Update on Max
Max seems to be keen to follow in big brother Jaska’s pawsteps and be a recluse! He still doesn’t come out until we are away to bed and very occasionally you catch sight of him during the day if he is going for a drink. He doesn’t seem scared of us though as he’ll come and get some seeds from you if he wants to but he doesn’t seem interested in socialising lol.
He was getting a spring clean in his cage on Saturday so I popped him in to his travel box with his house and a drop of scatter feed. He wasn’t best pleased as he skulked around the box squeaking his displeasure at me before going back in to his house for a sleep. The last time he got a cage clean it was awful (we’d put him in a smallish cardboard box with some of his toys, food, water, hidey holes in it), he was having quite the hamtrum, kicking his food everywhere and trying to climb out. I’m not sure who was the most stressed by the end of it, me or him!
With him being such a night time hamster I’m struggling to know what to do with giving him fresh veg. I feel like he’s missing out on something that would be good for him. Should I just put it in his cage at night and hope he doesn’t hide it?
The pics I got are a bit blurry but thought I’d share so you can see him
