My cousin nudge me over MSN on Monday night asking me to adopt a hammie in.
Based on her information, someone just abandon a hammie in a small cage measuring around 15cm long by 7cm wide by 10cm tall. The hammie looks dirty and thristy as there was no water source found in the tiny cage. Nor there was any form of bedding in the cage.
After much discussion with my cousin, she decided to adopt the hammie in althrough she had no prior experience in keeping hamsters. I truly salute her determination in her actions and wanted to support her as well. So I decided to give away one of my cage with some beddings and food to Kuro (my cousin's hammie).
Kuro is a very young (under 3mths old), male Russian Winter White after a short inspection on Tuesday. Very alert enough to know that it is being abandoned but generally very friendly towards strangers.
What I suspected was that Kuro was purhcased from pet store by someone but the family object against pet raising and hence abandon Kuro along with the mini cage at the flat's lobby beside the rubbish collection area.
A lot of non-pet owners thinks that pet abandoning is easy.
But it is not true especially for the pets involved.
Pets DO feel and DO understand that THEY ARE ABANDONED.
My 1st hamster was also an abandoned hamster but I tried asking my neighbours and no one come forward and admit that they had missing hamster. Ah Girl was very fierce to me when I tried to touch her the 1st time round. I end up getting bitten while trying to feed her.
She was an old hamster, around the age of 1+ years old, with a bit of fur dropping off, hence her appearance wasn't the prettiest. I nursed her back to health and we spent a happy 1/2 year together before she passed away of old age.
It is never easy to gain the trust of abandon ones as they had be betrayed by someone who are supposed look after them for lifetime until death bring them apart.
So before you, as the reader of this blog, decided to get a new hamster,
please note that PETS ARE LIFETIME COMMITMENT.
Cherish your pets just as you would like to cherish your loved ones.
Our pets truly deserved every single love from you as much as any other living human beings.
~PEACE TO THE WORLD~
