Welcome Melvin!

After a few weeks of wait, I finally received my new baby hamster! It was given to me by Rebecca's colleague who keeps like a whole bunch of them at her office desk. I gave him the name 'Melvin'. At first I thought 'Jimmy' was a nice name. It still is... but it may sound a bit cheapskate... or casual... so I decided to call him 'Melvin' instead.

Melvin is still a baby, about one month old. Still very small and looks so cute! The most striking feature is his eyes! So innocent and childlike! Well, it is still a baby. When I first carried him, he felt so light! I can’t even estimate what his weight is… Maybe 2 grams or something like that. Hahahaha… =)

I hope Melvin will soon grow to get used to his new cage and my smell. As it is, he is still too small to crawl up and down the tunnel. But I am sure he would be able to soon… now he’s all cuddled up inside the little pink box asleep! Hee!
