More Cuteness

These photos will make one wanna squeeze-squash this little boy boy. He has already won over Scrump's owner when she came over the other day. =)

Angry look

Surprised look

Blunt look -> -__-"

Curious look

One-Leg Skipper

The bad news awaits for the owners after they came back from their wedding. A day later, I saw Skippy limping and her hind leg was in an awkward position, my worst fear came true. The doctor suggested amputation without even the need to put a cast to see if the bones could join back.

Hamnosaurus

Hence, once again Skippy went into the operation room and this time round it took a toll on her. Although she survived the operation, but she emerged with a tear-stained face and her expression screamed pain. She was sort of relieved to see me and she seek the usual consolation from me. Co-owner took a video of me consoling her (it was kindda hilarious actually) but I don't know how to upload it here via Iphone.

"Nooo, don't let me into that place again!!"

Tear-stained face

Anyway, after a few weeks of medication and rehab, we finally put Skippy back to stay with Scar. Once again, both hamsters cannot see eye-to-eye with each other but nice little Scar is more accomodating to his handicap comrade. Little Skip is fine now. Aye, one-leg Skipper!

Neck-breaking Sleep Pose

Found Scar sleeping in such position this afternoon. I don't know about him, but if it was me, I would have easily gotten the stiff-neck syndrome after sleeping with the head in this awkward pose. (o.O)

Uniquely hamster style!

Three Headed Hamster

The guess on Who's Who staying together.


The answer: Scar and Skippy are housemates now. The verdict? Scar is not happy that his home is being utilised by another hammy and Skippy is not happy with Scar who didn't like to share his things.


But, I think they should be fine. =D

Departure Of Scratch

We are sad to say Scratch boy boy departed from us on Sept 11. =( Found him passed on when I returned home at night.

My boy has been battling with serious warts growth. Though Scratch boy is rather weak due to his old age and sickness, he was rather active and would insist on coming out to have a walk around the room. His sudden passing is quite sad but at least he will not suffer anymore pain.

His 'furneral' was held on Sept 12. RIP Scratch. :(

Guess Who & Who

Due to lack of resources, the Hamsty avenue new policy is to combine housing.

Guess who and who?

Hi There Handsome

There was a joke which we previously cracked on Scar, the white hammy we adopted. As he was quite young then, we have doubts over his gender. One day, a conversation went (pardon the coarse words used):-

Me: "He looks like he has no balls..." (holding Scar & checking his organs)
Co-owner: "Is boy. Maybe have not develop. Still young."
Me: "What if he is female?"
Co-owner (without hesistation): "Then we call him Scarlet."
Me: -___-

Co-owner's straight-forward reply is really priceless.



By now, Scar no longer has the scar on his nose and has evolved into a very handsome likeable boy. Co-owner currently likes him alot because this little one always lick co-owner's nose when he placed his face near the cage. And yes, he is confirmed a male despite his feminine face. =D

Hamnobyl

This was the first time that the Hamsty hammies' lives are disrupted. The owner's home underwent some minor renovation but the situation was appalling. No matter how their cages were covered, the dust & debris found its way in. Scratch's whose cage was situated on the top had his eyes affected by the dust. In a bid to save all the hammies, the owner quickly bundled them up and fled to co-owner's house for refuge. In the whole month of July, the hamsters spent their time in their makeshift cages while the whole Hamsty World shut down.

Now, the hamsters finally settled down back to their original houses. Could see that they were overjoyed as they return back to their home. It was sad that EG never made it back to his old mansion. But during his final days, we managed to give him back his ham-head hideout. The little one was so happy that he slumped half his body in and refused to move.

All is well now and Hamsty's blog is resuming its regular business. =D

A Farewell To Earl Grey

Our favourite boy passed on this morning. EG has been getting weaker as each day passes. Yesterday, I came home to a frail him sitting solemnly at one corner. Gave him food and he ate some. After patting his head, his cataract eyes seem to look at me (abeit sad) but he laid to one side and sleep.

This morning, I found him motionless under the beddings. It looks like Herbie has already done a pre-burial for him by covering his body with a mould of beddings. The anxious little squeak was jumping about when I removed his body and she was not pacified even when I gave her a new bowl of food.

EG's 'furneral' will be held tonight.
