02/21/2003: "Hamster fun"
Why do hamsters like to dive bomb out of your hands to the floor three feet below? Sometimes I think they think they have wings. Whenever I take Teddy out of the cage and play with him, as soon as I put him back in, Lucky is literately climbing all over him and smelling him, trying to figure out where he went or something.
Speaking of dive bombing hamsters, back when I was 11, my sister (who would have been 6 at the time) and her friend took my hamster out to play with, and somehow hurt it so that it didn't have the use of his back legs anymore. I absolutely freaked out, but the hamster lived for another year and a half, dragging his hind legs behind him. I actually took him to the vet (picture 11-year-old me sobbing while holding the hamster up to the vet's face), but there wasn't anything we could do for him. Over time, he got some use of them back, and was always a completely happy hamster. It was sad, because when he got to the ancient hamster age of 2, he stopped moving around much at all for a few weeks, and his back legs basically deteriorated.
I love hamsters. I'm such a little kid sometimes. :)
