Default I got my boyfriend a hamster...

Before you say anything... I know I know. It feels like my family are getting a new pet every 5 minutes BUT I have had this little guy secretly for 2 weeks now. (considering he comes round my house every other day, i did not understand how he didnt realise)

So starting from the beginning...
For a while my boyfriend has been saying he wanted a pet that was not a family pet but his parents denied him a dog or a cat or a rabbit since they were require a lot of attention. He was devastated, and that is when i had the idea of getting him a hamster. This seemed like a good option as they are they do not require AS MUCH maintenance and do not cost as much as the pets mentioned before (he also was not interested in goldfish as well, they dont do much). So, i phoned his mum and asked her how she would feel about me giving him a hamster and she said it was a great idea! So 2 days later I went to 3 different p@h but none of them in my area had hams up for adoption and since getting Bella i have decided i dont want to buy anymore but i was running out of options so i went to a little independent store near my house who keep really good care of their hamsters (they only stock males) and i decided i would rather but my money into this business than into the p@h chain.

So, I purchased a hamster from there and put him in a spare hamster heaven i keep in my loft. He has been living in my mums room for the past 2 weeks as i didnt want my boyfriend to see him as the little ham is part of his 18th birthday present from me (his birthday is tomorrow so that is when i will be giving him to him). The reason i got him a couple of weeks early was so i could do some taming with him (although he was practically already tame) and so he got used to his new cage so that would not be something my boyfriend would have to do himself.

I think getting him a hamster was a good decision as if he has questions he can always come straight to me (not gonna lie im probz gonna get a phone call every month saying "V, come and clean out the hamster for me" but all in all i am positive it was a great idea.

Obviously, I have not named him yet as i think that is his decision so i have just been calling him "lil fella" for the past couple of weeks. I do know he is a definite male and he is definitely a very curious hamster who loves to explore everything but he is also a very chilled out hamster.

Tomorrow i will add a post to this thread giving you my boyfriends reaction (hopefully it will be a good one)and what he has named him. I am not sure he will join this forum as he is quite busy with schoolwork and will probably just ping me a text if he is unsure on anything and if i dont know, i can just ask on here myself. Below I have attached a picture of the little guy (ignore my little brothers manky feet haha). I hope you didnt mind reading this stupidly long post and that you are excited to hear updates on him

Aww, Lil Fella is SO adorable!!! I love his impressive ears and his smiley face, lol. I think it was so sweet of you to give your boyfriend a special, surprise hammy that his parents would approve of and begin taming him, too. I think it is always a very good experience to have people learn to solely care for a pet that is utterly dependent on them; not only does it allow them to create a special and loving bond with another, but it expands their capacity to have patience, compassion, and unconditional love and become even more responsible. I look forward to hearing how your boyfriend reacts to his awesome and thoughtful present from you and what name he has given to Lil Fella. I wish your boyfriend a very happy birthday tomorrow and Lil Fella an amazing life filled with tons and tons of love.

He was very very happy!
He decided to name him squashy after the sweets squashies as they are my favourite sweet and since the new ham has a sweet face and he wanted to think of me whenever he looked at him, he wanted to name him something to do with me and sweets (cute and corny at the same time)

I'm so happy that your boyfriend was so thrilled to get his very special birthday surprise, and he totally loves Squashy. I think lil one's his new name is SO adorable and "sweet"; I love that your boyfriend wanted to name him after something that reminds him of you and sweetness. I totally love cute and corny. (Unfortunately, I am not familiar with sweet squashies, lol; maybe, they aren't sold in the U.S.) I hope that the two of them enjoy an amazing, loving bond with one another.
