Rosie (Syrian hamster)

[Scarlet42]

I've just discovered I meant to start a thread for Rosie before the forum closed down, didn't quite get round to it, then forgot when it re-opened.

She enjoys her playpen (if enjoys means she spends a fair bit of time chewing it) and here's a photo of her climbing up me (in my dressing gown) in the playpen.



Last night she was in her playpen. It was hot, so I had the front door open and I was sitting keeping an eye/ear on her next to the playpen, but on the far side from the door. And then next door's cat was suddenly right there by the playpen, having wandered in through the front door. I have no idea if the cat spotted her, but I shooed him out pretty quick (he runs away if I get near him, so he's easy to shoo). Rosie was in the middle of her playpen and was meerkatting the whole time, looking curious about what was going on. She wasn't bothered at all.

That little face! She's looking up at you. I'm definitely looking forward to following Rosie's thread I think I can spot that she has the Omlet playpen as well - they're great aren't they? The large one is just so big (and I like bending it in odd shapes sometimes as well!). That must have been a very scary moment to find a cat had appeared! There used to be one that came in the house where I lived previously if the door was open. It turned out it was an adopted stray who seemed to like living in various different nearby houses!

She's gorgeous, quite a confident girl

Confident is definitely a good word for Rosie.

She does have the Omelet playpen. It's standing up well (so far) to her chewing the hinges.

Yes I've noticed they get curious about the hinges. When Tino started trying to get out, he was trying to chew at the bottom - our floor is slightly uneven so there was a very slight gap at the bottom, and he was determined to try and get his teeth round it!
