Tragically, Bean 1 passed away on February 10. He died as a result of a hamster disease called wet tail, and will be missed. We suspect that he had been exposed to the disease at Petco before we brought him home, as he had been lethargic and incredibly quiet during his entire stay with us. On to a lighter note....
Here is my new hamster Bean 2! He is much more lively than Bean 1 and has already gotten out of the cage once. He is a long-haired syrian hamster and is very frisky! More pictures on my flickr:
