Nicholas was quite distraught over the loss of Gerby. When he was initially informed of Gerby's passing, the only thing he said was "Awww!" Immediately followed by, "Can I still play on the computer?" But as time progressed, the reality hit him and he was very sad to lose his little friend.
The sadness intensified the next morning when he discovered Gerby's babies had died as well. He requested that we go back to the pet store to get another hamster friend for him. He went and picked out another hamster. (We can only hope that this one isn't pregnant and is indeed a boy.!It is hard to tell the sex. They almost look like they have both parts.) "Panda" is a Panda Bear Hamster and he is very sweet. He enjoys crawling all over Nicholas and tolerates Nicholas' handling better than Gerby did (perhaps because she was pregnant). He is very cuddly with me and likes to curl up in my hands and fall asleep. Nicholas is definitely enjoying the adventures that he and Panda are able to have now.

They are called Panda Hamsters because of their resemblance to a Panda Bear
