Well, Goki the first has already been banished from the happy little pink and purple kingdom. (The above picture is Goki in time-out.) He (or she) just wouldn't stop attacking Luva. Granted, Luva is a complete whiny pushover, so it didn't take much, but still...I don't really want my four year old daughter to be witness to bloody murder.
I went back this morning to Ye Olde Pet Shoppe and returned Goki the first. Goki the second came home with us today. She looks much more like Luva in size and coloring. When she first came over to sniff Luva, the little cry-baby rolled over on her back and squeaked even though she hadn't even been touched. Either she's already become a life-long victim, and there's no hope, or the two will get along. I know this, though. If they start fighting viciously it'll be Luva I'll take back this time. Some people are just asking for it, you know? And maybe some hamsters are too.

Who knew some hamsters are just more sensitive? :)
Maybe a hamster therapist?
Maybe you need a Bobo.
I'm going to learn these lessons from you. Thanks for sharing!
Shouldn't Ye Olde Pet Shoppe be able to tell you if they are male or female?
Goki? Luva? What--are these pets being named by George Lucas or something? They're like Jedi hamsters.
Like Lovely Wife's Bheta fish (or however you spell that). They eat everything not themselves and so he lives in his own separate watery domain.
Ok. I wasn't going to be the one to say it, but I had to come back and say it anyway.
She's a Luva, not a Fighta!
