Paper and me#
Paper and I met through Ceylan's Discord community. We've been together since 7 August 2025, and we're now both in Australia for university — same campus, shared room, daily routine. The Timeline tracks the days since 7 Aug 2025.

The guinea pigs#
Hash Brown#
In memory · 24 June 2025 — 20 March 2026, 06:43 (Melbourne time)
We lost Hash Brown after she chewed and ingested part of a plastic urine pad. She didn't make it through the morning.
What we'll remember:
- Sprinting laps inside her cage and constantly rearranging her hideouts
- The "515151" squeak the moment the fridge door clicked
- Bell peppers, corn silk, pellets
Potato#
Born 27 July 2025. A dark-brown Teddy — brave, curious, and always hungry.
- Often naps buried in oat hay, then keeps eating after she wakes up
- Eats while half-asleep
- Favourite snacks: bell peppers, corn silk
Peanut#
Born 27 July 2025 — same day as Potato.
Peanut's pups#
All three born 7 May 2026 — one boy and two girls. Names pending; each has their own counter on the timeline.
