Crybaby Sid wants to petition you all to have the "crybaby" nickname removed. He says he's very brave now and even tried an arugula. #hamster #floridafiasco #newthings #braveboy

Clifford is getting adopted! He's a Florida Fiasco ham who was being fostered in Indianapolis. Now I'm taking him back because the adopter he's going to is in our area. Happy trails, little dude. Meanwhile, Mortimer, Finnie Pig, and Castiel are done with tooth stuff and recovering from anaesthesia. Looks like Finnian will also have to go on the "frequent dental visits" list. #hamster #floridafiasco #vetday #littlearms

Sinbad's water bottle got stuck and needed some jostling. Alex fixed it, but I guess he didn't want to wait for her to put it back before he had a drink. Every once in a while, the odd vacuum and surface tension seal that makes water bottles with a stem and ball work will mess up. It usually just takes a squeeze of the bottle until it drips to get the flow going again, but hamsters can't do that. Always keep an eye out for signs that your pets aren't drinking. #hamster #sinbad #floridafiasco #thirsty

Crybaby Sid is helping us decide which backyard for age is the most delicious. It looks like he's a retry big fan of alfalfa flowers. Alfalfa is also called lucerne in some parts of the world. It's part of the legumes family of plants, it is a good source of dietary protein, and is a major component of many commercial hamster foods. #hamster #floridafiasco #alfalfa #lucerne #forage

Little baby Sid has grown a bit bigger in past weeks. He's still a timid guy, but he's happy enough to be held until he gets sick of it and wants to run off and do more exploring. #hamster #floridafiasco #timid #cute

Lady Akira loves apples. Which is something she just learned today. She's one of the Florida Fiasco mom's, and she is a hulking 210 grams post-apple. #floridafiasco #hamster #cute #snacks #apple

We tried to give treats to Harley, Leslie, and Drusilla who are three of the remaining FF baby girls. Leslie and Drusilla decided to explore. But Harley was on a mission. #hamster #snacks #floridafiasco #smultron

Baby hamsters do the strangest sleeps. Is the pile nice and warm? Is the plastic wall nice and cool? Does the potty wall provide shade? Does the clear wall make for a nice sunny nap? They're not talking. And not just because these are important state secrets. It turns out hamsters actually can't talk. Who knew? #hamster #babies #babyanimals #naptime #whyyoudothis #floridafiasco
