Courtney was feeling left out, so she bought Chocolate on Saturday. That makes a grand total of 4 hamsters here now!

She was fine this morning. I noticed her looking listless in her hutch this afternoon, got her out and I could tell she wasn’t well. She felt too cold for my liking. She wouldn’t eat a carrot, and she’ll normally … Continue reading
