Sunshine & Cloudy

Let me introduce our Newest Family members in LZfamily - Sunshine (L's pet, female) & Cloudy (Z's pet, male)! They are LZ's latest pets, hamsters! They named the pets themselves.

We have been thinking of what presents to get for LZ. In the end, I thought it would be a better idea to ask them what they would like. L wants to have a hamster and Z just wants a book and more Thomas & Friends trains. I told Z that jiejie is getting a hamster for her birthday and he decided that he wants that instead. I thought it would take me some time to persuade LZdaddy to let LZ have hamsters for their birthdays but he said yes without hesitation! I think he sees that LZ have been taking good care of Terro (their pet terrapin) for the past 2 years.

We went to Serangoon with godparents to visit a few pet shops and finally found one that has more selections on Syrian breed AND that doesn't push us to buy it. Thanks to godparents, otherwise clueless LZparents wouldn't know where to buy their hamsters. The only thing I know is what breed I am planning to buy for them, we were looking at Syrian (my first choice coz LZ had tried handling it), Roborovski and Winter white.

LZ had fun choosing their hamsters and the cage. Z insisted on having the one with only one color. L and I actually like the one which is black & one but I convinced her to take another one coz that one was way too active and I was afraid how she's going to handle it.

The cage is ready and LZ ready to transfer the hamsters. The hamsters were in the little bag in front of L.

After choosing their hamsters, we went over to another shop to get the cage and food. I like the service of this shop. The lady, Yvonne did not 'push' us to buy the hamster from her and she gave us plenty of advice on how to take care of the hamsters. From her, I found out the hamsters we bought are FIERCE! OOPS! She told us those with red eyes are fierce type of hamsters! Well, I do hope she is wrong....

They both wanted to have a cage each for their hamsters but I said no. So mean hor? They wanted that for their birthdays and I said no. Honestly, I am not sure how long their hamsters will survive under their care and didn't want to waste too much money. Knowing L, she will takes good care of Sunshine's cage and Z may not do a good job. So if I place both under one cage, L will definitely takes good care of both. When Beanie is born, I will definitely not have any time to help them at all.
