Sad thought

I have decided not to bring Lu and Luce with me to Singapore. It is a very saddening thought. But leaving them for 2 weeks with a busy vet at every checkpoint is not what I have in mind for them. What if they fight? What if one changes the bedding and they get an infection?? What if they don't have enough to eat and drink?? It's not difficult for anyone to overlook hamsters when there are other more interactive pets around, like dogs and cats. I can't risk all that. I'll miss them. I may get other hamsters but there can never be another Lulu and Lucy.

My God, another fight. I wonder what's with them nowadays. Maybe they have been arguing, I don't know. They still share a house despite there being two. They seem to enjoy each other's company in the day. But it can be totally different when after the sun sets. I guess there is truce between the two for the meantime. Each is busy with her own hamster business.

why leave em at the vet?i remember my housemate keeping rabbits.i didn't hear of any difficulties of any sort.i mean,just give em lots of food for morning till night.and changing of the bedsheet can be done after lectures.personally i think keeping hamsters is a lot easier.and they're more 'mobile'-meaning they can be brought anywhere due to their small size.it's different from keeping a cat or dog.
or maybe like you said,it's not about maintainance,but the quarantine.damn.
