New Video

Hamsters swapped

George is underwater, Scott is on land. As a note to the people who keep commenting, Blogspot doesn't let me comment for some weird reason. I hit comment, it refreshes the page and my comment isn't there. So don't feel like I'm ignoring you, I can see what you write, I just can't respond.

Anyway here's some video of George doing aquatic hamster stuff:

Scott has bunched everything over to one side.

No idea why. He's also built a little hamster hut out of the fluff. My first thought was, maybe the heater pad is broken? I brought the hab up to feel it, nope it's still working. Not really sure why he's doing this. Mysterious hamster reasons I guess.

Hamsters swapped, greenhab seeded

Scott is underwater, George is on land. I've also planted some grass seed in greenhab, it will be nice to get a fresh start now that I have a better idea of how frequently to water.

Hamsters swapped

Scott's back on land, now George is underwater.

Scott re-submerges

The windstorm appears well and truly over. I've put Scott back in the habitat and he's once again living the life aquatic. :3

Power outage

A severe windstorm afflicting Oregon, Washington and California knocked out power all day and well into the night yesterday. The battery backup air pump saved the day, for the second time (although it was the old pump before). This just goes to show the importance of making life-critical hardware multiply redundant. Scott is in the spare land cage. I'm waiting a day to make sure the windstorm bullshit is truly over before he re-submerges.
