RIP

Good bye, Cream. You were wonderful.

She was still running the wheel this afternoon, yet no one saw her pass away. She was a great hamster, and still is in our hearts.

This is her life: recorded down

Our current setup

Part 2

The long long awaited part 2!!!

Apologies guys. Got caught up with work, but rest assured, the hammies and gerbies are all carefully tended too on a daily basis, or whenever we walk past their tank area.

Fatty lives in the biggest cage of them all. Her plastic box is durable, accessible and livable. Her entire floor is covered with fluffy bedding, and she often makes a nice mound to sleep on. Fatty eats the most too, as she is the biggest. She's also the first of our hamsters to use the toilet we gave her. She comes toilet trained =)

Salt and Pepper live together. Well, almost. They are separated by the divider in their cage, as we do not want them to mate. They still remain the best of friends, and they enjoy playing together in the playpen. Sometimes, they can be found lying next to each other by the divider. They groom each other through the bars, and Salt loves climbing up to the top, even doing monkey bars. Perhaps she's showing off to Pepper? =P

Last but not least...BUTTER! He's the fastest, the smallest, the hardest to catch, and a whole lot of other superlatives which there aren't English words for. He's our only roborovski hamster at the moment, and he's white-faced too! He runs at the speed of light, and is not very easy to catch. He has the best cage in a tank setup.

More to come!
