Thank you Cypher for the suggestions . Also thank you BorishPasha !

Weirdly enough, I put some of the tart in his cage tonight and he's pouched all of it! He also pouched some on my hand, which was utterly adorable. I guess he's now decided he likes it. He could barely shove it into his mouth lol. I need to teach him some manners .

Aw! Maybe he was just too busy enjoying his presents to want his tart on his birthday
They are funny like that, just when you think they really don't like something they prove you wrong!

Lol ! I have to agree. Some days Jasper will like something, other days, he couldn't care less .

Last night, he hopped into his sand bath (it's attached to the bars of his travel cage) and just stood up on his back legs to reach the top of the cage, so I pushed a pumpkin seed through and he caught it. It was so cute.

Larry jasper photos were very cute.

It's a pity the sputnik was too big for him. My hamster doesn't like his sputnik and I think that it's because it's too small for him. It's hard to please them!

The cake looks lovely!!

Don't know why I didn't see these replies but anyway. Thank you so much guys .

Had a bit of a bad time at volunteering today (one of the veterinary nurses really upset me) but luckily Jasper cheered me up with his beautiful self. Also having guinea pig cuddles, chocolate coated rice cakes and watching Friends (the show) helped.

I haven't had much time the last few days to play with Jasper, unfortunately (serves me right for leaving my homework to the last minute), but I had a quick cuddle with him this evening. I love watching him play and run, it's the cutest thing. He's surprisingly agile and manages to climb quite well on his toys and shelves.

He is still in his big travel cage (Pets At Home Large Wire cage). It's not ideal, but it's better than a lot of my other options. I do have it set up to provide maximum enrichment (space for toys and shelves) though, so that helps slightly. I think he will be going back to his normal cage next week, because my Dad is in Paris at the moment.

I'm going to start planning a proper natural themed cage for him, so I'm hopefully going to get some hemp bedding to mix with some Fitch, to make it look more natural. I also have some smooth stones that need sanitising to border a sand pit/wheel area. I plan to use a couple of other wooden toys and definitely my piece of cork wood to add to the theme. I guess I better start binge watching some hamster cage themes (HoppingHammy here I come ).

I guess I've rambled on a bit, but I feel like this an excellent place for me to just ramble about my life because I have no where else to put it (my friends don't really know about my 'secret' double life on Hamster Central and I don't think they'd really understand). I'm just so thankful for this forum and I've been so lucky to meet some wonderful, caring and supportive people.

Don't worry chesca, our duties must come first, but we will be here waiting for your ramblings. I am anyone to judge other's ramblings as I love to ramble about everything too.

Looking forward to know how your natural theme looks! I love natural themes.

My friends think that I'am already crazy with my ham , I wouldn't want them to see what I do/say in this page, so I can understand you, but that's one of the best things of HC, we can share our experiences with people like us that understand us

I agree with everything Hamsterita said No matter how hard I try not to talk about the hamsters all the time to my family I can't help it (I'm sure they think I'm completely mad so it's nice to come on here and ramble on about them to everyone )

I've been out most of the day and was so excited to get home to see them (see how mad these hams have made me?) and not one of them is about lol.

Thanks Hamsterita and BorisPasha ! You've both cheered me up a lot .

I get desperate to come home and see the pigs by the time I get to my last lesson at school lol. Not Larry-Jasper so much because he's always asleep then.

I think I'm going to order another batch of hamster food this weekend from Mixerama, so I should be updating my hamster diet thread (it's quite old lol) but I am currently quite happy with the mix. I do enjoy all this ham nutrition stuff. I don't claim to be an expert on ham nutrition (I think we can agree Cypher tends to be the expert with dwarf hamster nutrition ), but I certainly have an interest in it. For anyone who doesn't know, I make my own hamster food, thanks to a lot of help from Cypher and a bad case of too much time on my hands lol. I don't really share the recipe as I'd rather it not be my responsibility if someone else's ham got sick from it, but Jasper seems to be thriving on it and it is tailored specifically for him. If I got another ham (please god I will be allowed another hamster later this year), I would probably tailor a mix to that ham too (depending on age and species).

Maybe you found that ramble interesting or helpful? If you do have any questions on making hamster food, there are a couple of threads which you might find helpful.

I think I might turn this into a Jasper update and random ham ramble thread. Anyway, I fed Jasper tonight. It's so cute when he hoovers all the little seeds up and out of the food. He also had a quick play time, which was mainly him washing in his Leif House. He licked some flaxseed off of my fingers as well, which is adorable and funny to watch.

I'm going to the London Pet Show on Sunday, so hopefully Jasper might get a couple of extra bits and bobs, but it's mainly for the guineas, as Jasper just had his birthday and both guinea birthdays will be very soon. We celebrate Oreo's birthday on 31st May, when he will be six! And Pemba's is on 31st June (approx) when he will be 2. I think I will be getting quite a few fleece items as there's always far more choice at shows and I don't have to pay shipping (I'm cheap like that lol).
