The hamster’s name is Stella Luna and she is pretty cute. It turns out that I am highly allergic to hamsters so I don’t go near her to help take care of her in any way. This is good for my daughter because she is learning how to be more responsible and I am learning how to butt out and let her be in control of something. You are probably wondering why I am writing about our pet Stella in my Crohn’s blog. Well, as it turns out hamsters are very sensitive to stress. They do not like change and get anxious pretty easily. I read the “How to Take Care of Your Hamster” book after we got her and it states that after you buy your hamster you should leave them alone for a few days to let them adjust to their environ...

Maybe. But don’t worry, dear readers (well, for those who’re still visiting this site).  I’ll make some substantial posts soon.  I think I should be finalizing the draft of my post on a Stephen King novel.  That is, when I get to pick up the pieces of my brain soon and put it back together. By the way, please check out my hammies’ facebook accoun...

I used to have guinea pigs but that was ages ago. I think I have already forgotten how it was to take care of these fancy rodents (hamsters and guinea pigs share the same Order, Rodentia, but of different suborders, the hamsters being in Myomorpha while the guinea pigs are in Hystricomorpha). But I rather miss the touch of their soft fur and their little squeaks so I’ve decided to start having these as pets again. This time, it’s hamsters. That’s the current home of my two teddy bear hammies, Coco and Qingzi (more photos of them later). I actually started with just one cage, housing Coco and the late Pao Chi (who died for reasons that I still don’t know up to now, and probably will never know...
