More hammie pics!

This is my favoutite pic of her, she looks like a rabbit!

She loves her ball, i put her in it for about 5 minutes at a time, a couple of times a day

She spends about three hours solid on her wheel thing though

 

[Bloo]

Ahhh the cuteness - shes looks like a "gunhamster" (as opposed to gundog) in that last pic

Yeah, my hamsters spent hours and hours in their wheels but then again, what else do they have to do (oh apart from rattlling the cage door and swining around like Tarzan ? Just imagine what goes through their little minds on that wheel ! (probably not much:truth be told).

She so cute, yes the wheel why is it soon as you stepped in bed the hamster decides to go on it's wheel and keep you awake,lol, that ball that you put them in had the exact same one it made me dizzy watching them in it, plus they bang into everything.

I love the pic of her in her wheel holding onto her dish, need to enter one for the pet of the month.

 

[OohFeeshy]

Aww, she looks like a female version of one I used to have She's very cute, although I'd reccomend a bigger wheel, I got rid of all the ones that came with the cages and got bigger ones from Pets @ Home, they can't really enjoy running bent double

@ Gunhamster!! Bless her!!

She's on her wheel again now. It didn't squeek at all when she first started using it but she's on it so much that it seems to have developed a squeek... And yeah, i thought the wheel was too small too. It came with the cage and the people at the shop assured me it was big enough. I'll get her a new one on the way back from uni tomorrow as i have to drive past pets at home anyway!

A squeaky wheel can be silenced by adding a
drop of olive oil to the spindal.

Absolutely ! Though I would also add that you should wipe all excess off. I know your hamster isn't long hair, but should you ever get one, I found it can turn into quite a mess if the long hair gets entangled in the spindle bit and the oil acts as glue A couple of times I've found hamsters just sitting quite forlornly waiting for aid, as their hair was entangled in the spine of the wheel.

 

[WILDER]

I've added her to my desktop hope you don't mind, she so adorable.

 

[Jessica13]

I dont mind at all Wilder


Ooh, bought Esmarelda a new wheel yesterday. It is huge, but it was all they had. She loves it. It was REALLY squeeky though so i put some oil on it and it works!! She was on it til about 4am today
Bless..

 

[Bloo]

ahhhh that's much better for her little back !

 

[Jessica13]

She seems much happier in it, she goes faster and just looks sooo cute!

I think its worn her out though, she hasn't woken up yet today, not even to eat! I poked her to make sure she's alive and she rolled on her back for a belly scratch

 

[BrookeLea]

Awwww she makes me miss my hamster! If it weren't for that heart-stopping crash that I would hear all too often in the middle of the night when my cat knocked the cage over, I'd run out right now and go get one!

 

[RandomWiktor]

Aww! Very cute! I've never been a fan of hamsters - very bitey, but probably due to poor breeding/handling more than their own faults, poor little guys. That one looks like a doll though, and since you seem to have a knack for animal handling, I'm sure she'll be the sweetest little hammie in the world ^^ Very cute. For a moment I thought it was going to be another parrot, and I was going to reccomend a "parrotholics" support group.

Im sticking with the 5 birds i have for the moment. If i get too many i wont have enough room left for my greenwing or scarlet macaw in the future!

But yeah, i thought hamsters were evil, and this was was at first, but she's really sweet now. She doesn't bite at all and loves coming out of her cage. Im paranoid my dogs might eat her though so she's only ever really out in her ball - With the dogs locked away!

And my dog knocked the cage over a couple of days ago I'd literally left my room for 30 seconds to get my bird and she came in and tried to open the cage Thankfully it only fell on my bed and the hamster barely noticed
