Kimchi: Wet Look

Recently I've noticed a wet-look about Kimchi's coat. And her coat is starting to have a center-parting.


As compared to the last few months.




With this, it prompted me to check on her age & DOB.

According to her previous owner, Kimchi was bought from the petshop on 6 Sept 2008 and she was just 5 weeks old. That would make her DOB to be late July 2008 = 30 July 2008. And that means Kimchi will be reaching her 2yo mark this year July.

Wow. W.O.W.

It is said that a hamster's lifespan is 2 years max. There are hamsters going beyond that. But it is rare.

WOW.

According to Wiki, Robos have a lifespan of 3.5 years at the max. The longest among all pet hamsters.

So maybe the current coat is of the adult Robo.
