My Beautiful Little Hammy

She’s beautiful 😊. I especially love the second to last photo.
 
Thank you. It took about 2 to 3 months to tame her. Now I can handle her without being bitten. Her cage is in the same room as me. She doesn't keep me awake. We're used to each others movements. What I like best of all, is when I'm getting ready for bed, she's not normally up. But by the time I come back from the bathroom, she's waiting for me at her cage gate, for what I call her little goodnight cuddle.
 
Is she a big girl? Some female hamsters are.
 
No she's not big. I know some can be. But I think that's down to all the exercise she gets running on her wheel at night. She certainly puts in some miles. She has a 12 inch silent wheel, and I've been thinking about upgrading it to one with a mileometer on it.
 
Yes, she certainly is. Hammy has given me many hours of pleasure and happiness with her antics. Being single, she keeps me happy. I love talking to her, and watching her as she goes about her day. She had her first visit to a vet for a nail trim back in May, which I was a little bit worried about. But she handled it well, so I treated her to a new wheel and hammock.
 
Syrians are very affectionate and love interaction, although it can take a while to get them to trust hands ❤️

In the early days, she used to nip me quite often. But she's grown out of that. As you say, Syrians are affectionate. Sometimes I wonder who has tamed who. She certainly knows how to get my attention.
 
Oh they definitely try to train us to do what they want ha ha. I also think they are great communicators. And can be sneaky! I had one who used to give me this look while sitting in front of his veg dish as if to say - you've forgotten my veg and I want it. I took the signal immediately and got another tiny piece of veg. I thought I had already put it out but thought - maybe I didn't - maybe I'm remembering yesterday. Five minutes later he was doing the same thing again! Now I knew I definitely put the veg out that time, so he was just trying it on for some extra!
