Will this hamster make it in for a year in our house? The girls love to play with her and they put her in all kinds of containers, tin boxes and doll cars. She sometimes just falls asleep in the little space they give her. Once Monti came downstairs and told me she saved Annie’s life. The hamster had jumped or fallen from Dahlia’s cupped hands into the toilet. Monti sounded genuinely impressed when she said “Annie was a pretty good swimmer.” I am trying to control the time they spend with her more because I know they would be devastated if something awful was to happen to Annie on their watch.
