About what..............7 weeks ago I think.....September 14thish - or was it the weekend after that? Does anyone remember when the Pork & Apple Festival was? Because it was THAT Sunday that GranmaR bought SuperStar & Spidey the 2 hamsters for their birthday. Sweetest little things. Oreo & Raven. Pretty certain we did a post introducing them..........well tonight I was cleaning their cage and there was Oreo eating food - there was Raven pogo bouncing to the opening trying to leap out into freedom............Raven does this - she will literally escape from her house at least 2x a week. And then in the morning I will be walking around - I am almost always the first one up - and she will eventually scurry to me to be picked up and placed back into her house. What in heavens name is that about? When have you ever - EVER - ever heard of a hammie that escapes their house and then comes straight to you in the morning to be picked up to go to bed for the day? Anyone?
I didn't think so.
Anyway.........I am cleaining the cage - Oreo is eating as usual - and Raven is begging to be picked up and put in her ball. And then I noticed another hamster. A very small gray hamster.....who was walking around like a drunk. We didn't buy that one. We bought 2 FEMALE hamsters. The store helper explained to Spidey why they only sold them in SAME SEX PAIRS.........so there was no mating........no surprises.........well looky here!!! This is either emaculate conception - or someone doesn't know how to pick out a hammie penis. Hmmm............
That figured out - see I am not saying emaculate conception doesn't exist, but I don't think God is going to waste that miracle on our hamsters - I could be wrong and I suppose if tomorrow a bush in the back yard goes up in flames I will reconcider.......but for now I am going to say the store helpers can't decipher what a hammie penis looks like (and honestly I can't either).
and now we have 5 more hamsters...........
Anyone trying to figure out what to get their kids for Christmas? Because we will be weaning baby hammies mid December.......anyone? anyone?
Here is a last funny - the store helper said that if we brought them back in at 4 weeks old they would decipher the sex for us so we can divide them up. Now tell me - do we trust the store workers who helped us buy 2 FEMALE hamsters to begin with?

See.. if I'd read this to begin with, it would have circumvented that whole other discussion... *laughs* They are adorable and actually, what I'm most impressed by is the hamster that comes to you to be put back in its cage. That right there may be your burning bush. Just sayin'.
Be careful about your escapee. One time Tim's mother found his hamster in the oven...after she baked some chicken....
