hamster pictures
I got some pictures of the new hamsters. They're not great because they are sneaky and tricksy little guys.
First, two pictures of Carot in the bowl. (We've decided to change the spelling of his name to Carot so that all of our pets have 5-letter names. Yes, we're weird.)
Now a couple pictures of Nobby. You can see that Nobby has a stumpy tail. Chinese dwarf hamsters are supposed to have a tail about an inch long, but Nobby either has an old injury or a birth defect, and his tail is all stumpy. As far as we can tell, it isn't causing him any problems.
We bought some little fleece pocket things and we've been able to put them into the pockets and play with them a little. They're very sweet, but Nobby is definitely more comfortable with us than Carot. And Carot can be a little bit bitey. But we like them both, and they are looking to me like they're both boys, but I'm still only about 80% sure.
