We decided to try and get Gel and Alysia to live together again. Gel looked very unhappy on her own and we thought it might work better now. There was no fighting this time around. Last time there was a lot of fighting but thankfully not much biting. If the fighting wasn't potentially serious, it might be comical, looking like a furry version of cartoon fighting.

We kept a close watch on them, having the cage in our room overnight so we could listen out for any fighting. Things have been ok for 2 nights now, and the two of them look happy together.

We used to refer to Gel as a little Hamster Nugget because she was chubbier than Ira and Zac. Alysia is even more 'nuggety' than Gel.
