I found an abandoned little hamster 🐹 on the street.
He was running around on the road, which was super dangerous.
I picked him up and decided to take him home.
He's tiny and so cute ✨.
I fed him some food.
He seemed to really like me too.
He fell asleep, and his belly is so soft.
The next day, I gave him a bath.
After the bath, he lay right on my hand.
He couldn't wait to get something to eat.
His little mouth can hold a ton of food.
I played with him.
He's really good at climbing.
He crawls all over the place every single day.
Vegetables are totally essential for him.
I bought him a little hamster bed.
He does handstands on the cage bars.
I think we're already family now.
