Lilypie Kids birthday PicSalt and Pepper

These two bundles of joy were born to Cotton and Cream on the 1st of April in 2009. They are both dwarf hamsters, of course, and as their name indicates, they are white and black respectively. Salt is female, and pepper is male.

Lilypie Kids birthday PicFatty

Our one and only Syrian hamster is one big female, and she cannot fit into one hand properly. She has a patched coat of gold and white, and is the cutest hamster of all, having an oh-so-cute! teddy bear face.

Lilypie Kids birthday PicButter

Butter is light brown, and he is our smallest hamster, being a Roborovski. He's also the fastest of them all, although his small legs do not bring him farther than the rest. But you should see him on his wheel.

He bites, he runs, he eats. Who's that? Cotton. He's white and lean, and is one of the few hamsters out there who climbs into his food dish and climbs out again, not taking a single nut. Sometimes he even leaves sunflower seeds, although they love it so much. Cotton!

Lilypie Kids birthday PicCookie and Cream

These are our first two hamsters. They are sapphire winter whites and they are currently separated as Cream is still not used to Cookie after her pregnancy. We have weaned Salt and Pepper from her, but they live and run individually now. They are friendly, don't bite, and Cookie is nice and round now. Bet you would want to hold her!

Requiescat in pace
  • Tac

    Tac lived a short life of eleven days. She was born of Cotton and Cream together with Salt and Pepper (formerly Tic and Toe; Tic Tac Toe, get it?). We found her dead in the cage that morning.
  • Peanut

    Our other Roborovski hamster, formerly paired with Butter. He was smaller than Butter. In fact, both were smaller than the size of our thumb when we got them at a young age of 3 weeks.
Cream passed away on the 8th of January, 2010. She passed away from cancer, but even in her last few days, she was still very active, and ran the wheel a lot. It's sad that neither hammiemummy or myself were at home when she passed on. But, Cream will always be remembered. She was Cookie's good friend, but later on, after a period of separation, she lived alone. She was good friends with Cotton, and they can even be cuddled together in one hand. She was a good-tempered hamster who appeared fierce on the outside. Live on in our hearts, Cream.
