Exploring the New Home




And getting comfortable with it.

New Home

With the impromptu visit from the two SHC members, one of them had gotten me a PROPER hamster cage.


A few days later, I managed to furnish it PROPERLY too.

It is a super BIG difference from the cage that c/w Sammie.

It's been 2 weeks

And I'm starting to fall in love with lil one. Esp when two experts from the Singapore Hamster Club had affirmed it's gender to be a ger.


Yes, two senior members of the forum dropped by earlier. To make sure that the lil one is in good hands. And also that I am well-prepared & equipped to look after her. With that, one of them help to check on the gender.


Speaking of SHC, I am having so much fun browsing thru it. Looking thru the many hammies' pics and learning more abt the species.


I hv a BIG feeling that hamsters will be the-pet-to-have when my ger passes on.

Rental Apartment

This is a tried-&-tested "new" cage for the lil one. Which mum said it's too small.


But the lil one seems to like it.

The New Lady

Mum found this lil gerbil on her way to work. And all no-thanks to Jnr, she decided to keep it.


But again, who cud resist the sorry state it was in.

Esp with the stinko cage. So Jnr left some human-grade peanuts for it. And I chipped in by getting it a food dish & a drink bottle from the neighbourhood petshop.
