Default Nugget's thread

Meet the new member of our Hamily - Nugget the Robo. Full name Charlie Hero Nugget Junior. Age 8 weeks.

But known as Nugget He's adorable and very interested in things.

He came home this afternoon, leaving his Mum and sisters behind. His brothers went last week so he was all on his own. His Hamster Mum was very nice and had been handling him daily.

He is absolutely teeny tiny! About the size of my thumb. Here he is looking a bit alone in his old cage when I went to collect him.

Here he is in the pet carrier (a bit blurry lol)

Attachment 43078

Attachment 43077

And in his new home - the Kerry Terrarium. He had a really good explore and seemed happy with it. You can just see his little face under the shelf.

Attachment 43079

It was a bit hard getting photos of him but have a video of him exploring the cage which I'll upload later.

Thank you Flower Fairy Apparently he's been a bit nervy and skittish since his brothers left last week and he was all on his own. He doesn't seem skittish to me but maybe a bit bewildered

Welcome to HC little one. Long name is terrific but Nugget is perfect. Superb set up. That will settle him down as there is so much to explore. You get the idea of perpetual motion then disappear already from the vids! Such fun to watch. Tiny isn't he Serendipity compared to what you have been used to! Nugget loves those yellow cubes as I predicted. Goodness knows where he will sleep. Just bury himself possibly. Good luck finding a wee spot. I never did with Loki when she visited. Output too small.

Thank you Coco Yes he just disappeared! An hour or so later I came in the room and saw him zipping about and the pumpkin seeds have gone. He does sit and look at you though. I hope he finds somewhere to sleep by tomorrow.

Apparently none of the litter or parents used wheels at all, which seems strange. He hasn't shown much interest in the wheel yet either. I've never heard of robos not running in wheels.

Awwww! Hello Nugget, aren't you just the sweetest little man

Congrats Serendipity, he really is gorgeous, love the name too, long & short version.
His tank looks great, lots to keep him busy & he looks like he's having lots of fun exploring, I love the way they suddenly vanish then pop up somewhere unexpected.

Very strange about the wheel, maybe now he has such a nice one he'll get interested & learn to love it.
