Kung-fu Mousey

We bought the Marukan cotton balls for the hamsty to bunk. Oh, the thot of cool weather and they would appreciate the warmth of the cotton.

But....

*everyone was kung-fu fighting, hya*

The mousey thot those cottonballs were kung-fu balls and they started attacking it! Hyaa! *bish bish*

Boring

I'm bored.

Product Review: Books about Hamsters

Though in this era, information can be obtained from the internet. Better yet, check in forums and interact with others, ingexperiences. But somehow, knowledge in the traditional way still come from books. Personally, I recommend these 3 books are a hamster owner 'must have'.


Training Your Pet Hamster - Gerry Buscsis & Barbara Someville

It encompass some good information on how to basic-train the hamsters. Some good instructions on how to potty-train them, getting them to react to your calling and leash-walking these tiny rascals.

My say: The procedures worked more on Syrian hamsters, but on dwarfs, it's kindda hard to potty train them. More likely they use the toilet as their bedroom. Dwarfs totally hate leashes. Mine has since thrown away! But the knock-knock technique is a very good way to let the hamsters familarise you.

Dwarf Hamsters - Sharon L.

Provides info about all the species of dwarf hamsters. From Roborovskis to Winter Whites to Campbells and to the rare Chinese hamsters. This book introduced from the origins of each species to their behaviours, as well as the mating process for each species. It also teaches on the handling of these tiny ones.

My say: Many owners often confuse on differentiating the species. This book provides a good guide to catergorize the hamsters. It specifically address on the behaviours on each species, very useful for the owners to identify. Apart from that, it consists precise info pertaining to dwarfs only.

Hamsterlopaedia - Chris Logsdail, Peter Logsdail & Kate Hovers

This book encompass all types of hamsters, from Syrian to dwarfs. Specifying the hamster symptoms and illness from A-Z. It also provide detailed anatomy of the hamsters. Massive information is available on the mating process and the outcome of the mating. This provide breeders good knowledge on breeding. Overall, this book contains alot of scientific information.

My say: Very detailed and scientifically explains. The A-Z gives owners a good guide to identify the health of their hamsters. A good book that the owners will find handy.

All books are found in Amazon[dot]com.

Munch Munch!

It is the best of both world if you can slack and eat at the same time. Like me!

Whitehead showing us how to live life as a hammy.

Retardy Retardy Retardy

A trip down memory lane when the 3 Retardies are still babies. Here's a short vidz of them when they were young.

Treetop Garden

The new Habitrail carboard design sure is good to create a playground for the hamsters. It reminds me of Maple Story. It just looks like the backdrop in those Maplestory forest. And my mouseys now have a treetop house and a playpen that they can enjoy for hours. :)

Here's a short video of Ruddie in exploring the playground.

Fatty The Lazy Bum

What a lazy hammie!

zzzZZZzzz

My Precious

Dubbed as "Snoppy" because like Snop, Fatty loves to climb on top of his wooden chair top and sleep there. He's the only hamster that can talk back to you. He loves to make noise with the tank lid when he's hungry, thirsty, or when he is plain bored and wants to come out to play. He's also the greatest escape artist! Once he got trapped under the bed for hours. Since there was no way out, he litterally bite the wood to make the same sounds to say he wanted out.

Nicknamed Stiggy, I wish he could be with us for life. Our little baby.

Speedy Gonzales

*insert Cliff Richard's prolude*

Speedy scurried here and there. Speedy running around the box. Speedy don't like to be hold on and he dodge your hand. Speedy was ever so active. He was so young and so alive.

Then one day Speedy decided to run away from home. Couldn't find him anywhere. And dead he float, on the toilet bowl. Speedy *sob sob* one of the third batch hammies from Chiko and Naughty.

The Second Batch

Meet Stuart & Stoot.

Stuart is most prized because he is a white hammie. But of cos', we love naughty Stoot as well (not his constant biting though).

The two cute brothers. While Stoot is hyperactive, Stuart is the lazy bum lying where-ever he could.
