Zane: The New Boi in Town
As mentioned earlier, may I present you with the new boi in the neighbourhood - Zane, a male pearl winter white. The name "Zane" was suggested by Jnr. And so it shall be.
And with Nutmeg's passing, Zane is now the new owner of the NPF cage.

Snowie: New Setup
I've finally gotten down to setting up the OVO Loft.
And I caught her loft-tanning in the tubes.

Nutmeg: A Fighter Till The End
Nutmeg was PTS at 3.15pm on 26 September 2009
*******************************************************
Nutmeg came to me on 24 May 2009, as a rescued hamster. I was told that Campbells are a territorial breed. And that resulted in several finger-wars with her. Nevertheless, both of us had grown to like those wars. It's our way of bonding, I guess.
Everything was going very well for her. Until I discovered a lump at her rear end a few days ago. Upon closer inspection, then I knew it didn't bode well for her. And she might have to go under the knife to remove it. So I brought her to the vet on the afternoon of 26 Sept 2009.
The vet's diagnosis was very bad - that lump was her uterus. It had slipped out of her body via her vulva. This cud be due to pregnancy or internal infection. The latter seems very likely. Altho surgery cud gave her a 50% chance to live, the operation itself is risky.
With that, I decided to put her to sleep.

RIP, Nutmeg, my feisty ger. Gonna miss "fighting" with you.

Nutmeg: View at Your Own Risk
A few days ago I noticed that Nutmeg's rear end is in a dark-red-brown color. As she is behaving, eating & sleeping normally, I didn't do much. But did tell myself to take a closer look during the weekend.
This morning I took that closer look and discovered a growth in the shape of a mushroom. Est 1cm long. So will be bringing her to the vet later in the afternoon. Had a feeling that it has to be removed.
The last time I handled her was in mid Aug, to clip her nails. Back then, there's no growth. That I am sure. Altho I didn't handle her thereafter, I really didn't see/notice that growth. Until a few days ago. But again the size of the growth tells me that it's been there for a while. And it was also only today that I saw her "attacking" that growth.
IRL, the growth doesn't look that hideous. But on film, it is super gross.

Snowie: Her new hideout
Snowie loves the maze so much that she pee, poo, stashes food and SLEEP in it. Now she is so stinko. On top this, her beddings are stinko too. So I've no choice but to change it
When I didn't fix the maze back, she pulled a long face and sulked in a corner.
So I hv no choice but to use the maze as a hideout in her Loft.

The New Boi in Town
With an extra cage, I have decided to bring in one more hamster. And I fell in love with this lil guy the moment I set eyes on him.
Especially with his pearlie coat and chubby-ness. And what luck that he's the tamest among all.
I have lots of fun cuddling Evie. So I'm looking forward to cuddling him too.

I've FINALLY bot an OVO Loft for Snowie. Cos the NPF cage with the BIG hideout and sand box, she simply had no floor area.
And it was huge manz!!!! The Ovo Loft. I was shocked when I first set eyes on it. But it'll be an investment. Cos it'll be the home for all the Syrians I'll be keeping.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Then Nutmeg took over Snowie's NPF cage. A perfect size. And I might add a 2nd deck for her.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
And Mae took over Nutmeg's Habitrail Cage.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
I was supposed to throw away one of these cages. But I decided to use it for Evie. So now she has TWO cages.
And I'll be using this cage for both Evie & Mae.
