April 10th, 2006Our new hamsters
I didn’t want to mention anything about them before uploading the photos.
Yesterday afternoon,Des and I had gone to a Plants and animals market not very far from our university. I didn’t take any pics there. In fact, I didn’t even think of doing that. I was too busy looking around. It was my first time at such a market.
I was the only one who was supposed to buy hamsters but in the end, Des bought too.
Who can resist those little creatures? ![]()
I bought two Roborovski hamsters and Des bought two Winter white Pearl (from the Dwarf Winter White Russian hamsters group) hamsters. Des also bought a hamster cage, some wood shavings and bath sand. I already bought my hamster cage, wood shavings, bath sand, hamster food,etc before so I didn’t buy anything else. I’ll be sharing my packets of hamster things with Des.
After a few hours, Des and I exchanged hamsters and hamster cages. I love the Roborovskis but they are too fast and don’t like to be handled. It will take a while to tame them. I will go to see them at my bf’s place as often as I can. I took the Winter whites home instead. They are not as energetic as the Roborovskis and I won’t have to worry about looking for them all over my room. I also don’t want my roommate to complain about them. I’m sad about having changed hamsters with my bf.
Some photos taken at my bf’s place before I took my hamsters home:

I was near the window when I took this photo. This is why the dorsal stripe isn’t really visible in the photos.

They do look cute indeed. Having pets is hard work. I had little turtles once. Ended up watching them, feeding them and cleaning them. Couldn’t get any work done

I wish I could have hamsters but my mom doesn’t like pets. They are adorable though.
OH SO CUTE! I love love love love the Roborovskii one! The white one looks like a mouse but cute anyway lol. Have fun with them!

The roborovski hamster looks adorable.
Mine is a typical syrian hamster who does nothing but to eat and sleep all the time.

I’m never getting little pet turtles.
They sell turtles in some supermarkets and one time, I saw a guy in that turtle section cutting the turtles. I felt like puking.
hehe then I’ll probably ask you advice about hamsters soon:P …if you don’t mind.
what a pity!
arigato:)
argh. I don’t like playing DotA. I’m so bad at it. My hero always dies after a few minutes.
I’m going to train hard. lol
I got 2 roborovski hamsters for my boyfriend today, i called them Ivan and Boris they are gorgeous. They enjoy hiding in their tubes and eating apple and running in wheel together, so cute!! x
Aren’t they difficult to tame?My bf and I are having trouble taming his 2 roborovski.
