I've never seen an aging ham change colors like that, he looks so cute in his twilight months (can't really say years lol)

I loved Tycor story, it was so sweet. His pics are very sweet too. He looked like a very gentle ham. It's incredible how his coat changed when he got old... well, what more can I say about your little one? You know how much I hate black hams

My heart melted at those pics, especially the one where he is standing waiting to get out his playpen. What a gorgeous boy, it's amazing to see how his coat changed but it made him look very distinguished

A delightful tale of a lovely ham. Interesting changes to his coat over time. He sounds like he was a real gentleham.

Thanks guys

I do remember him as a rather distinguished gentleman as he aged & it did rather suit him!
lol! Hamsterita I know just how much you hate black hams

Today I'll introduce Ziggy Stardust, some of you will have seen the odd photo or video here & there but like T'ycor he was before my HC time.

It took me some time to even think about getting a second ham after my little T'ycor went to the bridge but sooner or later that ham shaped hole in the heart has to be filled so along came my little Ziggy.

He was such a sweet & inquisitive little ham, another who really needed no taming at all & we bonded so quickly, this, always one of my favourite photos of him just captures his character perfectly.

I love seeing tiny young hams in bowls so here are a couple of Zig!

And one of him being the perfect ball of fluff in his sand.

Gosh, Just look at those cheeks, Ziggy is a starham in those pics. I too find the sitting in the bowl so adorable. Such a handsome boy Cypher, lovely colour.

I can see how you like to keep one Russian & a few Chineseys at a time lol. Ziggy is adorable, how can you give up a Russians sweet little nature.

BorisPasha · 08-04-2017, 09:09 AM

Oh what a gorgeous boy Ziggy was, Lizzy is right he's definitely a starham

His coat is gorgeous, so many colours in it

I look forward to hearing more about this adorable fluff ball

Thanks Lizzy, CB, BP & Coco, he was an adorable little man, glad you liked him

A few more photos of him again today.

This has always been one of my favourites.

He loved his veg & firmly believed that you should always eat cucumber from the middle out!
