I'm a grandmother!
I haven't told you about my babies! They're all grown up and already made love and gave birth to 6 cute little babies. Well, at first, they weren't cute. They were tiny pink hairless weird looking things. But by the third week, they've opened their eyes and their fur has grown! Adorable little things, I tell you!
I couldn't wait to touch them. I was almost sad that I had difficulty catching them with their parents around biting off at my fingers. But one day, in the middle of the night, I woke up, and was finally able to hold one of them in my hands! Why such weird timing? We had 6 babies, see. But one day, one of them disappeared. One night, my sisters woke me up in a hoo-haa saying they found the lost baby. Their pathetic efforts of catching it drove me out of bed to rescue it personally. And I did! But it was really in the middle of the night and I was sleepy. So I just put it back to it's home and went back to sleep. Hahah.
Anyway, we gave away 3 of them to my cousins. But guess what? It hasn't been five weeks since the 6 of them were born when just yesterday, the parents gave birth to another 5! But today one of them died. I really wanted to feel some pity. I did. A little. But it was hard because a few days old hamster babies are really not that cute. The first time I saw them, I thought they were worms! But they become really cute little furballs by the time they reach 3 weeks.
