Internet? Meet Skid. The newest addition to the Chez Moogie household. She's a Dwarf Hamster. Don't let her size fool you. She's faster than a speeding bullet! She's not any bigger than a large marble. And she wont' get any bigger. Chickie got her for her birthday from her BFF Noodles. Before you hold up your hands in horror, Noodles as well as her mom, did ask me if it was ok. Because of the recent and tragic death of Peep I really thought it would be a good idea. I'll wait while you slap me silly.
The interesting thing about Skid is that she will require a bit more care than Peep did. She needs her daily teaspoon or two of dried oatmeal, some greens, carrots and apple chunks here and there. Responsibility! I shouted to myself! This is a good thing! I thought. So now I have to wait and see if she will follow through. Because I won't. They are cute and all. I love to watch them when they are in their little ball. Don't they get tired? Good Lord, who needs a gym membership when you have your very own ball?
At any rate, she's here and I kind of like her. I think the verdict is still out for Tiny though. Go take a look at the extended video to see what I mean.

Oh Brother!
Tiny is going to have fun I'm sure of it..
Yeah hamsters no matter what size are fast little darling and it is amazing where the can end up, one I had ended up in the false ceiling above the stairs after it somehow got up into the attic space from my room..
I will figure out that Textspeak at some point I'm sure.
Yeah responsibility like I said at the start oh Brother........

I'm not much for rodents but his little guy is cute. What a fun birthday present, and I'm glad you were consulted first. I have a friend that I'm kind of annoyed at right now, and I'm thinking about getting her daughter a puppy.

Hee hee... too stinkin' cute! :achoo:
Drat. I'm allergic to those too. (Wish I weren't though.)
Our lizard is amazingly fast. He seems to be a branch potato - just basking on his branch. But when he wants to move - ZOOM!! Maybe we should've named him Zoom instead of Godzilla.

You are so brave, I could never live with something so rodent-like.

I'm not for the rodents either but this one is adorable!...I have 3 dogs, I have to wonder how nuts they would be to see a little thing in a ball move around. Your dog was quite calm lol
