The internet was made for this: Admissions of celebrity pet parenting problems.
Model Chrissy Teigen and her daughter, Luna, who is almost three, brought home a hamster Sunday. Teigen’s husband, singer John Legend, wasn’t exactly over the moon.
But Luna is. And, Teigen, seems to be smitten.
The learning curve is steep — and frankly, hilarious.
Luna and I bought a hamster today. Her name is peanut butter. John is not thrilled, which makes me love her more.

What to feed it.
They told us we can feed her anything. My mom said “rice?” And they go “no, not rice”

Does it even know how to feed itself?
I feel like she doesn’t know how to drink out of her hamster drink thing. I keep showing her and i am starting to feel dumb

The tough part of not petting a pet.
They also said “don’t really touch her for a week. Then touch her a lot or she’ll bite you” it’s very confusing, being a hamster mom

Building relationships.
I said “should I get two so they can have a friend?” And the lady said no, one will end up with a lot of bully scars. So any hamster tips are welcome

Showing off the new family member.
I just went to take a picture of her and I honestly can’t find her

And the panic that is part of pet parenting.

The reassurance.
EVERYTHING IS FINE.
Please don’t feel bad for her. We got her everything and more and a giant space to roam in. If I had a safe enclosure for a hamster farm, i would have that.

Godspeed, little Peanut Butter.
Social media, at least, is rooting for you.
