She's a little cracker of gorgeousness, that little inquisitive face melts my heart.

Lovely to see Marti exploring the armchair - she looks so adorable and her coat looks so glossy!

Aww, Marti truly looks right at home in the comfy armchair! Does she ever press the "PRESS TO PLAY" button on your stuffed animals? Eros loves to do that on mine, and she is always so thrilled to see what happens next, lol. As always, Marti looks absolutely stunning and gorgeous in all of her pics.

Thank you, beautiful Dreamtree! It was 5:26 am when you posted, but it’s still the morning of the 14th, and Marti was probably even awake at the time. She’s sleeping now, but once she wakes up, we’ll have a little party and make sure to take lots of photos to upload them here!

That sounds wonderful!!!! She is probably having the sweetest dreams of all the exciting and fun things that you have in store for her when she wakes up. Have a terrific day together, and I'll look forward to seeing her beautiful pics.

Hello to everyone who still remembers us. Marti and I are so sorry that we once again abandoned this wonderful community, but we want to fix it!

Prince Lemon's passing hit me a bit too hard, making me go paranoid over Marti's wellbeing, so I mostly just doted on her instead of having fun and taking pictures. Then my finals also arrived and life just got hectic.

Anyway, Marti is doing fine, thank god. Actually, the strange thing is, she kinda got more active since Lemon's passing. It's as if she absorbed his unspent energy and recharged her batteries. Even when we just came back from burying Lemon, Marti was running around her cage, keeping herself busy and giving us worried glances. Maybe she wanted to distract us?

I keep thinking what to do with Lemon's cage. It just sits empty for now, as I'm not ready to take another hamster, since we also have a chinchilla now, but my mom and I are planning to but a country house, so I will probably just take the cage there to use as Marti's country residence.

Marti keeps surprising me with her weather predictions. A couple weeks ago she just suddenly changed her nest (in which she lived all her life) to the place she slept in the first couple days after we just got her, before we purchased her a hideout. She buried herself in her carefresh bedding and refused to nest in her previous place, even changing the place she took her treats too. Then, a couple days later a pretty strong rain happened and she just moved back as if nothing happened. It's as if she could feel the rain and chose to move to the safer place. Actually, she always go crazy with her bedding before string rain, so we use her to check the weather. It's more reliable than any other weather forecast, anyway.

Also, Marti seems in love with our new chinchilla. She sometimes sits in the place she can see his cage from and just looks at him. It's very funny.

So, here are some photos from Marti checking my mom's calendar and to do list.







Having a snack


"Is it bigger on the inside?"






And since I already mentioned him a couple times, here are some photos of our newest family member - Noir the chinchilla. He was my birthday present, and he is just an adorable little grumpy furball. If you'd like, I could create him a separate thread.

This is him when we just got him. So small and kinda greyish instead of black.


In his custom made house


This is him now. As you can see, he became darker and fatter


So, now I'll go and try to catch up with your wondeful hammies' threads!

I'm so glad that you have decided to return to HC, Burakki; you and your little fluffies have been greatly missed. You are so silly for thinking that we could have forgotten you and your little Marti; you both are so unforgettable and truly cared for here. I totally understand needing some time away though after losing your beloved Prince Lemon a few months ago. He was a really loved ham here on HC, too, and he is definitely greatly missed by all of us who got to know him through his wonderful thread. I hope that your finals went well; I'm sure they did.

I'm glad that your gorgeous Marty and extra fluffy Noir were able to help you heal your broken heart. Having a loved one to care for and cuddle and play with truly does help. Marty probably had become more active once again in order to distract you, and I send her an extra HUGE cuddle for taking such excellent care of her amazing Mum. She is a real sweetheart and it is so wonderful to see her precious face again. I love all of her latest pics and had to laugh that she is now your weather forecaster, lol. That is so awesome!!! It also make me smile to see her inspecting the little call box, too. She is so cute and inquisitive. I hope that you, your Mum, and your two fluffies enjoy your new country home. That sounds wonderful.

I am also extremely thrilled to finally see this magnificent, little chinchilla that you have mentioned in your threads. He is totally adorable and I'm already totally in love with him. He is truly too cute for words, and I love his great pics. Of course, his expressions just make me get all giddy and happy feeling. I just can't get enough of him and would TOTALLY LOVE it if you create a thread for him, too. I will most definitely be thrilled to see any updates and pics of this cutie pie. I love chinchillas and had considered getting one, but I'm way too busy with my three fluffies to get one at the moment. Btw, I love his name, too. It really fits him so perfectly.

Good to see that Martina is as golden and lovely as always.

Congrats on your chinchilla!!! I used to have one. He loved sand baths. I am told that they are big chewers and need unlimited hay like rabbits and guinea pigs. I rehomed mine after a while as I went off travelling. A long time ago now!

dreamtree, thanks so much for your reply. It melts my heart to read your kind words. Thank you for not forgetting us, both Marti and I feel really touched. I’m sure Lemon also sends his whisker kisses to you from the rainbow bridge.

My finals went well, thanks! Now I only have a year left before I finally get my masters degree!

Marti indeed is a wonder, with her newfound energy. She really amazes us and does not allow us to get depressed. She and Noir now play a game called “Who manages to attract attention and be let out for playtime first?”. The rules are simple: climb your bars and make sad eyes. Who does it first wins. Unfortunately for Marti, Noir usually is the first one but she tries very hard to win every time. I’ll read all your kind words to her, I’m sure she’ll blush from all these compliments but will be really honored!

I’m really glad that you like Noir, he’s a total sweetheart (though a little bit crazy), I’ll make sure to create a thread just for him. He has plenty stories to tell, as he’s my personal little Indiana Jones with his love for adventures. My mom always scolds him for chewing on her stuff, but you just can’t stay mad at him for too long.

It’s so cool that you also considered to get a chin too. I actually considered getting a guinea pig, especially after all your gorgeous Snickers’ photos, but my mom didn’t like the idea of such a big cage, so chinchilla was a better choice, since their cages are vertical and take up less floor space. Also, chinchillas are more suitable for people with allergies, and since my mom is allergic to most pets, we decided to play it safe. I can’t be happier about my sweet Noir, but I hope to get a piggie too someday.

Flowerfairy, Marti is happy to back!

Thank you for congratulations! They do indeed chew a lot, much more than hamsters. And yes, they do need unlimited hay, but the rate of its consumption kinda varies. Sometimes Noir eats all its hay tray in three days and sometimes he doesn’t touch it for a week. Sand baths are a favorite thing of all chins. Whenever Noir gets out of his cage, he always runs to his sandbath. I also used to have one when I was a teenager, and I also rehomed him when I went away for college. I’ll talk more about him once I create Noir’s personal thread.
