We thought of adopting another male hamster as a playmate to Fly ever since we observed that he gets quite depressive sometimes.
I stalked Singapore Hamsters Club everyday and finally adopted 2 hamsters from a forum user.
We actually only wanted just 1 hamster but the owner preferred both to be adopted together.
After discussing with HIM, we decided to just go ahead with the adoption which lead to a series of unfortunate events!
Instead of just 1 hamster, we adopted 2...
These supposed-to-be-male hamsters as assured by the owner turned out to be FEMALES...
These 2 hamsters which were cohabiting in peace previously started fighting when introduced into their new cage...
Seriously, the situation almost got out of control.
We did not get the playmate for Fly as we intended...
Instead of just preparing 1 cage, we had to setup 2 cages...
Anyway, these 2 hamsters are much more fierce as compared to Fly.
Introducing the tamer 1 - Squeaky which will squeak when she is feeling threatened.
Next is Nami which is like a watch dog. Always on the alert!
They are starting to grow on us though.
Our first activity once we get home is to check on them and 'play' with them for at least a few minutes before carrying on with other activities.
Although having 3 hamsters in 3 cages is more than what we had bargained for, the pleasure and laughter we get from them is all worth it!
