Timmy update

[pophammy]

Ahhh,he's a spoilt little lad then, indulging on melon cubes every day! Glad to here that he's grown. Keep up the good work, Babyboos!

[babyboos]

He is such a contented wee soul, I wish there was something more we could do for him. I sometimes feel we are being selfish keeping him to ourselves, he is so full of character I know someone would find him a great pet. I do feel a lot happier that he has got to this stage and is quite rapid though not as dextrous as a normal Syrian. He seems to have no trouble with bowel movements and no attitude problems at all. Quite pleased to just sit and be stroked before having a bit of a waddle around the carpet.

How is the little lad doing Babyboos? Hey and did Sheffield go well. We were away.

He is doing great loves having his tummy tickled - when Jules does it you should see Timmy's face he wiggles his little hands like he is clapping, and gives his face a good wash - it looks a bit like he is wiping the tears from his eyes even though he is just washing.

Aw, I'm so glad, sometimes the little disabled ones who seem to have drawn the short straw are the most rewarding and loveliest of all...like our Runty

[babyboos]

Little Timmy was having a great time tonight playing in his toilet roll tube - not happy with chewing it half to death and bashing it against the walls of his tub he has now decided it will be a laugh to roll inside it from one side of the tub to the other... so we had a good laugh and roll around on the floor ourselves and let him have a romp around the rug which he seemed to love and got quite grumpy when we tried to put him back... stroppy teenager hamster

Timmy you are amazing considering how you are coping with your disability. Long may you continue to manage and great work babyboos and jules for helping him

[babyboos]

do his legs look like Runty's?

[souffle]

No Babyboos, Runty's legs were pretty normal and he could walk normally , it was his spine which came down about midway then curved back a bit like a J so his tail was right over his back facing his ears. Towards the end of his life he did start to drag his legs behind sometimes. His pom poms were pulled up and in sort of and I doubt he would have been fertile as they would be too warm! We would never have mated him anyway but he still liked the ladies-old charmer!

[babyboos]

I wish Timmy's legs were better he clearly enjoys motion but there is no way he could work a wheel
