Just in case you didn't know: Lego make a great building material for hamster cages.
1) They can't chew through it,
2) it won't grow anything on it no matter how much they pee.
3) it isn't water permeable
4) it is reconfigurable.
5) It offers bright colors to keep their mind active.
6) you can get it any place.

| Some of the kids between 14 and 19 days old. They look a little raty since I haven't been able to clean the cage, but I will in another two days once they are completley weaned. One or more pups didn't make it. Apparently mom thought it was too tastie to live. |

| Looks like I bought another pregnant hamster. Since Memo came home on the 12th and it is now the 27th that means she got lucky near the 6th. Lots more hamsters will be playing with Lego. |

Dash the hamster went to the spa and came back much refreshed and with
a new name, Memo. I figured this was a good time to rebuild the lego
housing.
Hamster Names
Traditionally my hamsters get named based on whatever name is in the news that day. I have had Bill (Clinton), Hillary (Clinton), (Kenneth) Star, (micro)Chip, (Samuel) Dash, Yassir (Arafat), and (Yassir) Arafat. We now welcome Memo.
It was either name it after Hurricane Dennis or after the newly leaked UK memo about US troop pull-outs. And memo sounded like a much better name for a girl hamster.
Memo's new home.

Dash never liked to chew on chew sticks of any kind. But when going
through the lego bucket I did find this:
Did I mention that legos are non-toxic?
For a long time Dash was growing a unicorn horn. About 5 months
later it vanished. But here it is for your viewing pleasure.
