Nekkid Hamster

#1 Post by a1mamacat » Mon Mar 23, 2009 11:57 am

well, not quite, but poor Cleo is getting so elderly, that she is losing her fur. She now resembles a naked mole rat, so I have had to resort to having a small heat lamp near her cage to make sure she doesn't catch cold.


All in all though, at 2 1/2 years old, she is still pretty lively.

This is why I've never had hamsters. I couldn't deal with the rapid turnover.

Give Cleo a scritch for me.

Well, if you're real close to your hamster and don't mind him peering over your shoulder or making off the cuff remarks.....
I believe in the usefulness of useless information.

Right before she went to sleep, Denise volunteered some of her fur for Cleo.

Squirrels are the architects of forests, the planters of trees, nature's own acrobats and show a zest for life that can inspire us. Every day should be National Squirrel Appreciation Day!

Many of these (squirrel) migrations were probably caused by food shortages as well as habitat overcrowding. We solved that for them. We not only reduced their habitat, we reduced the whole species by about 90%. The least we can do now is share a little birdseed with them.

An excellent plan! Write when you get work!
