When I saw this picture, I couldn't help but keep on smiling despite knowing the hamster is sick. So cute! I guess that is the cutest medical invention ever created. :p The ham obviously didn't like it though. (^.^)
After a few weeks stalking out in the hallway, Detective Hamlet finally debunks the 7th month ghostly encounter myth! Yay for Hamlet. She is granted back to stay in the bedroom with all the other dwarfs. :)
Heh heh, ok. Like old gramps' saying, "there's no such thing as ghost." Everything has a scientific reasons. Moreover, I think most of my RIP hammies pass away peacefully and were given proper burial, so there is no reasons for them to come back and haunt. :)
Back to Hamlet. After looking thru' some forum posts which post photos of the slient spinner, I now who what the heck that wheel looks like. Goon me, I've been having those wheels for my dwarfs and yet I don't know about it. Apparently, I have been buying the Japanese brand Wild, which is the same wheel. So we got the large one and gave it to Hamlet. Yay, no more noise!
Somehow I get the feeling she still prefers her old noisy wheel.....
Barely a few months down the road, she transforms into a big fat obese hamster!!
Not only she is 2 times the size of Timid Tardy, she has becomes the fattest hammie in the Hamsty family. "Chan Mali Chan", you need to do something about your weight eh. I really can't help but call you "Fatso" now you know. (^^)
Notice how her big butt wiggles when she runs. Tsk tsk. I couldn't help but laugh. Ringo, you really are fat fat. Heehee.
And I really wonder why all my girl hammies are always super plump.... (??)
We just barely celebrate your 2 year old birthday, my Tardy boy. You were so happy and as agile as ever, always jumping around. Then a few days ago, you did not come down and greet me the usual way. I have to pull you out from the top storey to give you goodnight kiss. But you showed no signs of sickness at all. :(
Dwarfie Retardy stopped breathing on Friday 05th Sept 2008 around 8.15pm. Before he took his final breath, he was crying. His tears soaked thru' the tissue paper we wrapped him up. Little Tardy was laid to rest at 9pm. Really miss his greeting whenever we came home, really miss his pouncing out of the cage when we open the door for him. :(
Stubby really is an expert in nest-making. He uses the cotton to make a cave that fits snuggly one little ham in it. And the foundation is so strong that it won't go out of shape when the wind blows.
I'm so proud of you lil' Stubby. You are a male hamster and yet you are so good in making a nest. :)
