Hamster Updates

finally i am able to blog! was studying all the time. every single day without fail. one paper down todae. 3 more to go. today's paper was okay... will be studying tonite again...

i found my new love. tubby and pixie. grown very attached to them. long to come home everyday juz to take a peep at them, feed them, fill their bottles and juz watch them. seems that my life revolves around them. even the entries that i blog here recently are about them.

tubby has a new home now. he's shifted out of his makeshift fish tank home. felt that it wasn't appropriate for him as the fish tank can't house his very favourite water bottle (he's a water lover. drinks plenty of water). plus he did not have a wheel, which deprives him of his running space. plus, when the baby litters grow up, they'd need housing too. so i forked out $30 bucks for his new bright single-leveled cage. now they stand side by side.

first thing tubby did when i brought him into his new house, was to go to the water bottle. that adorable boy. he's such a water lover.

i carried him the other night. he was such a good boy because he didn't move. he juz sat quietly in my hands. he looked so cute, i juz had to take a pic of him.

as for pixie, she and her pups are doing well. still have a total count of 6 litters. no eating of babies to date. today is day 3 since their birth. the babies have grown bigger since. their ears are starting to show. however, i am still unable to count the number of boys and girls because she's constantly by their side, or in her arms.

the pups suckling on mama's milk... notice they grew bigger...
all 6 of them are there. 3 are on the top. and 3 more below.

pixie is starting to be active again. she'd bring her litters down, and she'll run on her favourite wheel at night. she's also always looking out for me. coz i think she knows i bring her food. so she'll climb the grills to wait for me to feed her with her favourite corn, carrots and bean sprouts.


she's waiting for her food.


i hope the 6 litters survive. so excited to see their growth everyday!

ta-ta...
