New hamster Coco and Lulu's update

It's been too long we didn't update here.

On 26 Oct 2013, we welcome a new hamster named Coco into our family.

He is a Sapphire dwarf hamster and is still very nervous around us, won't let us touch him. He smells pretty bad from his scent gland as well.

He grows into a big fat hamster within a month and enjoys sitting on his balls (lol) in the corner of the cage.

Lulu is getting pretty frail lately. Her 'flu' has been on and off, and she's been on medication on and off as well. Yesterday she hurt herself by crossing over the Habitrail's house, getting her leg stuck, hung on the edge of the partition for we-don't-know-how-long. It's really heart-breaking when we checked her out before we went to bed. She didn't even make any sound.

Lulu becomes smaller in size, and her lower half is very skinny. She still fills her pouches with lots of food, we hope she really eats them and not just storing them for no reason.

Need to keep a very close eye on Lulu. She's now with us everywhere we do our work in the house.

May our little angels be well and happy.

Hamsters eat broccoli

Today Mama was having broccoli, carrots, and bak choy as lunch. Giving Mimi and Lulu some leftover fresh broccoli, and they love it! :D

First bath experience

Note on Lulu's health condition: she seems fine and improving :) Will continue medication until fully cured.

Wanted to write this post for a long time now. This happened in late March.

Heavy photos and videos ahead!!

Firstly, Mimi's bathing experience:

First attempt:

Dislike being inside an alien space and shaking off sand while exiting T_T

 Second attempt:

To avoid further escape, we put the bath tub on top of their cage. This was when they were not that ninja-ish yet. 

Mimi still tried to leave the bathtub.

Fail to bath

Third attempt: 

 Next, we have Lulu's:

First attempt:

Second attempt:

Lookin' atcha

Sitting still~

Wash hands

Wash face~

And then do nothing:

That concludes their first bath experience which is hilarious for us. We hope to film scenes when they finally know how to bath and enjoy it.

Yes, we have problem getting our daughters to clean themselves with bathing sand T_T
