Making Friends?

8th July 2008

I remember the first time I let Daddy Hamster out in his Run-Around Ball, he ran past Winnie’s cage & Winnie darted so fast into his hideaway box. Winnie wouldn’t stop squeaking for about 5 minutes! I thought something was wrong with him! Maybe he darted so fast that he hit his foot or his head or something like that. When I picked him up, he still wouldn’t stop squeaking! But, there was nothing physically wrong with him. I think the sight of Daddy Hamster in a ball freaked him out. Maybe he thought that Daddy Hamster has evolved this this giant clear round thing that can move around! HAHA!

Anyhoo .. at one point I thought to give it a try with Tubby, since Tubby is the fearless one compared to Winnie. It was the cutest sight: since Daddy Hamster rolls quite slow, Tubby would literally follow after the ball by walking on his hind legs! At times when Daddy Hamster would stop, both of them would sniff at each other, but they seemed friendly! No teeth grinding from either of them, Tubby wouldn’t chew the ball .. it seemed like they were getting to know each other! Now .. if only I could get Tubby & Winnie to become buddies .. that would take about 20 posts.
