What’s it like to feed a new golden hamster? Since Centex, my son’s first Golden, passed away, Centine, his successor, has been getting used to her new, big cage and furnishings. In contrast to him, who lived happily in his wooden labyrinth, she is digging lots of tunnels under the wooden cage and under the wooden houses we put in it. Today, we got to observe her eating (in the picture below, you can see the hole she has dug to her tunnel right in front of the wooden labyrinth with the plexiglass lid):

When her cheeks were stuffed, she vanished into a hole she had dug under her wooden labyrinth. See you next time, Centine!
