Mindy’s adventures

[Annette22]

Finally got some photos

I didn’t want to use camera light incase she got stressed by it so you can’t see her beautiful little face here. I assure you it is beautiful

I used to have a hamster with the same sort of colouring and it is really hard to get a good photo of a hamster with a black face.

The little ears are so sweet Welcome to the forum Mindy has lovely markings. It's very sweet how she is looking at the camera with curiosity. Were you talking to her? Perhaps she already knows her name and where the treats come from

She's gorgeous! I agree with @Scarlet42 - but if the lighting is right it can be possible You were right not to use flash as that would scare her and unfortunately it's often evening and dim light when they come out. However if you have more lights on in the room it can help! Lamp light isn't enough. I turn the "big light" on (ie ceiling light). I also have an anglepoise lamp that can be pointed in various directions - that can be a bit bright for a hamster as well, so I point it at the ceiling and it kind of diffuses the light really well and just brightens the whole room up

Just some ideas for as and when. @Hamster Haven may have some tips too as she has a hamster with very similar colouring

I can tell she is beautiful The angle of her head looking at the camera and her ears perked up - very sweet.

I was talking to her yes she seemed to be listening and considering

Oh yeah! so hard to get the detailed photos with these dark hamsters! I have a mostly solid ceiling to her enclosure, so I get better lighting if I take photos while it's open. I've also played around with editing to adjust the contrast and brightness of a photo after taking it in my phone.

Aw she's adorable. Is that big strawberry a hide? It's really cute, looks like it's just Mindy's size

It is she will prob need a bigger one as she grows as she’s still young. Almost 4 months. Adopted from support adoption at pets at home. Put up for adoption for being too feisty apparently. She’s not she’s just being a hamster.

Exciting update she came on to my hand last night for a pea flake then seemed curious and interested in more snacks. so over the moon. Stayed on my hand arm had a sniff then went back about her business. Made my night though
