave the school.
History[edit]
Nibbles returns from his rescue attempt.
Astronaut Nibbles says goodbye to his wife.
Nibbles was first seen at the school on a snowy day when the only people who went to school were Principal Skinner, Groundskeeper Willie, and barely enough students to fill one classroom. They ended up getting snowed in as the snow continued. The students rebelled against Skinner, tied him up in a dodgeball sack, and took control of the school. Seeking help, Skinner placed Nibbles and a note asking for help into the hamster's exercise ball and pushed it out the window. The rescue attempt seemed doomed as Nibbles only made it a few yards from the school before falling through the snow.
Nibbles eventually made it out and ended up saving Homer and Ned, who had tried to drive to the school to rescue the kids. Ned's car hit a fire hydrant, got stuck in the ice, and its interior filled with exhaust fumes. Homer and Ned were about to suffocate when Nibbles (still in his exercise ball) crashed through the windshield, bringing in fresh air. The ice then thawed, allowing Homer and Ned to drive on. They accidentally freed the snowbound school when they hit a silo of cracker salt, spilling it and melting most of the snow. Still in his exercise ball, Nibbles rolled up to Skinner, who was still tied up in the dodgeball bag. Skinner congratulated Nibbles for bringing help and then asked him to "chew through my ball sack," to which Nibbles only responded by staring quizzically at him.[1]
Homer later used Nibbles as an astronaut to pilot a sophisticated model rocket that the nerd trio of Benjamin, Doug, and Gary had built for him. Before the flight, Nibbles said goodbye to his wife and five babies (she had already eaten three). During the flight, the rocket went off course. Homer radioed a set of instructions to Nibbles to correct the course, but Nibbles ejected from the rocket instead. As Nibbles parachuted to safety, the rocket spun out of control and eventually crashed into the First Church of Springfield.[2]
After Lisa rescued a raccoon, Miss Hoover decided Lisa should take care of Nibbles, as she was the most qualified. However, Lisa forgot about him, and he became stressed from the lack of attention. Lionel Budgie and Lisa performed surgery on him, but he passed away. A funeral was held for him at Springfield Elementary.[3]
