Lulu has officially became The Fat-Fat without our much awareness back in September.

Mama is the culprit as she doesn't have any experience in looking after hamster. The story is that Mama thought Lulu finished everything off her plate very quickly, and in fear of starving the cute little furry ball, Mama gave Lulu same amount of food 2 times per day everyday.

The result is a Lulu that is almost triple the size of Mimi. Mimi never finished off the whole plate in one go. Mummy reveals the truth that "Hamsters store their food away!!" So Mama was misled into thinking Lulu finished the food faster while the truth is Lulu stores all the seeds inside her "bedroom"! Mimi does not do so, she simply covers her food with wood flakes.

So now Lulu is only given one feed per day. And she still peels the sunflower seeds quickly and puts all of them into her mouth, and then stores in her bedroom, thinking Mama might give second feed upon seeing the plate is empty =w=

Fufufu

Ever adorable fat fat

Idea for photography comes from the vet description :D Aren't they cute?

Mimi's patient description

"Pocket pet" XD

We like this vet. He describes our mini ham ham as "pocket pet", like pocket monster like that, how cute <3

Mimi has red skin behind her ears and on her back, and she seemed to be scratching a lot so we brought her to the vet where we brought Princess the Spitz to.

And here is a funny photo of sleeping Mimi in late September:

May our hammies be happy always, and be reincarnated at a place with Buddhist teaching and get closer to Dharmma, to be liberated from all sufferings.

We wish for the same for our other pets that accompanied us in this life.

Lulu the fat fat and Mimi the gold digger

We give food in the morning. And the hammies would be alert of our appearance before their house, standing up looking at us waiting for the humans to feed them. Once the plate is served, Lulu focuses attentively to the food, and nothing else.

Watch until the end for her ultra cute close-up XD

After having minimal food, Mimi keeps digging her mines for Buddha-knows-what, occassionally looking up at the human or the camera, and ninja-ing onto the cage and biting the bars. And then fell down on purpose. Simply too cute.

The videos are taken this morning :)

Today Mimi and Lulu are with us for 6 months, they are a bundle of joy :)

I am trying to improve my photography skill and start to explore Lightroom. But the outcome is still not as I expect it to be. Need more practices!

Long hiatus and a berserk hammie

The past two months were not easy for human. Many things happened to the hammies as well.

Before posting series of cute photos of Mimi and Lulu, Mama has to report here that Mummy was bitten by Lulu the criminal hammie on 5th August, causing Mummy's finger swelled up to double its usual finger size, and had to visit human doctor to cure T_T

The criminal:

The verdict:

4 teeth bites!

The different sizes of Mummy's fingers

OMG, Lulu the poisonous Hammie!

What happened was, as usual, we tried to put the two hammies next to each other and see if they can get along well. This time, Mimi was inside her cage, and Lulu was outside of Mimi's cage. Sometimes they would smell each other with bars in between them. This time, Lulu's reaction was strangely aggressive. She tried to attack Mimi who was inside the cage. So Mummy decided to put the berserked Lulu back into her own cage, but she bit Mummy instead T_T

Aigooooooooo why Lulu whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy sob sob :"(

After swallowing whole set of antibiotic Mummy's finger is back to normal again, but the four bite scars remain. Lulu's bite scar on Mama's middle finger (happened few months back) is still visible today!

Rage hammie, bad hammie!
