Udon will going to my parent's home for CNY.

As I will be going for a 1 week holiday with my in laws, my sister had kindly help me to look after Udon during this epriod of Chinese New Year holidays.

I will be bringing her over tomorrow night and I had prepared a letter on behalf of Udon for my sister to let her better understand my little hammy's life and habits.

Dearest caregiver:

Gong Xi Fa Cai in advance! Thank you for help my sisty Edna to look after me for the next few days.

Just want to tell you how my daily life goes about so that you can care of me better and I can adjust to a new environment better!

Sleep

My beauty sleep is very important! Please do not disturb me when I'm sleeping and will wake up on my own. I usually wake up around 7.30pm to 8.30pm.

Food

Please feed me with 1 scoop of hamster mix, 6 to 8 pine nuts and 6 pieces of colourful biscuits for my daily consumption. Sometimes a small piece of fresh apple as an extra treat is fine for me too! I know it will be chinese new year, but please do not feed me with oranges or tangerines.

Play

I am a very active hamster and sisty Edna will let me free roam in her study everyday. She told me that your home has many hiding areas. Although I am very excited about those hidden corners, she told me that these places are very dangerous for me and insisted that I must bring along my hamster ball if I want to run around for my daily excercise.

I'm a vain hamster. To go out, it is very important for me to groom myself 1st. You will need to wait for me to complete my self groom before I'm willing to go out.

Please remember to let me excercise, if not I will bite my cage persistently until you let me free! If you see me waiting near the cage door, I mean that I want to go out and play!

When I'm out, remember to put me back every 15min to 30 mins after each run to let me have a drink and pee.

Pee

I'm a toilet trained hamster and I know where to should pee. I have a pretty pink toilet containing the sand which will clump up me pee. Kindly pick up the clumps every day with my toilet scoop provided.

Handling

Please handle me with care. Please to not pull me by my skin. Pick me up with my body and land my 4 legs on 2 palms.

My daily timetable

This is how my everyday life goes about:

Morning to evening: Sleep

evening (~6.30pm): Sisty Edna will clear my clump sand, clear my left overfood, refill new food and make sure there is enough drinking water.

7.30pm to 8.30pm: Wake up time

After wake up: Food time

After food: Self groom time

After Self groom: Play time (`~1h with toilet breaks in between)

After play time: Return to cage

Hope that we will have a great time together.

With love,

Udon

P.S. 16 February is my birthday. Can u sing a birthday song to me?

Although I have written this letter, I am still very worried that Udon could not adjust well and will definitely miss a lot!
