Coco the fat fat

We haven't properly introduced Coco on this blog.

He has been called the "Eric Cartman", "Fat Fat", "Smelly", "Dan Dan", and many more, due to the following reasons:

Initially he refused to be tamed;
He eats a lot;
His gland scent is horribly smelly;
He bites us sometimes;
He wants to eat when he knows we are eating.

Now we can handle him and he is super adorable. We have also changed the bedding to control his odor.

This is how happy he is when he's eating (he has various positions, this is standing up):
This is when we figured out how to pick him up when he is rounder and couldn't resist:

Lot's of fun with Coco ♥♥♥   

We will show more photos and videos of him here, meanwhile do check out our instagram (๑>ㅂ<)❤

Lulu loves mashed potato

Mama and mummy were busy, and Lulu seems to enjoy sleeping longer than usual... considering her age we take that as a sign of aging :(

Today we cooked mashed potato, and mummy couldn't finish it. Considering there are hamsters that love french fries (we don't give that to Lulu), we try to give her some mashed potato:

Lulu awaken almost immediately after she smells the food.

And she really loves the potato!

I tried to move the spoon away, and she stretched out her arms to hold the spoon XD

Finishing the last bit of mashed potato :)

The mashed potato is homemade healthier version so there is no butter, but it's really tasty, using this vegan recipe.

We all love potatoes <3

Broccoli again

Mimi munches on broccoli <3

Lulu was also very focused on the big clove of broccoli <3

Always their favorite food (asides from my breads and cakes <3)

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=

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 :)

Hammies and broccoli

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

Mimi and Lulu's food

Our hamsters love their food :)

Once we put the food on the plate, they will sit on the plate and food and munch their way~

Lulu and Mimi endorse the Japanese hamster food <3

Lulu is munching their favourite red-coloured star-shaped vege piece.

Mimi: "I want more!"

Will write a future post on their food habits and funny actions in regards to food :)
