Cornelius (First HP reference gets smacked)

Mon Oct 26, 2009, 3:14 PM

So, I got a hamster for my step-brother's birthday. In case that's confusing, it's MY hamster. I got it on HIS birthday.
It's all good.
So, after long consideration, I decided to name my hamster Cornelius.
(I considered Socrates, but my mother said we could call the hamster ball a Socra-Ball..... -.-)
So, I went and looked at the hamsters.... and decided on one.
...
But she's a female hamster.
And by then, I was dead set on Cornelius, so I have a girl hamster named Cornelius.
I usually just call her Corny.
Well, first night she was here, she rearranged all her bedding while I was sleeping. While I was at school today, she clogged up two tubes with bedding and fell asleep in her food bowl. Which is cute, confusing, but cute.
My cat loves her. When Corny's off in the hamster ball, it's like her own little cat toy. -.-'
And she bit me already... well, she wasn't sure if I was food or not, y'know?
At least, that's the story I'm sticking to.

That's psyke! My cat's name is Cornelius!
Weird....
So, what kind of hampster is she?
Anyways, I like that you name your hampster a confusing name (in this case, gender), 'cause I named mine Pwka, Bwda, and Bahnshi.
All to piss off the vets, right?

I used to do hamsters-- well, I had two hamsters, and a mouse in between them-- Scatter, Charles, and Peanut, respectively. After Peanut, I stopped with the rodents and moved onto fish, then onto my cats. =_= I have quite the interesting tales about my hamsters, though.

Yeah, you always let the little dudes get used to their cage for a few days, then you bring em on out for a while.
MY RAT MESSED WITH HER BEDDING ALL THE TIME.
She'd pile it all up in one corner. Then my dad would complain because I didn't put enough bedding in the cage when I changed it. >_>

Yeah, Corny's cage has a wheel attached to the food bowl and these stairs, and there's this hidey hole underneath. She's been using both the food bowl and the hidey hole as toilets. I think she may lose her wheel at this rate......

xD
Have you ever read Peeps, by Scott Westerfield? I totally got the name from Cal.
She's a teddy bear hamster - the orange and white ones.
If I piss off the vet, they might mistreat my hamster.... and I'm worried about her...
