Hamster Fame

This post is a special request from Luke himself. He feels like we have left the hamsters off the blog since their magical arrival at Christmas. Chum Chum and Mr. Emily still live in Luke's room and are feed and watered very well.

Chum Chum loves his ball and likes to explore all around Luke's room in it. He has made a full recovery from his accident in December. Mr. Emily on the other hand is, well how should we say, lazy. Let's just call it what it is. He does not like to exercise. He climbs into the food bowl to eat and refuses to exercise on the wheel. If you put him in his ball he will sit and stare at you until he can go back to the cage. Everyone except Addi thinks this might have something to do with the fact he was named Emily but she is sure he loves the name as much as she does.


Here is Mr. Chum Chum himself.

Now I know this makes you want to run out and ask Santa for a hamster or maybe stop by the pet store but it is important to remember Lucas read lots of books about how to care for a hamster before Santa brought him a pet so Lucas would like for you to remember it is important to care for your animal and to know how.

I would like for you to know that means he pesters us a lot to take the hamsters to the vet for a check up, which is so not even made it to the bottom of list of things to do in my lifetime.
