I was trying to take a nap earlier, since it was extremely hot in my room. And I was light weight waiting for a phone call from Martin. And my mom starts knocking on my door, so I thought maybe I had a letter… so I open the door and she’s holding up Labby’s old carrier cage. And inside it was a small Robo Dwarf Hamster! He was adorable! And very active (which is good, I hope hes healthy).

It surprised me that she came home with a hamster cause she’d never come home with one! I wont say shes not a fan of hamsters (after a few years of me having Syrian hamsters I think they finally grew on her lol) cause she is… but coming home with one was just so out of character hehe. But it was a nice surprise, especially since I was kinda crying myself to sleep.

I dont know if I mentioned this, but my dear Labby mouse (Martin named him “Labby… the lab mouse” cause he was a plain white mouse) passed away last week, almost hitting I think two years… which is crazy for a simple white feeder mouse. And I suppose she got me a hamster to keep me some company since Martin’s away. I dont know really I didnt ask her but I was oohing and ahhing over it for some time lol.

I only have CareFresh bedding and I remember reading somewhere that it’s really bad for dwarf hamsters so I went to Petco but they dont sell the bedding I use to use for my baby boy Flixie (who passed away almost two years ago. He had a bad allergic reaction to CareFresh so I had to switch him to shredded wood bedding) and I’m not a huge fan of the wood chip type since they have sharp corners, so I may have to go to the next city over to PetSmart and see if they have any over there. I also have to get the little critter a wheel and some toys. He was climbing and jumping around the cage as soon as I put him in there.

I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to Syrian hamsters since I’ve raised them since I was 9… but when it comes to dwarf hamsters… not so much. I’ve only had one and he passed away the day after I got him (I wrote a complaint to the head of Petco and they never got back to me either. Ugh) so I’m a little iffy about having another dwarf hamster, especially from Petco. So I’ll be taking a small break tonight from wedding planning to refresh my memory on dwarf hamster care. I only remember bits and pieces and they’re not connecting very well lol.

Sorry no pictures of the little guy just yet! I was too busy trying to make his home to take pictures. But soon! And I havent decided on a name, I was thinking Ace since that was what Martin named our Air Force bear, but I dont know yet

I cant wait to tell him about the new little one!
