After Clay got Mickey the other day, Ben decided that he too wanted a hamster. Afterschool today we headed back over to Superpets for another one and a big tube farm. Ben picked out and named Melvin, who is almost an identical twin to Mickey.
Clay put together the tube farm and we put them in to play. They did great until about a half an hour ago when they started fighting and pushing/shoving each other in the tubes (evidently both are pretty stubborn because neither one would give in and go back). After some research, Clay determined that this type of hamster is not supposed to be with others. So, we have had to seperate the "boys". We put Melvin in the little cage and he completely freaked out! We ended up having to put him in the tube farm and Mickey back in the little cage until we can go get another tube farm on Sunday (I'll be at a meeting all day for the GFWC ---SC Women's Club---board meeting and Clay is leaving early in the morning for Camp Barstow to do some training that is a role of his new OA job).
Otherwise the guys are so cute and funny! They loved the tube farm and have, other than the fights, had a blast playing. We have so enjoyed watching and laughing at them!
