Meet my baby WW, Larry-Jasper

[chesca_27]

Hi everyone

Today I finally got my hamster. He is a stunning pearl WW from Tufty Fluff. He is 6 and a half weeks old. I also got a pedigree which dates back to his great great grandparents, some food and treats, a carrier and a bunch of care sheets.

Please welcome Larry-Jasper to HC.

So far, he's been quite active but calm. I got him at 12pm GMT. He has a lovely strawberry house with an open base, but Larry-Jasper decides to dig a burrow under his Silent Spinner which ends up a good few inches below the house, in his nest 🙄. But hamsters will hamster and he is very cute so I forgive him. He also has a tunnel going straight up, next to his nest and another one right in front of his water bottle. He won't go in the house 😂, seems terrified of it. Larry-Jasper has also been in the sand bath, which he still doesn't understand the point of and tried to work out how to use a wheel. I also got to watch him drink and eat an almond up close.

In the car, he was just running and digging all over the carrier, provided by Sue. At her house, I got to hold him and he is so friendly and cute. I also saw her other WW litter and her Campbells litter. They were all so cute. There were also LOADS of Syrian litters as well.

I am hoping that when he is old enough, he can be a show hamster. Apparently, one of his litter mates came second in one of the WW classes yesterday, so fingers crossed he will do as well.

If anyone is looking for a breeder, Tufty Fluff hamsters are amazing.

Here are some pictures (please see my last thread to know why he is in a temporary small cage).

Pic 1: Standing up and looking around after I suddenly moved 😂

Pic 2: Having a little nose about in his burrow next to his nesting 'room'

Pic 3: Snacking on an almond

Pic 4: Sorry it's blurry. The fluffball by the wheel is him digging his burrow, or attempting to salvage it as it kept caving in.

Pic 5: More eating

I have just welcomed Larry-Jasper in your other thread. You have answered my question there. It's an amazing Hamstery. Floor to ceiling beautiful hammies! I will be going back in the future I am sure.

[chesca_27]

Thanks! I'm sure I will always get hammies from there as well.

Wow! What an adorable little fluff ball! Welcome, Larry-Jasper! May we call you LJ? Lol

[chesca_27]

Thank you pinkneon! I certainly think he's cute. He says thanks. He says his nickname is Jasper.

Aw you've been waiting for ages (November wasn't it?!) for him and it was clearly worth it

He is such an adorable fluff ball and his name is just too cute, LJ would be a great nickname

[freyashamsters]

Also, may I ask, what type of carrier were you provided with? Just wondering if I need to get a new one

Definitely worth the wait (it was November). Thank you. I love his name as well, I picked it two years ago ��!

Sue gave me an ice cream tub with holes drilled into the top and filled with the substrate he's been living in. If you want something more permanent, I suggest this, just make sure it's the large one or this in the small size. It's perfect for longer journeys, shows, hospital cage, travel cage, vets and if you need someone to look after your hamster while on holiday. Here is my honest review that Pets at Home wouldn't let me post .

Okay thank you, I'll get the Aladino one then
