Hamchop?
Forever
Hamber?
Or,
if he's a kick a$$ kind of rodent, Hambo?
Marti
nearly lost it. Hambo"!
That's hysterical!
Kramer
agreed,
YES!
Hambo
sounds good for the next boy hamster, but this hamster is a girl
In a
later hamster update, Kramer told us.
Hamela the Hamster (my wife still thinks the hamster's name is
Abby or Abbey, "I ain't sure which!") has doubled in
size since we have had her. We honestly believe that Hamela has an
eating disorder
because all she does is eat, sleep, and drink food.
We're hunting for a hamster psychologist to find out what to do
about the eating disorder.
Kathy offered her suggestion:
Honey, if
you want that freaking hamster to move buy a cat and put that
hampster in one of those rolling balls that they make for them to
run around the room in a "bubble". If Hamela
doesn't move, unleash the cat .........I guarantee they will both
get all the exercise they need......and lose weight too,
Kramer
didn’t like that idea too much.
He didn’t want Hamela to die of fright.
Someone
asked if Hamela was by any chance craving pickles and knitting
thimble-size sweaters.
Oh, you're talking about Hamela, our Hamster... ,
replied Kramer.
She's pleasantly plump. We talked her into joining the YHCA
(Young Hamsters Christian Association). Now she goes to the Y three
times a week. We asked her, "Y the Y?" But
we don't get an answer. However, she continues to sleep
in her food bowl and eats while she sleeps. Her vet called
it sleep-eating.
Hamela wins the Good Cagekeeping Seal of Approval. She takes her
excrement and tosses it out of the cage and onto the bookshelf or
carpet. We almost never have to clean her cage. For the
record, we didn't teach her this trick.
Our little fuzzball was in mourning this week because her best
friend, Nibbles, the gerbil, died. An autopsy revealed that
Nibbles died from exhaustion. We're not surprised because
whenever we took care of Nibbles we noticed him running around his
cage like a chicken with its head cut off. We never
saw such a wired rodent, bouncing off the walls and spinning in
the wheel until the wheel fell off.
George will be excited to learn that last night Hamela became an
official cheesehead when we gave her a piece of medium cheddar
cheese for a midnight snack. We figured hamster and cheese go
good together.
We are
still saving all our good hamster name suggestions --- just in case
