Homeward Bound

Time passes so fast and Nibs & Oreo went home to their owner yesterday. It has been great fun having the two of them here. The nights were lively (Nibbles ran alot!) and the days kept busy playing with them.

The co-owner's plans to ham-nap Nibs weren't successful though. Haha. My plan to make them fat fat also failed. :(

Hope you two enjoy your stay here. :)

Scrapbooking

The last few weeks, the hammies were wondering what the owner was doing quietly at one corner. *sounds of scissors snipping and papers flying around*

Hamsty World has been on digital all the while and now a book for the first generation has been created. So happy to put them all in a book, but sadly, DLLG and Speedy were left out. Did not have a good picture of them both. (T_T)

Here are a few more pages.

I really have ugly handwrittings. -.-"

Devastated

Spritez my little one. Found a wart growing on her abdomen. My heart literally sank. (T_T) Although this punky little one is still very active and happy, I'm the least happy about it.

My little Spritez, you have been one of my naughtiest and cutest hammies, and you always know how to communicate with me and have your way every time. Since the day I picked you up from SPCA, you are always with me. Just can't bear the thought of you having any health problems. :(

The Real Speedy Gonzales

*Warning* If you have motion sickness, please do not watch this video.

Everytime I watch Scratch runs, I would really get dizzy. He's like a bullet shooting thru'. It's almost like a game of pinball! The real speedy runner.

Trapped

Came home and found Nibbles trapped on the top storey of his cage because the tube came off.

I wonder how long did he stay on the top cos' I came home quite late today. :D

Getting Better

The tilted head is getting straighter and little Scratch is no longer running in circles that much. That's great news to us. And the little one now knows how to run the wheel (yup, he previously don't even touch it) and is really one fast hammie. We realize that he's got Yoshi's running style and Mochi's fitness level.


Not to mention, he does eat alot (like Moch).

Oreo's Protest

Don't call Oreo old, she can really climb and is still as active as ever. Here's the little one protesting to come out. She is already at the top of the bars!

But when she's in the playpen, she just snooze. -__-?

Hamlet's Playtime

When Hamlet is out, she runs everywhere. This time on the bed.

"Koff! I'm flatten!"

Hamlet is actually following the same pose as my leg, but my stumpy legs must not be seen by public. ^__^

"Where am I now??"

Lovely Hammy

Nibs is such a darling. The co-owner loves him so much that everytime when he comes over, the first thing he'll do is call: "Nibs Nibs!" And then, it's playtime with little Nibbles.

"You're calling me?"

The Story Of Little Scratch

It was a big mistake to go into the petshop last night. =.=" In fact in the daytime, I had already went to PLC, but later in the evening I went to Pet Safari again. To look for the wooden house which Reverie had asked me to (sadly there is no discount for the house she wanted). Right when we stepped in, we saw an all-white baby ham running around actively. Both co-owner and me exclaimedly in union: "Mochi!!!!!" We were just very attracted to this little twerp. It's different from the rest of them pearl whites because everyone had their dorsal strips while this twerp totally didn't have any.

"Look like a very young Mochi."

After looking at the price of the house in dismay, I stepped out of the shop ready to go home when co-owner pulled me back to the little twerp.

Co-owner: "Honey, you look at him." *expressed deep interest*
Me: "So? We have 12 mousey in da house!"
Co-owner: "Where got 12?"
Me: "Oreo and Nibs is with us now!"
Co-owner: "Look at this poor mousey."


There sat the little twerp in one corner looking in a daze. All the rest of them babies had companions and were happily cuddling together, but this little one curled around alone far from everyone. Looking closely, we found one of his ears had a fresh red wound. We decided to leave the shop but after making a step forward, we returned back and decided to bring him back home with us.



The wound at his ear was not all that I found out. Later in the night, I found out that we really bought a defective hamster. This little twerp has vestibular disease syndrome. He was running around in circles the whole night and his head was not straight. This hamster defect is commonly known as 'head tilt' which either results from infections or stroke. It usually will cause the hamster to run in circles (known as circling) and tripping ocassionally due to instability.



So. That is why I just have this very strong intuition to buy you home right from the start when I saw you. Well, after knowing your defects, I realised that you are really destined to stay with us. :)

"Doesn't he look like Mochi?"
