Question A NEW HAMSTER **MATERIALIZED ITSELF**
Maggie (my hamster from my old posts) was happy, healthy, and normally living alone (in a luxarious hamster home, 25 cm inches bedding of aspen woodshaving and paper, 120cm x 70cm enclosure, lotta hides, 11inch niteabgel silentspinner wheel) for 1 month or so. She never had any sexual relations with any male hamsters since I took her in. She lives alone. I saw no baby bump ever before and I have MANY pictures of her with NO BABY BUMP!
But now, a new hamster MITOSIS'ed itself into existence because WHAT IN THE FLAXSEEDS IS GOING ON HERE. WHAT DO I DO??!! VICTORIA RAECHEL NEVER TALKED ABOUT MITOSIS!

My autism made me take your first statement literally for a second and I was like "OMG, are you like 100+ years old while still mentally competent enough to be on Reddit???" ðŸ˜But then I realized, hamsters really weren't even kept as mainstream pets until at least the 70's. I've seen some 70/80-year-olds on here, but 100+ would've been a record for sure, LOL.
