Not Good
Earlier this week, I noticed something is not right with Evie.
Upon closer inspection ... one of her eyes is covered with mucus. And that same side of her face is distorted. Her lower body is swollen.
Last but not least I suspected that she is having wet tail.
Haiz ...
Just when I comforted myself that Evie is still healthy & eating well, I saw her moving about like an elderly.
Haiz ...
She will be next.

Dinner is Served
Ever since the commercial brand Vitakraft increased their price by 50%, plus I have 5 hamsters, I decided to feed the brood purely on fresh food.
And so far so good. Esp with Evie nearing her 2.5yrs with me.
The white cabbage is said to be too "watery" so purple cabbage is the alternative.
From today onwards, I will adding a half quail egg for that added boost. *cheesy grin*

Updates
The Brood
A week after I adopted Kootra, Snowie passed away. So I went back to Kootra's breeder to see if she has anymore pups to rehome.
And lucky me, she had. So I adopted another blackie which I named him Zeeke. Unfortunately I do not have a decent picture of him. Becos he is super skittish, just like Kootra. And he loves to put his face right in front of the camera. Kekekeke!!!!
The Hamster Villa
With Zane's passing, I have one spare NPF Cage. And since Nova is having some coat/skin condition, I have decided to join the two NPF cages for him. So that he can have a better living condition, hoping that it will stop &/or help his coat/skin condition.
With this, it gave me the idea to do the same for Kootra. Esp since Evie is not well herself. Well, she is as fit as a bull. Just that she is close to 2.5yo and I suspect that she is blind. There is a "cloud" in both her eyes. So I wanna downgrade her to a smaller cage. And lucky me I managed to get a 2nd hand Habitrail Cage during the weekend.
Yes, I sold mine off a few months ago. And now I'm buying it back. What an irony eh.
So now, I have connected two NPF cages for both Kootra & Nova. Oh. Kootra is having the same coat/skin condition as Nova. So hope the new living conditions will help.
And this is how the four small cages look like together.
The other two - Lola & Zeeke are housed in the iMac Fantasy & Ferplast Cage respectively.
