What's in the box?
|
I saw this little box
with the words "Pet Safari" on my table. My friend had left a gift. :D Hmm maybe
it's a guinea pig! I would love to have a guinea pig!
|
It's not a guinea pig.
|
Open sesame! Not a
guinea pig, it's two hamsters ... nooo I want a guinea pig! ... but wait,
don't the dark brown one looks like a dead ringer for Braveheart?
|
|
Their lives almost ended prematurely
cause my Mum thought that it was a cake box and almost put it in the fridge.
Luckily my friend has the good sense of telling my mum that the box is living.
My friend didn't have the good sense, unfortunately, to buy hamsters of the same
sex. The argente coloured hamster is
a male and Braveheart Jr is a female. Arrgh ... I am going to get a colony of
hamsters soon.
|
Not quite tall enough ...
|
I realised how tiny they
were. Firstly, they were smaller than my (not very big) thumb. Then I looked at
my other hamster Braveheart and realised that Braveheart
suddenly looks like a guinea pig (I am still obsessing about them).
|
|
The compelling factor that leads me to
conclude that the hamsters are babies is that I need to place a food dish under
the water bottle to let them reach the water bottle. There, I rest my case.
|
Ouch!
|
I am starting to worry
that the friendship of the two hams will leads to premature procreating. I
certainly can do without a litter of baby hamsters. The hammies are so loving
... they eat, sleep, play, walk and practically do everything together.
|
|
They are unlike those solitary hamsters
you read about in books that fight savagely for space and food. Except when it
comes to sharing a drink.
|
Aftermath
|
Braveheart-lookalike
seems to be offended over the waterbottle fight.
|
Awww ...
|
Here's a picture of them
sleeping together. Apple (left) is resting his head on Orange. Erm ... did I
call them Apple and Orange? I thought I saw them give me a malicious glare and
bare their fangs when I call them that.
|
|
Decided to call the male Waffie
(Somehow, he looks like a waffle to me.) and the female Miffy. (So that
their names rhythm). So now they have proper names.
|
This wheel is faulty!
|
One of the reasons why
it's so difficult to live with together with another (hamster) is that you have
to constantly consider the other's interests besides your own, such as not
staying stationary on the wheel when the other hamster wants to have a run.
|
That's the way!
|
Practice makes perfect.
|
Olympics Hopefuls.
|
After being subjected to
watching days of Olympics action with me on the televison, the hamsters have
resolved to take part in the ball games events for next Olympics.
