zamster bam it's a hamster!

Cookie and creamy have interesting moods. Like...yesterday morning they refused to come out of their houses no matter how we called them and only came out when no one was looking to get at their food. Nearly freaked me out cos I thought they were dead in the house.

But thankfully they were not! Stuck their noses out in the late afternoon, but still had to tornado their house to get them out. Poor them,,.but they must move about at least! Which they were last night, running the wheel at turbo speeds to make the glunk glunk glunk noise =)

Peanut butter both have adopted the cute hammie look ever since two three days ago. They grew a butt with white fur and their body fur turned....molted? Still brown, but molted colour. They are still easily startled but they 1) don't shoot out of the hand, 2) stay super still for at least two minutes, both of which are remarkable milestones in their growth.

They are just so adorable =)

Both Herby and Gerby (or, herbygerbyherbygerbyherbygerby......ad infinitum =P) enjoy running about. Place them in the pen and zoom they go off on a cross country circuit in circles. The ball with the bell also proved to be a hit with herbs, he balances on his hind legs and runs after the ball! Gerbs is more frightened of it. And they absolutely enjoy the envelope, run in and out crinkle and flip it all over. Not to mention that they were picked up and sealed in the envelope but apparently they quickly forgot that experience.

And of course, cotton. He got the corn treat, same as cooks and cream, and he enjoys climbing all over his cage like a ninja. Or tarzan. =) I can be sitting there looking at him, then turn away for 10 seconds and he's on top of the cage. Is that good or what? I hope that what he has keeps him entertained, and I'm slightly worried cos he's starting to smell hamster (he has never had had a powder bath!).
