Salt + Mushy

Salt and Mushy are my newest friends, two Russian Dwarf Hamsters.
Mushy is short for Mushaboom or Musha. I call Salt Salt because when we were taking them home, me and Saren said "Salt" into the box the hammies were in, and I think they liked it because they began scratching at the box when they heard the name.

That picture is of Salt. At the time I was taking pictures, Mushy was asleep, so I only have pics of Salt right now.

Mushy and Salt used to live together in a big cage (like in the picture), but they started to fight and it's possible that Salt has wet tail and I don't want Mushy to get it. So we put Salt in Chuck's old cage and put her in my room and are giving her wet-tail medicine everyday.

Right now, Mushy doesn't like the hamster ball at all. Salt love love loves it. I have a video of her racing around in her ball that I'll upload later (along with Chester's movie, which was originally too long and we now have to make a new, shorter one).

Chuck and Morgan.. :(

Since I blogged about getting them, I guess I should blog about their death. Chuck and Morgan.
Yeah, no more hammies. I'm still trying to get over it. I really don't know why they died, and on the same date at around the same time.
They were really sweet hamsters; and kind of weird too, like how Chuck used to run not in but on top of his wheel. They were also females according to the vet we took Chuck to.

We had their funeral on Jan. 26th 2011, the day after they died. We put the bodies in towels and put those in a shoebox, which was tied together with a purple ribbon. We also put Morgan's yellow wheel in with the hole.
I miss them more then anything...I loved them.

Also, Chester has a quick note for you all:
