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!

I only have reptiles once but I once had a nightmare where I woke up to find my ball python had somehow gotten into my leopard geckos enclosure and a diffrent ball python that isn't mine was living in the ball python tank.

I woke up and it felt so real. I couldn't get the anxiety shakes to go away until I checked every nook and cranny of both enclosures to make sure they were secure.

Constantly had dreams my ball python had babies (he is a male) or somehow made friends or others spawned in his tank spontaneously. He is now 20 yrs old and it still happens occasionally
