Hamster FYI: If you cannot afford a set of tubes for your hamster, you can make a tunnels made out of toilet paper tubes.
Meet the tube hamster. I did not shove Cheeky in there; I simply presented the toilet paper tube to her and she went inside with her own intent. I did not have a tube playset for any of my hamster, but I saw that you can use toilet paper tubes.
Whenever she went inside the tube, she stayed inside and just stopped moving. She looked absolutely silly and adorable, that I had to take a picture.

It seems i have found a picture of Twix.
I thought the pictures i posted were the only ones i had.
But fear not!!! I found it while looking through my facebook albums :D
Going on hiatus, I’ll be back tho.
I’ve run out of stories, or maybe I forgot them. I’m still a part of this blog but I have decided to go animal and eat hamsters since I am obsessed with them leave the blog to greeninkpenguin. I am temporarily on hiatus, but I will be back soon. The posts that we have made are on queue and are organized by greeninkpenguin herself.
I don’t know when I’m coming back, but I’m leaving the blog to greeninkpenguin.
Maybe it’s because of run out of stories to tell, or maybe i just don’t feel motivated to update this blog. But know this I’m still here and will be checking on this blog.
In the meantime, watch this adorable hamster eat a cucumber while listening to cute music. :3
When my friend came over to my house, I met with Gus-Gus and a large colorful cage. You may have seen in my pictures of a small pink cage—that is Cheeky’s cage which my other friend gave me. Gus-Gus’s owner was kind enough to give me a large cage. I quickly cleaned it, and I decided to transfer Meeky into the large cage and Gus-Gus into the smaller cage and gave him proper hamster food.
Like I said, Gus-Gus was rather fragile. He limped around and could barely walk; he seemed to have a broken leg. My friend even said he was completely blind in one eye (though I’m sure hamsters are already near sighted). He was also rather bitey.
I rarely took him out of his cage because of how weak and aggressive he was. I had difficulty picking him up and he always bit me if I’m just near him. I was especially not used to being bitten because of my calm Meeky.
When Gus-Gus died, I simply buried him in my front yard. My mother suggested to flush him since he was small, but of course, I said no.
I also noticed something when I buried him—GusGus was not a boy. It’s harder to find the gender of a dwarf hamster, but I accidentally flipped him over as I buried him and I noticed a lack of… Anyways, my friend simply named her Gus-Gus without considering that he could have been a she.
In short, Gus-Gus did not receive much love in his short life and was even gender-confused.
This is Meeky, I was going to post this but I had second thoughts. But here I am sharing this hamster with you. I was at Pengy’s house and decided to record Meeky on his wheel.
I have…A TON of stickers left over. I’m gonna try sell them, but I have plenty to give away.
To three people, I’m giving 11 stickers for ~*FREE*~
To put their sizes in perspective, I laid them out on half a sheet of regular printing paper (8.5”x11”).

Poor Gus-Gus Part 1
This is Gus-Gus. I got him after Meeky, and he sadly died while Meeky’s still runnin’. This is the only picture I have of Gus-Gus because my camera was broken when I got him. This picture was not taken by me; a friend of mine had taken this. She obviously had trouble taking a picture. Just imagine Twix, but skinnier.
My friend had received a hamster from her father’s friend. She named him Gus-Gus. I thought it was a stupid name, but apparently I never watched Cinderella. It’s still unfitting for him, though. He was a rather fragile-looking and skinny hamster, probably because he was neglected by my friend.
She and her family had little regard for him. Her mother did not like Gus-Gus at all. They didn’t clean his cage, even though they all thought it smelled and he made a mess. Also, instead of buying hamster food, they fed it CAT FOOD. It somehow survived for 2-3 weeks. Poor thing, I thought.
I kindly asked my friend, “GIVE ME THAT HAMSTER; YOU’RE KILLING HIM!” She had to ask her father for consent, but she could not do so until after a family trip in the weekend. I hoped the thing didn’t die when he was alone. Soon, I received a phone call, “So, do you want him or not?”
Hamster Fact:The word “hamster” comes from the German word “hamstern” which means “hoarder”. A “hoarder” is one who stores goods for later use. That’s a pretty good way to describe a hamster.

This is Twix. This is the only video I have of her. Sadly, I don’t have many pictures of her either.
She spins, stops. Spins, stops. Spins, stop.
Look at her chubbliness. Isn’t she cute?
Hamsters and the Chair
Hamster Fact: Hamsters are near-sighted and have no depth perception, so they can’t tell if they’re going to fall off a cliff or a 3-inch step.
I going to give hamster facts now, whether they’re related to my story or not.
The seat of my chair is about two feet off the ground. While I’m on my computer, I would let my hamster crawl around my lap while I’m sitting in my chair. When I’m not paying attention, I’d eventually hear a “plop” on the floor.
Both Meeky AND cheeky would often take a leap of faith off the edge of my chair, using their hind legs to cling on the edge and slowly sliding off. They’d still be fine somehow, even after 5 falls straight. They never seem to learn their lesson.
I’m sure it’s still bad for them to fall 2 feet. But it’s not my fault! They’d be napping on my lap, then the next minute there’s that “plop” again.
Here’s some pictures of Cheeky and Meeky with chubby cheeks on my computer chair.

Campbell Hamsters
After a year and a half of my hamsters deaths, I begged convinced my mom to get me another pair of hamsters to raise. I wanted to get the same species I had—Golden Cream hamster, a type of Syrian hamster. When we went to the pet shop, my mom told them that our hamsters had died and we wanted the same hamsters. They didn’t have golden creams anymore, only Campbell hamsters. Surprisingly, they were tiny, chubby, and cute. My mom, on the other hand, thought they were too small and thought I shouldn’t be buying one. I told her that this was as big as they got.
She bought me the hamsters. I was so excited to start a brand new day with these little ones.
I don’t have that many pictures of them; these are the only two I have. They are the same hamster, Twix is what I named her.
She has big fat buttcheeks.
Back to Meeky
These are some of the first pictures I took of Meeky. He was very hard to take a picture of; it was as if he was “camerashy”. My camera was also nearly broken at that time (hence that little pink strip at the top), so that didn’t help either.
In the first picture, he’s exploring my bed. In the second picture, he’s sleeping in his old cage, which used to be Cheeky’s cage. I have no idea how he slept comfortably with his butt in the air. That was the only time I ever saw him do that, and he never slept like that again.
The blue thing in the picture is a blue penguin cookie cutter; my friend with the puppy gave it to me when I had Cheeky. I kinda left it in the cage to be my hamsters’ “companion”, and named it Bloop the friendly blue penguin. I don’t think my hamsters cared for it and probably thought the thing to be bothersome and a waste of space. I do not know where this cookie cutter is anymore, though.

P.S. I wish people would stop liking/reblogging that mouse Rarity. It’s a cute comic, but all of our other posts has no more than 2 notes. It makes us both disappointed. Even my own pony content doesn’t even get nearly 30 notes.
Jellybeans is No More
To put it short, Jellybens died. Best hamster I have ever had in my life. It all started when we bought a male hamster.
Sadly, I never gave the other hamster a name, so he is an “unknown hamster”. When we first got him, he had balls, furry balls. He would press them against the cage and nom nom nom chew on them for minutes on end. What a weird fucking hamster I got, but I loved him. I thought it was time to put the two hammies together; I thought it was for the best. I felt Jellybeans was lonely in her cage, so the two came together. After putting them both in the cage, a couple of weeks later, I noticed Jellybeans getting fatter and storing food up in the second level nest. I google’d on why she was doing this and learned that she was pregnant. I was happy. Day in and day out, I watched her carry bedding up and down the tubes. Putting bedding in and taking bedding out. Carrying food in and out.
One day, my mom came back from grocery shopping and noticed Mcballs (that’s the name I’m giving it now) was gone. I looked every nook and cranny. He was gone and never found. I’ve always wondered where he could have gone, and I still do.
Anyways, Jellybeans was about almost to give birth. I learned that hamsters give birth during the night, so I decided to wait till morning. After I woke up, Jellybeans was in the corner of her cage. I tried to poke her awake. She was dead. Gone.
I took her and buried her crying for the companion I loved.
R.I.P Jellybeans Bon Beans
Meeky runs on his wheel sidways, causing his butt to swing all around. It’s weird, but still adorable in a way.
