Raffy (Syrian Hamster)

Hi Maz, I missed the video of Raffy on his saucer, it’s great he still loves a run. His home always looks so cosy, it’s lovely he let you record him just smooching around and that you were able to give him a stroke too, he‘s gorgeous. Birthday treats are at the ready I hear??
 
Thank you Zara. Yes birthday treats nearly ready! Hopefully tomorrow! If I can get organised! Some time over the week-end anyway.
 
I did Raffy's birthday on a separate thread/post, but here are his birthday presents now inside his cage so it's getting a bit more filled up. The "ice cream" cone has already been beheaded :)

Thank you :) I still think it looks a little bare but I don't want to put too much more on the floor area as he's so active and it might annoy him having to walk round things! He's very happy to have his ceramic salt pig back - and it's full of treats already.
 
An update on Raffy’s ice cream cone. The top ball part had disappeared by the next day! It’s not exactly small so I don’t think he can have eaten it all or even carried it far, so I think he must have rolled it into his house. I’ll check next time I look for his pee spot.

At the moment I’m not quite sure where he is peeing. As the ceramic toilet didn’t fit in the compartment next to the nest, I put it in the further away compartment. Not only did he not use it (maybe too far away from his nesting area), but it had subsided as he’d been digging in that compartment. So no idea where he is peeing. I will put the plastic one in the compartment next to the nest and see if he uses that - familiar layout for him.

He is still very active when free roaming and getting into all sorts and racketing about. Tonight he had climbed on the hearth. Which is forbidden! The first time he ever did that I said No! so strongly that he never did it again. Until tonight. I ushered him off. He climbed back again. So I said no! You know you’re not allowed on there! That got through and he scampered off it again quickly. There is no fire lit but the hearth is a bit of a dusty place and the poker isn’t exactly clean for him to rub against!
 
That’s very convenient if the top of the cone rolled into his house, he can take his time having a nibble in bed!
Had to laugh at him getting into the hearth, sounds like the perfect place to get up to some mischief!
 
I love the adventures Raffy gets up to when he is free roaming. He is so funny. :)

If it rolled, it had a long way to roll! Last time I saw it, it was under the shelf at the opposite end of the cage to the house! I’m curious as to where it is. Although it’s possibly he broke it all up and pouched chunks of it separately.
 
Raffy being a pickle in the hearth, he just loves being cheeky, almost like he knows he’s not supposed to go in it, but just testing it out.

He’s no doubt stashed the head of the cone somewhere secret, will be interesting to see where it shows up.

That's tricky when they move their bath spot and you can't find it for spot cleaning. Sounds like he's still as boisterous as ever when he wants to be, he's precious
 
I am unfortunately having to avoid Raffy at the moment as have a flu type bug with a fever (not Covid apparently). But he had a good long run the other night and has his nice big cage :)
 
Thank you - who said that ha ha? Sorry I'm in a blur!
