RIP Lucy :(

We are sad to say that a month ago we discovered a large growth in Lucy's right hand cheek pouch and is was so bad that she couldn't even align her front teeth together.  She was such a little angel and tried to hide the pain but we decided to have her put to sleep.

Goodbye Lucy you were the most gentle hamster we were lucky enough to love. X

Healthy ham

 

I just love Rocket, it tastes so bitter and yummy crunchy leaves that I can't resist.  As you can see my head is a blurr with munching motion.

What do you love nibbling on?

London 2012 Olympics

Wow what a month it has been, I have been following Team GB's successful Olympic campaign.  29 Gold in total and third in the overall standings very proud to be a British hamy at the moment.

I have been waving the patriotic flag as much as I can squeaking the atheletes on!  Wasn't super saturday so inspiring with Jessica Ennis, Greg Rutherford and Mo Farah winning three golds in 45 minutes.  Andy Murray winning gold in the tennis too.

I'm all set for the paralympic which begin on Wednesday.

GO TEAM GB!

Searching for snacks

Mummy feeds me lots of food and treats but sometime I feel like going on an adventure to find some of my own.

Oops you caught me nibbling on something, best conceal the evidence.  N*****g to s*e h**e!

A comfy bed for the night/afternoon

If you look closely you can see that I have found a piece of sawdust to use as by bedding.  i amd very careful to select the softest wood to curl up in.

Wow after all that hard work I think that it's time for an afternoon snooze.

I gnaw what I've been up to

I like to keep my teeth nice and strong by nibbling and knawing at things. Look at what I've done to the tube. I do prefer gnawing the wood blocks that mummy provides, guess curiosity kept getting the better of me, after all I do have a short term memory.

I like to keep my teeth nice an............

Oh there I go again :)

Noogie

Thumb messages on the head feel so good, it even stops me from doing my most favourite activity, eating.

Diggy dig dig

Well what have we here? I know I buried a stash of sunflower seeds here somewhere....

Hmmm not here, maybe in the other corner. I can taste them now, gnawing away at the crunchy seed skin to get at the juicy treat inside.... ooh heaven.

Can I come out yet?

Last night I heard a loud noise and I was so afraid that I ran into my house.

Do you think it's safe to come out yet?

Lucy :S

Mirror mirror on the wall....

Can you tell the difference in mirrored me and original me?

Fur-ensics

As you can all see I am a long haired hamster. What's interesting is that throughout my life different areas on by furry body grow extra long. When I was young I had very long tail hair, and now the hair on my sides are super long. I don't know why this happens but it's like a pretty dress at the moment which is perfect for Spring.


This is a close up of my fur, can you see all the different shades of colour there are?

Wheel of fortune

To help challenge me, Mummy tied my favourite treat up so that it would move when I tried to grab it. That pesky doughnut was worth it though.
