Went into PAH to buy a couple of bendy bridges for Hamish's cage and made the mistake of noticing this beautiful little girl and well... she came home with me!

(DH has put his foot down, 3 cages is enough. I agree with him, I don't think I can find room for any more :rolleyes:)

She sat there and let me stroke her for a few minutes after I took the photos, she's so sweet :)

Would anyone be able to tell me what her colouring is? I know she's a hybrid but she looks more like WW colouring to me?

Aww she is adorable. Lucky ham having you as a new mum :) She looks like a Normal pearl WW though she is likely a hybrid as you say.
Hope she settles in well :)

Thank you :)

Will definitely be treating her as a hybrid. Lead to an interesting discussion with my 7 year old daughter about diabetes in both hamsters and humans and talking about which foods she could and couldn't have.

"Must keep eyes averted from the adoption centre, must keep eyes averted from the adoption centre..." I say it every time I go in but like you, I have succombed in the past :D!

What a beautiful hamster your new girl is, so glad she found you :)

My teeny girl is getting so brave. We've had her 5 days and at first she would squeak if I tried to hold her. Now she will sit on my hands and accept a gentle stroke

She's still a bit fast and easily scared to have play time outside the cage yet so I only handle her inside the cage. She's made such progress in the time we've had her, so proud of my teeny girl :)

She is absolutely gorgeous! I can see why you wanted her :) I am now banned from going to the Adoption Centre because I wind my folks up by asking for every ham there.

Good to see the taming is going so well too! She seems very happy in your hands :)

She was 23g two days after I bought her and yesterday (5 days later) she had put on 5g and weighed 28g. She feels incredibly tiny, especially if I've just been snuggling Hamish. We were told she's 3 months old :confused:

She let me pick her up last night rather than scooping or walking onto my hands from something else, such a brave girl :)

She's around 5 months old now, we don't know her exact age, and still weighs a teeny 28-30g depending on the time of day.

Not sure, I hadn't noticed a change but looking back at the photos I posted before she may well have done! Wonder if she'll go darker again when the weather warms up

My gorgeous girl is causing me a bit of worry at the moment with some weight loss but she's still as friendly and sweet as ever :)
