I took a few pics of our recent adoptee last night, so here's a couple of them:

He's so friendly! He was sniffing John's hand in the first pic. I love his little 'waddle' when he's out. Bless him! :D

He's lovely! Is he quite large in size? He looks massive :-)

Adorable. What a handsome fellow. Great pics and he looks well settled now. :lol:

Well I've never had a Syrian hamster before (ok, so I've never had a hamster before!) so I don't know how big he is in comparison to other hammies, but he is a decent size. He can easily fit through the Ferplast hamster-sized tubes though so I don't think he's excessively big for a hamster.

The chair he's on is a normal Ikea computer chair (complete with rainbow-coloured cushion!) so you can get the idea of Herbert's size. :)

Aww what a beautiful boy Herbert is. I love that 'stand up and beg' pose in the first photo! :x Maybe he thought your OHs hand had a little treat in for him?

If my Bramble were a little bit younger (she is a golden banded too) then she would certainly be batting her eyelashes at Herbert! :x

Aww, congrats on your new arrival :D
Herbert looks like a little character already, lovely little one you got there.

Herbert says thank you for the compliments! :lol:

He's only 6 months old apparently, so still quite young. He is a character! He tires quite quickly when he's out so I don't think he's that fit but hopefully his Wodent Wheel will come today so that he can exercise properly. :)

I love to sit and watch him carefully gathering food in his cage and taking to his special 'stashing place'. He loves curly kale too, I'm slowly introducing him to fresh foods as I'm not sure whether he will have had any before. He was sooo excited to see the kale, bless him! I just wish my husband was so eager to eat his veggies!! 8)

Awwh, it sounds like your Herbert and my Desi are twin souls, both 6 month old rescues and probably a bit unfit. Still if Herbert is anything like Desi he will soon be making up for lost time. :D

He's a very handsome lad and looks full of character in his pictures. Looks like he is very grateful to have been rescued by you and your OH :D

Looks great and a nice young lad (approx 20yrs old in human years)
