Smile Larry-Jasper's thread

Hi everyone. Larry-Jasper is my baby WW. I have a meet him thread which can be found here if you want to know a bit more about him and how he settled in so far. Why do most of my photos show him in a small cage?

From now on though this will be his main thread.

Background info: He was born on 27/04/16 at Tufty Fluff Hamstery with four siblings I think. I adopted him 12/06/16. Jasper is his nickname and he is a stunning pearl. He has his own pedigree . So far, his favourite treats are carrot puree baby food and kale. Jasper is a little monkey, or meerkat is better since he stands like a tiny, grey meerkat A LOT, which is a good thing because it makes him look cute. Anyway I forgot to mention he loves to dig. He spends most of his time in his burrow which consists of half the cage and likes the make the bedding higher so it can fall out the bars.

He woke up about 10 mins ago for some kale. I'll attach a couple photos at the bottom. I also have a bunch of beach photos here on post 38 and a behind the scenes video here. I'll try and get a video of the kale eating and put it on YouTube.

I think that's everything so far.

He really is lovely, great to hear how well he's settled in.
He really does seem to be enjoying his day at the beach

Thank you Pinkneon. Yes I would say it's quite similar but much curlier. I don't really eat kale or spinach but my guinea pigs live for it so we normally have some. In my photos, the kale is in the bowl .

Kale photos for reference.

Jasper came out for cuddles this morning. He is convinced I am a giant treat that he can chew on, but he doesn't bite hard. I am struggling to find treats he likes though. Any clear winners with other hams? I've got an idea for a hamster safe lasagne so I think I'm gonna try that out later - if it works I'll create a thread about the recipe.

We had play pen time yesterday. His favourite part was nearly scaring me to death by going in places and holes he shouldn't - he was on my desk. Larry-Jasper loved running through all his different tubes, especially those brightly coloured extendable ones.

He's eating and drinking normally and he really likes seeds. He is a very active little hamster and seems to wake up in the day a lot for a climb and a run on his wheel. Unfortunately, this means he doesn't really wake up properly until about 11 or 12 at night, but I am normally awake this late.

I think that's all my updates so far - sorry they're a bit boring; my life isn't very interesting lol.

Millet sprays and mealworms seem to be a very popular choice for dwarf hams

Thanks . Though, the thing is there are already plenty of mealworms in his main food and he has millet sprays which he likes to bite into little pieces and spit out .
