Viggy and I used to enjoy watching movies, almost everyday. He loved to act during his “free time” – as if hamsters went to work, right? In addition, he would ask me to play one of his favourite movies, for him to watch and practice. I would make popcorn and prepare the movie, while he would get his igloo ready and grab some snacks. Here’s a list of his favourite movies.
