![]() ![]() In 2011, we decorated Mambo’s cage during Christmas. We were always tickled by Mambo’s ‘kungfu moves’! I was alone at home and spent some time playing with Mambo. This two videos were taken on 17 November 2012 evening. He didn’t bleed anymore for a long time after that day. We weren’t sure what happened and attributed it to him eating too many sunflower seeds. I think it was in October 2012, when we first found little traces of blood on Mambo’s bedding and he looked unwell. I’m also glad that I bought the cottony blanket for him when I caught sight of it at Pet Lovers because Mambo clearly loved it very much! He was found snuggling in it most of the time :)) Here’s a video of Mambo munching away happily! We had also given him other special treats such as cheese cubes, donuts and pudding from the Pet Lovers stores. We also introduced dried mealworms into his diet after my friends Shi Jie and Joslyn told me that their hamsters loveeeeee mealworms! Really glad that Mambo loved them too. Sometimes Mambo could get quite lazy! Hahaha.Ĭlearly enjoying his frequent well-deserved back massages from us.Īpart from his favorite sunflower seeds, Mambo also loved eating his Vitamin C! We just had to wave it in front of him and he would come and snatch it away from our fingers. We found it hard to stroke him because he often ran off in fright. When Mambo was younger, he used to be afraid of us too. On a few other occasions when we just wanted to kajiao him, we placed the log far away from his cage □ Seems like home is still the best place to be! Here’s something else we found highly amusing! We wanted to let Mambo ‘see the world’ outside his home and let him out one evening but he scurried round and round his cage and finally climbed up his log and fell back in. My bro liked to carry Mambo and sayang him on his head but our poor friend doesnt seem to enjoy it! He surprised us once when we found him curled up in a ball when we lifted up his log! A□ But of course, he woke up about 5 seconds later with a blur look. Mambo was a light sleeper because every time we opened his cage, he would scurry out of his log or playground with half-closed sleepy eyes. Hehehe.Įvery now and then, we would find him sleeping comfortably sandwiched between this cage and log and it never fails to amuse us. Here are some of my favorite shots of Mambo, mostly taken by my mobile devices. I feel very sorry for him, even till today. We could sense that Mambo was agitated when he could not find his brother and he ate very little for a couple of days. We felt really sad, and at the same time, pitied Mambo. An unfortunate incident happened and Jumbo left when he was around 5 months old. They did everything together and never fought. They ate together, ran the wheel together, slept next to each other. This video was taken by misterchewy, when Mambo and Jumbo were about one month old. Both of them also passed away at this very spot. Mambo and Jumbo liked to sleep at this spot of the playground too. We were quite amused that Mambo and Jumbo could sleep in the most awkward spaces. Jumbo was slightly bigger in size, and he was more timid as compared to Mambo. My mum and bro came up with the names ‘Mambo’ and ‘Jumbo’ for them. They were part of a sibling group given by my brother’s friend, Abel. On the night of 10 June 2011, two little hamsters about 3 weeks old arrived at our place. Misterchewy and I even have a hashtag #mambotherobo for all photos of him on Instagram even though there are not many □ I have selected some photos taken within this period of 1 year 7 months from our DSLR, iPhone and iPad. This post is written in remembrance of Mambo and his brother Jumbo, who passed away when he was 5 months old. ![]() My mum even prepared his breakfast before ours every morning. We really love him and treat him as part of our family. He had brought so much joy and laughter to everyone of us. ![]() We will always remember Mambo’s cute and innocent-looking little face and his big round eyes which made our hearts melt every single time we looked at him. As I’m typing this, Mambo had already left us for more than 24 hours but I can’t control my tears each time I think about him :'( This post is the toughest to write so far. I really don’t know how and where to begin. My regular readers and followers would have read about Mambo through my previous posts. This blog post is dedicated to our dearest Roborovksi hamster, Mambo, who passed away on 14 January 2013 (Monday) sometime between 8am to 3pm. ![]()
