Second chance hamsters

[elusive]

Love the video of Toby having a good sniff around, I wondered if you’d been cooking too!
Lovely photo of him with his linseeds, he really is such a sweet handsome little ham

My cooking would make them hide not sniff.
I think he was sniffing for his linseeds. I dropped a pinch on his little hemp mat while he was inside his sand jar.
I'm so glad that he seems a bit more settled now.

Oh dear. I just moved Toby's clay tunnel a little to go under his water bottle and promptly got screeched at by an irate dwarf!

Dwarfs really hate any kind of disturbance during their sleeping hours.

Toby telling me off.

Oops. Hopefully he will forgive you later.

Oh dear! Maybe he's just adjusting to the changes but it sounds more like, as you say, he was disturbed while sleeping. He'll probably have forgotten about it later.

I had already closed his door and moved away from his cage when he started again.

He's calmed down now and gone back to sleep i guess.

Don't think it's a matter of adjusting or insecurity. Dwarfs can be like that, some more than others. Gertie was a very friendly and sweet dwarf when awake but had a personality change when woken by mistake while spot cleaning. They often sleep in different places underground which doesn't help.

Grumpy boy! I’m sure he’ll probably have forgotten by the time he wakes up again.

You received a proper telling off there Beryl!

So it's not just Albert who sleeps in different places underground. Russian hamsters generally do it?

A lot of them do, a bit nomadic!

I don't think Russians forget that easily.
The last time I upset Albert he milked it for 2 days.

Ha, ha, he's a character. Such cute videos, great to see him enjoying his linseeds

This boy is trouble.

 

[Member ID2]

I just let dwarf Toby loose in the whole freeroaming area and he's picking up speed. That boy is fast. I can pick him up now.

 

[Maz]

Is that Davy in the bathroom?!

 

[Member ID2]

Yes, i don't know why he has that fascination with the bathroom. I forgot to move the scales and bin away from the wall and the little chancer climbed up the bath again.

 

[Maz]

He's a very cheeky one - and he always looks so sweet with it as well! He is quite a poser actually!

Davy is so full of mischief, have to love it! He does always look really sweet, such an innocent little face.
