Drew got a hamster back in December. Something I swore I would never have! And darn if she wasn’t fun to have around. She was extremely active, spent her time filling her pouch with food, running on her wheel, chewing on everything in sight, and biting fingers every chance she got. Of course we came home with a hamster and a cute plastic cage that looked like a house. And then Drew did a bunch of research on YouTube and discovered those cute plastic homes they sell at pet stores are really not good for your pet hamster. So he drug up an old fish tank from the basement that was home to Larry the Lizard back in the day when Eric had his lizard. We spent hours getting it all cleaned up and set up only to decide it wasn’t big enough for a hamster. I wan’t willing to spend money on a large fish tank to I went to Facebook for ideas and Jeremy’s mom offered us their 100 gallon fish tank that was home to Jeremy’s pyrannahs. I now have a gigantic fish tank in my living room, directly under the TV. Oh what moms will do for their kids! Unfortunately, as we were in the process of setting this tank up, Snowball escaped. She was missing from Saturday night until Thursday when we found her on the backporch of all places. She was hurt, her back legs weren’t working. We put her back in her cage but she passed the next day. Drew was heartbroken. I never dreamed he would become so attached to a little critter that he couldn’t even pick up for fear of getting bit in such a short amount of time but he cried and cried. Then he asked if we could go get another one. And we did. We are now the proud owners of a Black Bear Syrian Hamster named Boo Boo Bear!
