Introducing...

the newest members of the family that Kaley & Caroline adopted on Saturday:

Meet Milky Mouse
He is Caroline's new pride and joy. He's an albino (see his red eyes). Apparently some of the other naughty mice weren't so nice to him and he got a tiny scratch by his eye and was put up for adoption and Caroline just fell in love with him instantly. Check out his colorful new cage below. We bought extra tubes but didn't get enough...we will be getting 1 more straight piece so he will be able to run through the tubes completely around his cage...way cool!

Meet Blackie
Blackie is a dwarf hamster and is only 3 weeks old. Kaley adopted him and thinks he's a male (but it's too soon to tell yet). The wonderful salesperson at the pet store was listening to my kids talk on and on about how much they love hammies, so she brought out a cage with babies in it and got special permission to adopt them out. Kaley was ecstatic! We also saw 5 day old hammy babies, incredible! Since the babies were so little, we fell in love and actually adopted TWO, so meet Blackie's sister below:

Meet Tinkerbell
Kaley swears that Tinkerbell is a girl, aren't the siblings adorable?! The live in the same cage for now and are so sweet with each other. They are weaned and doing great with us so far.


I know you all probably think I'm insane to get more pets after the recent losses that we've had, but I just couldn't deny my girls the joy that having a pet brings...animals make them both so happy and they are very good Mommies. They have decided that I am the "Hammy Grammy", LOL! The store was having such an incredible sale that we got some different hammy toys that are too cute for words, so I'm sure we will have many crazy hamster/mouse posts to come. You've got to stay tuned, I promise a good chuckle! :)
