We left off, when Lucy's bedroom needed her weekly cleanup.
After she entered her newly cleaned bedroom,
she started decorating:

Lucy's Bedroom Clean

Lucy's bedroom needed her weekly cleanup.
So after I got the cleaned bedroom ready (I own two of them),
I made the ' Switch ':

Lucy's weight ...

Being a bit concerned about Lucy's puffyness...
I got out my new digital kitchen scale,
to (finally) determine Lucy's weight...


My awesome new kitchen scale with digitally controlled analogue readout as well as a full digital readout !
" My awesome new kitchen scale with
digitally controlled analogue readout
as well as a full digital readout !
" - Mathijs


It's supposingly accurate to 1 gram!


Weighing my hamster Lucy: 200 GRAMS !
" 200 GRAMS ??? " - Mathijs


I did a similar experiment on february 2, 2006 - day 231 with Lucy2.0...

Flashback mode ...



Picture of the weight of Lucy's Explorer ball.
" The setup WITHOUT Lucy " - Mathijs

Picture of the weight of Lucy and her Explorer ball.
" Lucy2.0's weight is: 313 grams - 189 = 124 grams " - Mathijs

Wow...

Lucy3.0 is (( 200 - 124 ) / 124 ) * 100% = 61 % heavier than Lucy2.0
(although Lucy2.0 was approx. one third of Lucy3.0 age).


Lucy's daily treat has been switched to a small piece of apple
or Parsley... (since a quite a few days...)

Parsley servin' for Lucy

You may remember that I bought a Parsley-plant for Lucy.
( See: Thursday, March 12, day 623 below ).
I have been serving Lucy a 'flower' or two these last few days.
Finally we came around to document this wonderfull event:


My hamster Lucy gets served a nice portion of Parsley!
" Lucy prefers to being served personally,
instead of picking the other 'flower' from the cage-floor.
(which was also washed, btw...)
" - HamsterTracker™-Observational Dept.


My hamster Lucy gets served a nice portion of Parsley!
" Is this the Dutch kind ? " - Lucy


My hamster Lucy gets served a nice portion of Parsley!
" I am not sure ... needs some tastin' ... " - Lucy

" Whoooo.... I am the GREEN-TEETHED MONSTER ... " - Lucy

Is the Parsley okay, Lucy ?

Is what I asked ...


My hamster Lucy gets served a nice portion of Parsley!
" I Dun'no...
It was a bit small ...
Have you got another sample for me, Dude ? ...
" - Lucy


Ofcourse; I quickly picked up the other one ...
that was devoured in record time !

for Lucy to check it all out :

Lucy's Mansion-Expansion

Regulars know that Lucy has been abusing her Meditation-Room
as a Bathroom (yuck, yuck and triple yuck ! ).


Lucy does have a well maintained Bathroom
so I thought I'd make it a bit more of a challenge
for Lucy, to abuse her Meditation-Room...


So here's what I came up with :


My hamster Lucy's new cage setup; an all new way to the 'Meditation-Room'.
" Lucy can't make a drop of more than 5 cm (2 inches) with this setup! " - Mathijs


My hamster Lucy's new cage setup; an all new way to the 'Meditation-Room'.
" Lucy hardly noticed a thing while I installed it ! " - Mathijs


[ " Please Note: Lucy's ZZZZzzz-ing in her Bedroom " - HamsterTracker™-Observation Dept. ]


My hamster Lucy's new cage setup; an all new way to the 'Meditation-Room'.
" To entice her to actually check it out (at least once).
There are 'pillow-treats'!
" - Mathijs


I've also setup Webcam (no. 6) to record the Meditation-room!


To Be Continued ...

Lucy's calling

It has been a little while since Lucy has been so clear and direct:


My hamster Lucy calling the shots.
" Duuuuuuude ... ! " - Lucy


After I opened Lucy's 'front-door',
she practically 'jumped' into my hand.
So we went to do some more couch exploring:


My hamster Lucy calling the shots.
" Tough Sudoku ... 3 there ... 9 should then go there ... " - Lucy


My hamster Lucy calling the shots.
" Have you got a pen for me, Dude ? " - Lucy


(This was a Pine-Seed free Post !)


Lucy didn't even ask for one (or two or three)...


And she did solve the puzzle ( with a little help ) !

in my hand,
as a second offer to Lucy:


Servin' my hamster Lucy her favorite treat.
" Wait a minute Dude, I'm still chompin' this one ... " - Lucy


Lucy pouched that last one too !

Long-Time visiting HamsterTracker™-Supporters,
know that I keep track of my two Daffodils in the front garden.


It was pretty cold outside lately at the HamsterTracker™-Headquarters,
so it took a while for them to open.
The following photograph was shot TODAY,
after staking out ALL night, for them to open:

Friday, chores-day / -evening ...

This morning when I checked up on Lucy,
I did notice that Lucy's bedroom wasn't up to par.


Lucy was in deep-sleep ...
when I put a Pine-Seed (or three) into the main quarters.


This DID wake Lucy,
only minutes later she came out of her bedroom.


I offered some extra Pine-Seeds,
while cuddlin',
and noticing that Lucy was starting to smell a bit 'moldy',
that's generally a sign that some major cage-clean should be done!


So this evening ...
I started prepping ...


Friday; chores-day / -evening with my hamster Lucy.
" The HamsterTracker™-Cage Clean Department,
was unfortunately off to a course called:
'Actually Showing Up for Work',
so I did have the pleasure myself (again) ...
" - Mathijs


Friday; chores-day / -evening with my hamster Lucy.
" I've done the preps ...
Now I've only got to do the 'Magical Switch'
" - Mathijs


Friday; chores-day / -evening with my hamster Lucy.
" Dude, did you just move my bedroom into a huge container ??? " - Lucy


Friday; chores-day / -evening with my hamster Lucy.
" Sorry Lucy, I did (!), so I could prepare the above for you ! " - Lucy


It's hard to blame the HamsterTracker™-Cage Clean Dept. when there not around !


Within 5 minutes (I guess) Lucy was back in her quarters,
exploring her bedroom withing 2.24212 seconds (approx.):


Friday; chores-day / -evening with my hamster Lucy.
" Dude, don't tell me ...
I HAVE TO GET MY OWN PILLOW ...

I love it, that every time we meet,
especially when you accept my, gift-full treat !

A Restroom Story starring Lucy

HamsterTracker™-Regulars know that Lucy has been using her Meditation room,
as a restroom (or bathroom).


When I cleaned her Meditation room the last time,
I didn't include bedding or anything;
just to make it the most anoying experience for Lucy.
Hoping she would switch back to her (dedicated) restroom.

" As you can see, Lucy made her 'mistake' again ... " - Mathijs


and now ...

Lucy has been spotted ...

HamsterTracker™-'Milk & Cookies'

I was enjoying a glass of milk and a 'chocolate-chip-cookie',
when Lucy came out for her own drink.


This time I got the camera ready ...


HamsterTracker™-'Milk & Cookies' with my hamster Lucy.
" I am still having troubles getting the focus right on these kind of photographs ... " - Mathijs

Because I had something with my drink,
I thought it would be nice for Lucy to have a hamster treat;
a Vitakraft Raviolos, is what I offered her.


0.941 seconds later ... Lucy was gone,
leaving my hand empty ...
