Caleb's hamster Chief passed away this month. He was 2.5 years old which is pretty old for a hamster! Caleb took it pretty hard because Chief was his buddy and had helped him get through a lot of school anxiety issues.Playing with Chief always seemed to calm him down.
A couple weeks after Chief passed away Caleb asked for a new hamster. He had done such a good job taking care of Chief that we agreed that he could get a new hamster. We went to the pet store expecting to get one that was similar to Chief but the ones that were that breed were pretty skittish and didn't seem very friendly. Caleb held a bunch of them and he settled on one that was much larger and all black. He decided to name him Husker for the Husker blackshirts.
We took Husker home and soon discovered that not only was he a lot bigger he was more active. We ended up having to purchase a bigger cage and some tubes so that he had something to do.
