The Little Chubby Hamster: Munchkin

 ~munchmunch~ ~nomnom~

Yes, that is what he does all the time. Munchkin (nicknamed Kin) is my sister's (Kim's) hamster and is very friendly, despite his disliking to leave his cage. He was born on July 1, 2009, and is now a fat, chubby little fluffball. I'd say he's a happy lil hammy, but I can't say that anymore because of what had just happened a few days before...

He had a brother named Munchlet (nicknamed Let), who, sadly, passed away two days ago, on April 11, 2011. May he R. I. P. Although Kin is very strong physically, I worry for him because he is not so strong mentally. Let and Kin had been together all their lives, and being separated now, at almost 2 years old, is stressful for Kin. The had played, ate, and slept with (and sometimes on) each other. On the first day of being separated, Kin had desperately searched all over for his brother, eventually giving up. Even now I see him wander around his cage as if in search of his brother, though I cannot be sure. It breaks my heart to see how scared he is to be away from lil Let.
