The story of the little hamster family. They were gifts given to me by a close friend, she wanted me to keep it and take care of it. I was a willing care taker and would love to take care of those little babies. It was a Mom, a Dad and three little babies! They were so cute and adorable. I gave them two homes, the dad with all the boys and the Mom on her own cage. I was told not to mix them or else the Mom could get pregnant again, I was very careful at that. I enjoyed taking care of them, my younger brother helped me with them too. We give them nice baths and showers, making sure their cage is clean, nice and comfortable. We made them playgrounds they can play and made sure they got their water supply always at full.
One day I decided to give them a nice bubble bath, so I made this cutie little tub 🛀 for them to swim. I intended for the daddy and the babies to play in the tub. I saw their cages were getting messy, I decided to keep it tidy. I placed the Mom in the sink and placed some food, while I was cleaning her cage. Then it was time for the Dads cage to get cleaned, I took him out of the cage and placed him in the sink. I took the babies and moved them to the Moms cage temporarily while I cleared the cage. Whistling while I worked, everyone was fine, I played some music too for good feels. Since both cages are clean, I put the Mom back in her cage with the babies, then I placed the Dad in that little bubble bath I prepared. The water was not to high, just maybe waist line high and bubbly, it smelled really nice, it was prefect so they can relax. Turned my back for a second, went to check on the babies so I can add them to the tub, picked one up and to my surprise, when I looked at the little tub, the Daddy is not there. I suspected he jumped out but I can't find him anywhere in the bathroom. Then it crossed my mind, oh my goodness! Could he be under the bubbles? Lo and behold, i found him there, under I got him out of the water. I laid him on the towel and checked for breathing. Imagine this tiny little hamster, he might have drank soapy bubbly water, so I tried to resuscitate him by doing a little cpr. I know how bad it was, it was terrible to watch him die, but I had to do what I needed to do. In my head, CPR should work for even these tiny little ones. I gave his heart a little pump using my finger, then blowed thru his open mouth. No response. Oh my God, I accidentally killed him. I was terrified to realize that. It broke my heart. I tried several times to revive him but then the attempts have failed. He laid there motionless. I'm sorry buddy, Rest In Peace. After that incident, no more bubble baths for the rest of them. It was a sad thought that their father died. I still placed the Mom is her own cage and the babies since they were all male, I separated them from their mother. The mom started to have some kind of angst issues, she also seemed to gain a lot more weight. I started to worry she would pass away too and be depressed. But surprisingly, I noticed the mother started to hide behind some piles of paper in her cage so I decided to clean it that following week. To my surprise, she had 5 newborn babies hiding behind that pile! Oh my goodness! Wow! Who would have thought, that same day I left the Mom and the Dad for a few minutes together in the sink and he got her pregnant? I could not even explain how that happened but she definitely got pregnant and even after losing her husband, she gained 5 more babies. I then have one Mom, 3 older brothers, 5 new babies! It was a riot, but never did I ever let them go swimming on a bubble bath again, just to be safe.
