With the passing of Oreo a month back (may he rest in peace) we were left with 2 female hamsters and 2 aquariums. These two live together and are inseparable (dwarfs do not have to live alone) so we've given them more space by connecting the aquariums. I was worried that they'd end getting separated with this 2-level configuration and then forgetting the scent of the other hamster (they're stupid this way) and then getting in a huge fight as a result of mistakening the other for a stranger. Luckily, when one goes upstairs or downstairs, the other follows close behind. So far so good.

latest hamster home configuration, can you see Snowy?

Fatty struggles up the hill (she's no Lance Armstrong)

Fatty makes it to the ground floor of her home

Snowy's already made it down and finished a meal

Sometimes I dream of designing a home that is nothing but hampster tubes from space to space. Sortof like a huge roller-coaster, but with cool rooms attached at specific points, and enclosed.
Fun! ;)
That's pretty cool! You could make a labyrinth of tubing with crazy interconnects and lots of dead ends, so they have to smell their way out to the food. That would be fun. For about a minute.
Long time no see. --
Ben my hamsters aren't that bright. These are creatures that eat their own young when they get scared :)
Anonymous, still no see if I have no idea who you are.
awww cute!! haha yes, i am a hamster lover. I love cute lil things like that.. except mice =\ but anyway, i had a dwarf hamster once.. well, she's still there actually, but she has become sooo mean.. if i tried to touch her, she would bite me. Her name is Elephant, by the way. I have to play with her using gloves now, and i even have to wear the gloves when im getting her new food because she will attack me! haha. anyways, cuuute. ;P
