I found the receipt from Pets at Home when we got Meat and his brother (I paid £15 for them both and they came home on 10th January 2012) and it reminded me of when I went with my sister to get them. Meat was quite shy in a way. He was sat in a corner of the enclosure whilst his brother was running about all over the place. Meat was the kind of hamster that most people would probably have ignored. He was tamed within a week and almost seemed reassured by our contact.
Once we separated him from his brother, he came out of his shell more and became happier to come out and play properly rather than sit in the corner. He learnt how to seek our attention and used it to his advantage and has oodles of charisma for such a little guy. I often joke that he needs to give May lessons.

It's funny you mention them being mouse-like because when I took him to the vet to have his teeth trimmed a guy peered into his travel box and asked me whether he was some kind of mouse.

I too think the Chinese dwarf looks a bit like a mouse.

I`m pretty sure that`s why I took to Chinese hamsters because having kept mice for over ten years as pets, I could see the similarities! Body shape, intelligence, like climbing and although Chinese hamsters do have a `scent`, they have nothing on mice when it comes to smell!!!! x

My little May seems to have grown so quick. She's bigger than Meat now and yet it only seems like I've had her a few days. I've had her over a month now.

Here she is at playtime yesterday...

I was writing the date on the sign in sheet at work earlier today and I realised it's May and what better way to celebrate than with a picture of my gorgeous little May...



She thinks she's a Very Important Hamster to have a whole month named after her.

(She was actually named after Imelda May and Brian May rather than the month but I thought it was still worth sharing her picture anyway)
