JUNE was an Anniversary of Our Fat Hamster,
who came to our place last year by its own.
Now he is Our family Precious member,
especially to my elderly mother, whom always
afraid the fatty hamster is hungry.
Whatever we ate, he eat too!
Dinner time, he is the First one to be served,
My mom will scoop a tea-spoon of rice to him first.
Our wholemeal bread always has tiny holes with it,
my mom like to pinch a bit of the bread to fed it.
Fatty hamster loves soya bean and milk,
my family do not take fresh milk ,
the little fellow do not drink that much,
and if the milk kept for more than a day,
the little fellow will not look at it.
so we stop the fresh milk.
Normally, we fed it with vegetables like cabbages,
long beans, celeries, carrots, bean spouts
unpolished rice, cook rice.
Our snack time, from nuts, biscuits, cake,
even fry rice noodles, and fruits like oranges.
It loves sweet oranges.
We pinch abit of what we ate and give it to him.
He will hold the food with both hand tightly if he like it,
he smell and walk away if he do not like it.
Initially, I was hesitating want to bath him with water
or not, were he died after the water bath?
But the weather was hot and humid, and found the
sand bath was not that clean, still got the odd smell.
The first time water bath, It struggle and cling on the
towel don't let go of it. Now he no more scare of going
water bath, he watch quietly as the water running
down the tap.
| The first time outside the cage, he trying to bite open the gate. |
If the weather is hot, it likes to sleep on its back
with it four tiny toes facing up.
I thought it was dead when the first time I saw him
sleeping still on its back.
he can sleep more than an hour or two if nobody disturb it.
It is too fat that he often fall off the wheel .
It is a cute little fellow, he never urined on the wheel
or his blanket (the towel) .
It will came down from the wheel or came out
from the blanket ( he likes to hide itself under the blanket)
if he wanted to pee.
