Hamster dreaming...
Hullo...It's been a while, but I'm back to writing for good! Had to fix the fan in my computer.
So I've been wondering about these bizarre positions that Tink has been sleeping in. She seems to like sleeping squashed against the glass in one way or other. It looks incredibly uncomfortable, but there's no question about it--this is her new favorite way of sleeping. Maybe it's because she's turned her little house into her stash-storage place?
Maybe she's hot? I keep the apartment about 70 degrees Farenheit all year round. So it's not hot in here by human standards, though I have no idea what hamster standards would be.
The other thing--isn't it hard to breathe all squashed against the glass like that? And her sense of smell is really good, so why would she sqash her nose against the glass where she can't smell anything? It's the cutest thing...you can see her little teeth when she does it this way. But how come she doesn't fog up the glass? Does that mean that you can't use the old mirror trick to check if a hamster is breathing or not? And should her teeth be that yellow? And are her nails too long?
I also wonder if hamsters dream. Or fart. Or burp. They are so tiny...it would be hard to tell.
