Hamsters

Aww, Smokey sounds adorable! Their grooming rituals are too cute, especially the fluff-in-the-face moment. It's fascinating how they have their quirky habits, like the "poop putting away."

I absolutely love the fluff the face things they do. It's so darn cute. That and when we put him back, he immediately goes to roll in his sand like he has to wash our scent off

I did a clean out of Puffy's home. I try to do it as late as I can at night so I don't disturb him during his sleeping hours. He's still a little mad that I woke him up early.

He's sitting at the top of his pile right now. He does that when I get done cleaning, my guess is he just wants to chill because of all the activity in his house. When I check on him tomorrow, he'll have all his tunnels built and that kale will be gone. The bedding is about a foot tall and covers a 2 foot by 1.5 foot area.

Tomorrow is Sunday Snackies, so he gets two peanuts.

Yes! I was literally about 4 inches away watching that little Puff bathe himself. It was really weird to watch him "put his poop away," as I called it. Any time he had to poop, he would grab it as it was coming out and put it off to the side, then go back to cleaning. It was kinda weird!

Does anyone have a hamster.? We realized a turtle for my oldest may be too big a commitment for her just yet. She's turning 8 and reaaaaaly wanted a turtle. But she conceded that if she can take care of something like a fish or a hamster for a year or so (or it's few years life span, really) then we would get her a turtle. I know nothing about hamsters. My cousin has a couple but that was 20 years ago and care info has obviously changed. So does anyone know (as far as bedding, chew toys, sand for bath, type of food, etc) what is best for them.?

I think there is a type of hay you can use but I am no expert. OH and we should all know this, HAMSTER WHEEL!
