I bought a hamster about 2 weeks ago and I love her. I didn't think I'd fall for her so quickly, but it's impossibly hard when every single thing she does could be short-listed for the Guinness World Record of "cutest thing in the world". I've wanted a hamster for as long as I can remember, but my parents would never allow it. So I figured that since I'm living away from home now, this would be the perfect opportunity to finally have that pet companion I've always longed for.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my pleasure to introduce to you... Jiffy the Rhino, the Russian Dwarf Hamster.
I named her
Jiffy because she climbed out of her box and dipped 2 hours after I bought her (forcing me to go on a 2-hour long frantic hamster hunt), and
Rhino because two of my friends wanted me to get a rhino as a pet instead of a hamster (which for obvious reasons would not have been feasible).
She's smaller than the size of my palm and she enjoys eating, sleeping, 2-second bursts of running on her wheel, tossing around wood shavings, using the bars of her cage as monkey bars, nibbling my finger, pooing on boys' hands, and the occasional bottle of Kaluah.
That bottle of Kaluah on the left? Yeah, not mine. It's Jiffy's.
