Chomp Chomp

(Sing to the tune of Brother John)

I love grinding

I love biting

I just wanna crunch 

I just wanna munch

Give me those apple sticks

Give me those apple sticks

munch crunch branch

munch crunch branch

One average apple stick would be reduced to this size in less than 45min thanks to be jaw and teeth power.

You have serve your duty well, apple stick

Munching happily. Could you all hear the sound?
(That's how we service her every night)

Mama's note:

I have conducted an experiment over these 2 nights

Day 1

Time	Lights	TV	Results
9 to 930pm	On	On	Ham in escape mode
931 to 10pm	Off	On	Ham in escape mode
1001 to 1030pm	Off	Off	Ham in ninja mode
1031 to 11pm	On	On	Ham in escape mode

Day 2

Time	Lights	TV	Results
9 to 930pm	On	On	Ham in escape mode
931 to 10pm	Off	Off	Ham in ninja mode
1001 to 1030pm	On	Off	Ham in escape mode
1031 to 11pm	Off	On	Ham in escape mode

Ninja mode refers to quiet hammie that will do her own stuff, like running wheel and tearing her tissue.

Escape mode refers to active hammie that  will jump around the cage, run around like crazy, climb up and down and biting the cage.

I conclude that both lights and TV that the Chloe will look out for or at least something it could sense. TV can be quite glaring too.  Possibly, Chloe has associated those lights and sound with the presence of human. Only when the humans are around, then there will be chance that it can be let out. It takes her about 2 to 5 minutes to realise the change in environment and  adapt to it.

This experiment is only done over 2 days. For a more conclusive results, the experiment should have conducted over a longer period. However, due to the dim light and really bright screen, my eyes are dying and therefore the experiment is halted.

About her squeaking wheel, i have put some vegetable oil. It helps! :)

No sound now

My Name: Chloe

I was finally name Chloe. To my humans, I groomed myself a little too much and thought that i was really vain. Initially they called me 'hel bu' (vain girl), then they changed it to 'chio bu' (pretty girl).  Mama thought that the name was quite uncouth and revised it to Cleo. Cleo as in the magazine published by SPH. But mama is still unsatisfied. She finds that name a little hard to pronouce. And finally, the name evolves to Chloe. I guess that's a nice name. :) Grandma calls me xiao bai which literally small and white.

Well, the humans can't blame me for grooming myself. I am a happy hammie

 Grooming expresses the hamsters well being and contentment. Prolonged grooming or continuous and liberal face, and body washing, is made when the hamster is put in unfamiliar areas. - Hammyworld

Mama also gave me a slice of apple today. A really small one. I simply loved it, so much that when Mama removed the yellow apple, i refused to let it go. Yum Yum. Hope there's more fruits next time

Mama's note:
Went to Serangoon North today. Shopped for quite a few things
Bought:

• Kaytee Rose scented Beddings 500CU @ $20 from The Little Flower Pet Shop (UP $24.3)
• Sanco Supple Vitamin C 20g & Alex Cool Pate @ $10 from  The Little Flower Pet Shop (UP $7.5 & $4.8 respectively)
• Some cat litter (as bathing sand) @ $6 from House of Chinchilla  (UP $7.5)

The uncles seems to be giving great discount. Either or the price of those items are marked up quite high.
Have given her some new beddings. She seems to like it. Perhaps it is white and resembles her favourite tissue.
Food given: Food Mix and a small thin slice of apple
