An “extremely chill” hamster in a miniature bed has taken the internet by storm.
Chip’s owner Amberly Dzimira, 16, said they “do everything together” since she bought the little bed for him – ranging from watching Netflix to eating and even helping out with her high school work.
Amberly only bought Chip on January 2, but he’s already a star, notching up hundreds of thousands of shares on Twitter since she posted photos of him in his bed at the end of the month.
“I was asking my parents for a hamster for months and I eventually made a Powerpoint presentation about why I would be a great hamster mommy,” Amberly, from Plainfield, Illinois, told the Press Association.
“When I first got home with the bed I placed Chip in it, I expected him to run out of it or even chew it up, but instead he curled up and slept in it for a while.
“Now every day when I wake up I put him in his bed and he watches me do my makeup and then I put him back in his cage to sleep for the day,” said Amberly.
“When I get home from school/work (I work four days a week at a nursing home) I let him out and put him in his bed and he sits on my desk while I do homework.”
“Chip has always been extremely chill and happily stays in his bed,” said Amberly. “Most of the time he just stares at me and watches whatever I’m doing, but sometimes he will sleep in his bed as well.”
