Tube space “battle”

It’s no secret that Peter likes sleeping inside the tube of their snazzy green home. Turns out, he isn’t the only one…

Peter’s new kids like staying inside the tube—sleeping, passing, or simply pushing one another upward and downward inside it. See the photo above? They love the tube so much that they’re fighting for its space even if the second floor of their home is off for cleaning

Peter’s new weirdness

Peter always did weird things to the stuff in his home, and it always had something to do with sleeping. Last time, he liked kicking out his roomies from using the wheel, just to sleep on it!

He’s a hassle again to his roomie, Abester How can he not, when he’s blocking the passage-way “downstairs?”

Why my sister’s hamsters are so fat

My hamster-expert uncle told me that hamsters have fast metabolism—they’re very active creatures. It’s either my sister’s hamsters just have a problem, or they’re just freaks of nature. I prefer to attribute it to the latter, for the simple reason that it’s really hard to find the underlying cause. I’m a bit new to hamster care, so I really wouldn’t know as much as I would about dogs.

The underlying cause is probably just weirdness.

And here’s Wendy posing for the camera.

Well, at least Wendy’s trying to make an effort to exercise. Peter is so lazy that he doesn’t even bother—the exercise wheel is just a makeshift hammock for him.
