Meet Sprout, one of the new dwarf babies.

She likes to do things her own way.

She is still very much a baby

Here is poor Murray, I scared him and he was very upset about it.

Chinchilla time!

Sometimes they snuggle:

And sometimes they do weird stuff on their own. Zoey has been sleeping like this a lot lately. But now, if she seems me coming and doesn't want to be bothered, she squeezes her eyes closed and pretends to be sleeping.

Poor Murray. I'd probably get scared if someone hid under my bridge too.

What a funny thing that Zoey does, pretending to sleep! Laughing

Zoey's pretending to sleep is a hoot! Anyone who thinks animals are dumb just hasn't lived with any.

Poor Murray...but his shell-shocked look is soooo cute. And Splotchy -- what else can be said about that marvelous girl?

I howled at Sprout's over-the-shoulder approach to the water bottle as it was all too familiar: Imogene does that frequently and she has to be almost 4 months old. Such silly hams!

Oh, quick question: I know that dwarf hams love their sand baths and I assume chinchillas do, too, as the sand is usually marketed as "chinchilla bath sand" --- do Murray and Splotchy like sand baths as well? I have a cute hamster-shaped ceramic sand bath that I used as a hide for the mice but would be glad to add it to the playpen (with sand) if I thought Imogene would enjoy it. She's always grooming, especially after she's been eating something moist, like cucumber, so maybe she'd like a good roll in the sand?

Sprout looked like she was doing a yoga position in that first video Laughing

she's so cute!

I think I have a soft spot for Murray... whenever I see him I think, that is one handsome hamster Smile

I love those pics of Murray. They're all so cute! Laughing

about the fake sleeping.

Splotchy loves an occasional sandbath during playtime but Murray has never been into it. So I think it's hit or miss with Syrians. The chinchilla bath sand is safe, as long as it's actual sand (not dust). The one I'm familiar with comes in a carton that looks like a milk carton.

Splotchy has a funny routine in the sand bath. If I can find my video, I'll post it.

Archie takes a sand bath after every time I handle him... I think he thinks my hands are sweaty and gross Laughing
