I do not own hamsters, though when I was in kindergarten, we were considering getting one. But then one of my sister's friends had pet gerbils who had babies. So we got a gerbil instead. [I'm going to tell my stories anyways. Even though gerbils aren't hamsters.] He was a cinnamon gerbil and we named him Felix. He never really tamed well because we were so young, but he got really fat. After Felix, we got two more who were Felix Jr. and Max. We later found out that Felix Jr. was a girl and then she had babies. Six babies. Two brown ones--those both died, two gray ones, a white one and a tan one. We kept two, and gave two away. The two we gave away had babies and the poor people we gifted them to ended up with 44 gerbils.
It doesn't end there. The two we kept were in separate cages--because opposite genders. The gray one's name was Buckeye and he was mine. He was such an... accordion. I'm serious. He loved to be held like you would an accordion. The other one was a tan one. She was a girl, but we named her Tanner [she was my sister's]. She liked to bite me. I used to call her Hamtaro and then she got mad at me for it and bit me. ;c
After that bunch, we got little Scamper [he was my sister's]. He was a brown-and-white pied gerbil. Really cute. He loved exploring outside the cage. And then while we had Scamper, one of my friends gave me Gus. It's ironic, because she looked a lot like Tanner--and is also a girl gerbil with a boy's name. And she was a vicious one. She liked biting me for no reason. Haha...
After Scamper, my sister got Niblet. She was a black-and-white pied gerbil. And this gerbil had, like, ADHD or something. She would be the one who would come running along, crash into her water bottle and then decide she was thirsty and get a drink. And this gerbil liked to roll like a dog, too. After Gus died, I got the sweetie, Pilet. She was albino. And she was so precious. She never bit me. Ever. Such a huge step down from Gus. And then we got Caramel the same day as Pilet. Caramel was a cream-and-white pied gerbil. He was a funny little guy.
After Niblet and Pilet died, we got three more gerbils. Yes, Caramel was still alive then. These three are our current three. Nutmeg and Cinnamon, who are sisters and live together. There is something mentally wrong with Cinnamon, though. She is such a blob. And kind of... dull-witted for a gerbil, too. Poppie, a cute little brown gerbil, who lives separate from the sisters because she is from a different litter.
Gerbils are fun. Really, really fun. They have faces. So do hamsters, but... gerbils have tails. That aren't stumps. And they're furry tails. x3
