Oooooooooo did Nibbles like his first brushing the other night! Using a toothbrush I let him sniff it first, wasn't that bothered, then started to gently brush his coat. He flinched a teeny tiny bit at first then just sat motionless, ears forward, and flattened his body a little while I groomed all over his back and his skirt and the back of his head behind and in between his ears! He sat there for a good minute or so and his coat was all soft afterwards and carefresh free! He only gets a little bit of the bedding on his longest skirt at the back (He doesn't have a real long coat, more just fluffy all over). But boy, was he nice and soft! I had to do the face rub afterwards LOL. I usualy give him a quick skirt brush when he first comes out for the evening now, esp if he has bedding in it, and a quick back scratch!

Another first for him was last night when he finally just took a rest in the crook of my elbow. I was wondering when he would first do this as he's always in such a hurry to explore and never normally sits still for 5 seconds! (My old Whiskey used to love sleeping on me a lot.) But finally he rested and we both just sat there for 5 minutes and bonded! lol.

I just love my Nibbles......... :D

He he.. aww I’m glad that Nibbles liked the special attention, after all Nibbles is like a super model in the world of hams, look at the beautiful color and precious face, Nibbles need his beauty brushing to keep looking cute and handsome.

Bet he really enjoyed it ! When I used to brush Snowy (he was a Long-haired Syrian hamster as well) he used have such a funny look on his eyes. :D

Unless you can put it on timer of course - I can't imagine it would be possible with one hand but maybe???

I'll have to see what I can do! I brushed him last night but he wasn't in the "bliss" mood I guess, just wanted to run around - "I'm out, I'm out, wooo hooooooooo"!
