Alexa's hamster, Cutie, has been living with us for about month now. She is becoming relatively friendly, and the kids like to sit in bathtub with her (without any water of course) and let her run around on them. It works well as a playpen for her as it lets them play together without the risk of her escaping. We decided to add to her exercises routine a bit by purchasing the hamster ball. Alexa wanted one from the moment she got her, but I had her hold off until she got more use to her surroundings. Last weekend we stopped by the pet store to purchase a ball. Alexa picked out the purple glittery one feeling sure that is the one Cutie would prefer.
She does seem to like it; racing around the house. I read the instructions to Alexa, and she is dutifully following them. Don't use near stairs (as she could fall). Don't leave her to play in the direct sunlight (as she could over heat). She follows her around the house saying, "Oops no sunlight for you that's not on the Cutie menu." "Let's not get stuck under there. I'll move you over here."
Cabbie find the hamster ball rather interesting too. This is the closest he has been allowed to be with her and he isnt' exactly sure what to make of her.
