Hamoo

I want to get a fat and lazy hamster who's like Hamoo from the past.
Hamoo aka MooMoo aka YongPhai ( yes I named my pet after him) was put down when I was 16, his tumor burst and there was this huge cavernous hole at his side.
He was seriously the cutest and best hamster I ever had.
I could disturb him, squish him even when he was sleeping and he wouldn't even respond.
He just loves to sleep and have sex with his daughter ( which is very disturbing so I separate them).
One of the top 3 pets I'll remember having in my life. Such hamsters are hard to come by and he was trained since he was baby to be lazy about everything anyway.
His life as a child was highly stressful, Amutha would bring him to school everyday and all these 15 year old girls would swarm to him, pick him up, pet him, disturb him when he was sleeping. He was constantly in the cage that Amu would carry, his world was constantly swinging left to right.
Crazy girls who would pick him up and squish him even if he was sleeping.
Soon enough, he managed to realise that the girls/humans mean not harm, they just want to squish him. So he stopped responding. Instead, he would lift his head up look around for a bit and fall back asleep.
Or he would rest so comfortably in your hand with sleepy half opened eyes.

When I became his owner, he never bit me. Not once. He was fat and so bloody cute. He would rest his face against plastic walls of the cage with his mouth opened. It was a very funny sight and reminded me of those kids who pressed their faces against glass. He would rest so comfortably that his mouth would drag across the plastic wall he was leaning on.

I spent a lot of money on him of course. His bedding was expensive, not cheap sawdust. it was recycled grey colour little thingums. I spent about 100 bucks on him at the vet. Spent a bit on snacks and toys.
( most of his toys were recycled materials though. Like the classic toilet paper roll.)
He was like a fat man who just liked lazing around.

Just like Timbie and Fighty, he was great.
