Nibbles was first seen at the school on a very snowy day when the only people who came to school were Principal Skinner, Groundskeeper Willie and barely enough students to fill one classroom. They ended up getting snowed in when the snow continued. The students rebelled against Principal Skinner, tied him up in a dodgeball sack and took charge of the school. Seeking help, Skinner put Nibbles and a note asking for help into the hamster's exercise ball and pushed it out the window. The rescue attempt appeared doomed for failure as Nibbles only got a few yards away from the school before falling through the snow.
Homer later pressed Nibbles into service as an astronaut to fly a sophisticated model rocket that the nerd trio of Benjamin, Doug and Gary had built for him. Before making 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 put the rocket back on course, but Nibbles ejected from the rocket instead of following the instructions. As Nibbles parachuted to safety, the rocket went completely out of control and eventually crashed into the First Church of Springfield.[2]
