Hello, this is Junior again. I am a very old hamster, having lived with my friend Ausone for two years and four months by now. In fact, I am equivalent to a 75-year old man if I were a human being. However, you cannot see it from my face, even though you compare with photos taken for me two years ago. This is because unlike human beings we hamsters do not have any wickedness in our hearts and so our faces will not get uglier as we grow old.
Yet I feel the impact of old age in spite of my always handsome and lovely face. My forearms are weak and I can no longer climb to the upper level of the hamster house. Now I mainly play with a paper roll placed in a corner at the lower level, just beside my tree trunk. I love chewing it and scratching it. When I was younger I could finish off two rolls in a week, but now one is usually enough. I get tired easily and sometimes will sleep with my body inside. It will look like a spring-roll dim sum.
With the very hot weather warning being in force for days on end, I come out of the tree trunk to get some breeze. I often stay at this favorite corner of mine. See how I gather litter bedding at this corner, making it soft and nice to sleep on.
